Why is the @Bitly link checker loading pages? I used it on this phishing link. If only use before the # then everything fine, but if I include the part after the # then Bitly auto redirects me to the phishing page which is very much not safe.
I am live blogging Security and Human Behavior (SHB) today.

How well do social media users understand seemingly simple privacy settings? Do people who use these settings actively know better? This #CSCW2023 paper by @dilarakkl, @kaniea, @mariawolters, and @Walid_Magdy shows they may not: tinyurl.com/binary-privacy-c…

I had the pleasure of co-supervising Florian's PhD with @kaniea through the joint PhD scholarship programme by @UofGlasgow and @EdinburghUni. Thanks also to the examiners @rukzio and @CholletMathieu.

Angela Sasse has just finished opening our post #CHI2023 #usec_summerschool with an inspiring opening talk. She highlighted that security issues are often connected to bad IT in companies - a challenge we're currently facing which will likely stick around for some more time
Implementing fake phishing to test and train staff has many hidden costs and is far more expensive than it seems like it will be. #usec_summerschool @TU_Muenchen
Angela Sasse gives the keynote address at #usec_summerschool with "classical science work emotional improvisation" at amazing @TU_Muenchen venue.
Today I am presenting on research ethics at the CHI summer school on usable security and privacy. #usec_summerschool @TU_Muenchen

Interesting lightning talk from @florian_mathis at #soups2022 about VR as a study environment. Are VR studies the golden future? The answer is no, but similar to online studies VR can help evolving our security and privacy research.

Our team (Applied Privacy Research) at Google will have an opening (soon) for a Research Scientist role (PhD required), based in Sunnyvale, California.
The role is heavily focused on NLP
