Last night, I was targeted for a sophisticated phishing attack on my Apple ID.
This was a high effort concentrated attempt at me.
Other founders are being targeted by the same group/attack, so I’m sharing what happened for visibility.
🧵 Here’s how it went down:
I just backed Multiverse Designer VTT: Craft worlds. Make movies. Roleplay on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/mul…

A friend asked me to find out why his connected lightbulb app was asking for his location, so I ducked out to Australia’s favourite hardware store, Bunnings, and grabbed one to check out.
The Android grid connect app has 500k+ downloads.
Let’s take a quick look! 🧵

I'm ridiculously excited about the #B5AnimatedMovie because it feels the most B5-ish of anything we've done since the original show. Warners was terrific in giving me the freedom to write the story I wanted, and the animation is phenomenal. It's fun, deep, emotional, classic B5.

The original had the best writing and casting of any sci-fi show I've ever watched. My wife wasn't interested but started hanging around more and more when I was watching. Until, one day, she was sitting beside me with tears running down her cheeks after a beloved character died.
The fate of the #Babylon5 pilot may be decided end of this month. Though much of @TheCW was bought by @NXSTMediaGroup the decision also rests heavily with @WarnerbrosTV. If fans want to show their support for B5 & let them know you want this to happen, now is the time #B5onCWin23

Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 838
The die is now cast: BA.5 is destined to be our dominant virus.
In today’s 🧵I discuss the implications on the course of the pandemic, and how to think about responding.
(I use “BA.5” & not “BA.4/5” since BA.5 is poised to outrun BA.4.). (1/25)

I’m glad CISA is providing a companion document w/ the DOJ indictment of the Russian govt operators who targeted ICS. Lots of great info but please don’t follow their mitigation advice for ICS. It’s not practical & in some cases dangerous. A quick thread: us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/alerts…

A historic night at Versailles. After five hours of heated discussions EU leaders said yes to Ukrainian eurointegration. The process started. Now it is up to us and Ukrainians to accomplish it fast. Heroic Ukrainian nation deserves to know that they are welcome in EU.

At today's security council meeting, Lukashenko showed what looks like an actual invasion map. It shows Ukraine military facilities destroyed by missiles from Belarus, attacks directions (everything agrees except Odessa-Transnistria). Also, Ukraine is divided into 4 sectors.
