Check out the latest trick North Korea is using to gain access to companies. DPRK employment fraud has been a persistent issue for most tech companies for the last several years. They use decent fake IDs. They can pass basic background checks. They have different approaches for working off your company laptops without you seeing that they are overseas. But they are usually very uneasy about being on camera. So this was the obvious next step. Anyone who’s used TikTok knows the live filters they have are much better than what’s on display here. And the β€œput your hand infront of your face” trick isn’t a problem. This specific instance has not been proven to be DPRK yet. But, as someone who has delt with it a bunch, this has signs it probably is.
WTF, people are using real-time AI to alter their faces during interviews this is a REAL recording from a meeting I had with the developer today!! 1. all of his answers were from ChatGPTβ€”I could smell the GPT-4 bullet point-style responses 2. HE WAS USING SOFTWARE TO CHANGE HIS APPEARANCE why? I do not know... this is messed up. i muted his audio for privacy reasons

Two racks. My friends, it fits in *two racks*. I love the cloud as much as the next person, but $7m over five years to run a workload that will fit in *two racks* makes me want to sleep for a year. Fully automating two racks was not hard. world.hey.com/dhh/we-stand-t…

Don't like the views metric. It's distracting and serves no purpose other than to encourage people to tweet more. Serves Twitter but not users. Should give users ability to turn it off. Also, what is a view? Just that it showed up in someone's feed or was embedded in an article.

After a few days of collection, I analyzed over a million lines of results and found an autorun entry using legitimate install of javaw.exe to launch a randomly named file in the user directory, which turned out to be a Java RAT missed by multiple engines. virustotal.com/#/file/08bd92…

Emotet asks targets to copy the spreadsheet to these folders as they are 'trusted' by Microsoft Office. When a file is launched from these folders it bypasses the Microsoft Office Protected View security feature, allowing macros to automatically execute without warning.

15 years ago my PhD advisor taught me One Weird Trick for editing your own writing. Edit **back to front**, paragraph by paragraph. I still use it and it still surprises me how well it works. When I get my students to do it, it often blows their minds. Try it!

Want to know about a vulnerability that very few people know about? If you see an OAuth request (i.e: GET /authorize?) Look for the "code_challenge=SUPERSECRETCODE" in the GET request and just delete it. If "code challenge" not checked = vuln Reference: ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ie…

Data on more than 1 billion people were leaked from a Shanghai police database. The most astounding aspect of this case may be the fact that it likely wasn’t a hack that caused it, but basic errors in digital hygiene trib.al/YF2cnmI
