Scoopy, new, by me: Meet Rey, the Admin of 'Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters' "A prolific cybercriminal group that calls itself "Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters" made headlines regularly this year by stealing data from and publicly mass extorting dozens of major […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Happy #caturday from the box! #catsofmastodon

Folks, be the cool human who deletes ALL the phone profiles from the automobile console when you return the rental, not just yours. Take care of your uninformed human siblings.

Holy smokes. Federal Court says Texas can't use its new gerrymandered map in 2026, but it's not clear that this impacts the California response. Sure the reason for the new CA map was the Texas changes, but I doubt that the new CA map is dependent on Texas. #uspol #texas #california #redistricting

Ah, the magic of travel. But, home soon! #travel #airport

I really do not love heading to the airport for a 5:30 AM flight

@deviantollam Random question out of the blue: Looking at moving my father's shotguns from AZ to IL at some point with zero urgency, somewhere between 5 and 10 of them. Buy boxes and ship or just say screw it and road trip once national parks are open again? Not traveling there enough to make […]

Friendly reminder: * Do not give #picathecat or any cat probably your SS number. * It is not a good idea to "let Pica keep your snacks and tuna safe for you" * Pica is NOT FDIC insured and any returns she promises on investments are for "fictional purposes only" * Pica knows NOTHING about […]

Gracie not thrilled to be trying a cat harness #caturday #catsofmastodon

I'm a bit annoyed by what's effectively a sales email process from #haveibeenpwned - notification that an email+password on my personal domain was found in the #synthient breach. Follow the link, enter the address used to confirm domain ownership, wait for a second email, follow the link, get […]

Random thought from the blue: Meryl Streep was way ahead of AI music all the way back in 2002 with Nobody Understands Me. https://youtu.be/9B1uR2PylJk #merylstreep #boynton #nonotai

Ok, this is just cool. #hurricane #hurricanemelissa #noaa #goes #weather https://satlib.cira.colostate.edu/weather_media/full-lifetime-journey-of-hurricane-melissa/

The whole MIT / @GossiTheDog malware study saga is so funny, because aside from the paper absolutely being crazy AI marketing FUD, there’s a crack of accidental admission about the fact that what the industry been hyping this whole time as 📣✨AI✨📣 is just sparkling ML and polymorphism.

Discussion and my thoughts on the cybersecurity market in a conversation happening on BlueSky

Oh, Jings. Both #Google and #Amazon are revealed to be #complicit in the #GazaGenocide. In an extraordinary twist to the story, #microsoft#gazagenocide#complicit#amazon#google shown to be (slightly) more scrupulous and to have withdrawn services this August, as the scale of the crime became obvious. Disentangling my life from […]

The birthday girl got a new box (warmed from below by electronics). #catsofmastodon

Anyone even vaguely interested in #melissa or weather imagery should take a look at https://satlib.cira.colostate.edu/satellites/goes-19/ (archive, current top of list is Melissa-related) and https://satlib.cira.colostate.edu/event/hurricane-melissa/ (event-specific)

Even if you think some of Mamdani’s policy ideas are ill-conceived dorm room stuff (which I do), the level of performative panic around him just seems bizzarely, irrationally detached from any sense of what an NYC mayor can actually DO unilaterally.

This part

Probably not on everyone's radar but the amount of circular dealing for #numbersgoup in #ai and graphics processors is amazing. #gamersnexus but relevant for everyone. Also he's a bit salty about #bloomberg. https://youtu.be/h3JfOxx6Hh4?si=xygGiaoT_hiLMHdK

Re: #mamdani (kind of), I think it would be fascinating if some folks elsewhere (and possibly in very unlikely races) made a big point of always bringing up their opponent's religion. That's right, go HARD after "My opponent the Protestant says that his religion doesn't shape his views, but we […]

Just realized I am now Midwest nice plus Australia nice and all I need to do is move to Canada for a bit and I'll be -unbearably- friendly and apologetic.

Slightly early #caturday, who needs a cat bed when you have packing paper? #catsofmastodon

Been thinking a lot lately about how many fresh college grads are probably going to wind up joining the cybercrime community thanks to AI's impact to entry-level jobs, particularly in IT. We've spent years telling everyone we had this huge shortage of […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

So #hegseth said that the #dod (not using the nickname) under him will redefine 'toxic' leadership? Because I was under the impression that they already had between the grifter and the alcoholic neonazi.

Is it wrong that I'll happily take tonight's #nfl Green Bay-Dallas tie as "good, both teams lose"?

Pentcat. #catsofmastodon #caturday

Huh. #til that a) TI makes a calculator that runs #Python code, b) #CircuitPython is a thing - and it's from adafruit, though that's in part their packaging of MicroPython, c) my wondering which version it's based on is probably completely silly (or stupid) […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Is it wrong that I'm about to buy a dozen 13oz jars of Nutella that's less than a month from its best by date? For $0.99 each?

Woo hoo! #dabears are back! 27-17 Vikings with 2:53 remaining! #qwalitee

I'm informed that these are inadequate and that being in the kitchen requires that I provide something better. #caturday #catsofmastodon

@chillybot I’m working to get this statue of myself commissioned

@violetblue bout sure this actually provides any clarity at all re: vaccination, the US and the FDA but it seems relevant: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/where-do-we-stand-covid-vaccine-recommendations-2025-2025a1000m1w?ecd=WNL_trdalrt_pos1_250823_etid7664012&uac=528885FT&impID=7664012

I remain confused as to why Amazon thinks I would be interested in 30 yards of iron-on fusible sewing interfacing. I don't think I've *ever* purchased sewing interfacing, much less mass quantities of it.

This is a good sign, and it puts me in mind of the time I got booed off Twitter for saying that Matt Gaetz was happy to pay $500 to play a golf tournament because he knows $500 for 18 holes is a great deal

Now I'm ready, paint me like your French cats. #caturday #catsofmastodon

Preparing in her dressing room. #caturday #catsofmastodon

My wife is watching #sharks with researchers diving around a decomposing (floating, 2+ weeks ripe) juvenile humpback whale and all I can think is "drysuit and never ever let your hair get wet or it's going to reek of rotting whale for months."

*sighs* missing the days of open AirDrop.

O'Hare Terminal 2 is quite the throwback experience.

is anyone aware of metrics about the longevity of Fediverse instances by size? I read a diatribe today about how Lemmy/threadiverse is too centralized, lobbying for people to participate in communities on smaller instances. It’s also a common bit of advice given on places like Reddit that people […]

I just saw the #trump rant from Saturday about the #epstein files, Pam #bondi (or some have taken to calling he 'Blondi'?), allegations that they were cooked up by Obama, Hillary, Comey and several others he dislikes. It reminds me of stuff I read back in college from the early days of the […]
