Phishing? More like chumming, I wot.
ScanBox installed after victims lured to fake Murdoch news sites with phishing emails
Well, they are targeting the dumbest of the dumb, then.

"Mr Zatko was fired from his senior executive role at Twitter in January 2022 for ineffective leadership and poor performance," a Twitter spokesperson told The Register in an emailed statement.
The part hat doesn't appear in the statement reads as follows:
...because his continual bitching about our ineffective at best, and missing completely at worst, security practices -- and demanding that we do something to fix it -- made him an ongoing annoyance and a PITA, and, well, we can't have that in our C-suite, now can we?
You could run the John Deere version of Doom that was hacked into the Deere "infotainment" (?) console. Take your Ioniq down to the farm and do a paired session!
My wife settled a life-changing personal injury claim after 4 years, because the repeated medical consultations, court appearances and repeatedly going back over the accident was effectively putting her life on hold.
Funny how that works, innit? Almost as if it was designed that way....
Heartfelt good wishes to your wife, AC, along with my hope she is doing well.
If you adjust for passengers carried - a huge risk factor - the stats are entirely the other way around.
Citation, please (or it never happened.)
If you want to play the "OK, boomer" card, Dave, then I'll counter with: this is a typical Millennial/GenZ response -- to make a statement without supporting evidence, and assert it's true simply because you made it.
You're supposed to keep your hands on the wheel and be able to take over at any time.
You're supposed to not drink and drive. You're supposed to maintain a safe interval between you and the car in front of you. You're supposed to use turn signals. You're supposed to come to a full stop at a stop sign. You're supposed to not text while driving. You're supposed to change one lane at a time on a multi-lane highway. You're supposed to keep an eye out for motorcycles (and your supposed to not run into/over them). You're supposed to not leave the scene of an accident you're involved in. You're supposed to move over and yield the right of way to emergency vehicles. You're supposed to put your kid in a car seat appropriate for their age. You're supposed to....
And yet, the doofusim, day after day after day, don't do any of these things -- often at the same time. Who, with an IQ above room temperature, could possibly believe that anybody who owns a shiny shiny Tesla is going to keep their hands on the wheel using their "Full Self-Driving" autopilot cruise control?
And for that matter, that they're not going to do any of the other brain-dead things on the above list, either?
While perhaps not very fashionable in the modern development world, CloudSEK recommends proper versioning replete with code reviews and approval.
Wow! The clear implication here is that all the K3wl Kidz don't use (or perhaps don't even know about) versioning and code reviews. If that is indeed true, then that explains the overall suck state of today's software (and especially the stuff spit out by "web programmers"!).
And I use the term "stuff" euphemistically...
NSO also claims the software can only be used "for the purpose of preventing and investigating terrorism and other serious crimes," [...]
For various values of "terrorism". I mean, in some folks1 minds, simply reporting the news is an act of terrorism, if not outright treason.

So managing leap seconds is hard, so FZuck it! we'll just not do it.
I seem to recall Indiana taking much the same tack at or around the turn of the (20th) century. That didn't end well, either.
Maybe if you stopped murdering journalists who are just doing their job and face reality, things might start going for the better ?
No, no, no, that would never do. You see, journalists have this annoying tendency to point out, in minute detail, that the Emperor has no clothes. And well, we can't have that, now can we?
Ewww!, now that's an image I can't un-see...
That said, due to the fact that it keeps getting abused, we should get something on the books that makes it clear that strong privacy rights are guaranteed to to private citizens and that government agencies and political figures need to held to a high standard of transparency.
Were you to do that, you'd put Google, Twatter, Faceplant, and all manner of Big Data analytics firms out of business.
Sounds like a plan!
"If your 'software folks' aren't involved heavily in designing all aspects of a CPU core and [system-on-chip], or the 'hardware folks' aren't involved in the firmware and higher-level software, something is wrong," he said in a thread that generated a lively discussion.
Well...Yes and no.
On the one hand, there are EE types that couldn't program their way out of a paper bag. And yet they are writing "commercial" firmware.
On the other hand, there is the legendary VAX, and VAX/VMS software; arguably the best example of what happens when EE and CS types work together to create something greater then the sum of the parts.
I don't claim to have a one-size-fits-all solution to this conundrum. Clearly, properly educated and trained engineers from both disciplines can produce VAXes, while those less educated and trained will produce 8048s.
... and Lord knows we don't need any more of them (either 8048s, or the "engineers" that created them)!
The ROI is ingratiating himself (again; more) with tRump, allowing the Orange-utan back on the megaphone so that he can FUD himself back into power. The Muskrat can then expect serial favors from he who would be our last president.
At least, that would be the plan...assuming of course that tRump is not serving time in Leavenworth by then.
[...] they're probably quietly shitting themselves over how it is possible to have an analytics business without running the risk of being the smoking gun that ends up getting women murdered in the name of "justice".
No, they're not.
If they're making money, they're not shitting anything. And besides, those self-same Neanderthals will quite likely mount an effective "four-corners" type defense of delay, obfuscation and legal (not to mention moral) shenanigans to insure those info brokers can stay in business profitably.
Thank you, sandwich.
Most everyone (fatasses specifically included) seem to forget that, as this is a consumer-oriented economy, potential consumers have to have disposable income to consume the various gadgets and geegaws that Amazon wants to foist on society. If a large swath of said society doesn't have sufficient disposable income, they ain't a-gonna be buying Amazon's (or anybody else's) wares.
