Turtle ?
You must be American. You not realise that turtles have flippers and live in the sea. The only time they crawl is when they hatch and run to the sea, and try not to get eaten, or when they need to lay their eggs on a beach.
Tortoises, on the other hand, have legs, and crawl on land. They also can't swim.
People who so "The story of the turtle and the rabbit" are morons. It's "The tortoise and the hare"
Kaspersky cracks Yanluowang ransomware, offers free decryptor

Re: As Kaspersky has been deemed persona non grata in the USA
I use Kaspersky (I paid for it so it's not going anywhere until it's license runs out) but I also use Malwarebytes professional (which also isn't going anywhere until it's license runs out).
If you think Kaspersky is in cahoots with Putin or the Russian state you're a deluded idiot.

Namecheap hosted 25%+ of fake UK govt phishing sites last year – NCSC report

Namecheap
NameCheap are a domain registrar, and are not hosting the actual phishing/malware sites.
The actual phishing/malware sites are probably some shmuck who has set up a Wordpress site and not secured it, then been hacked.
Yes, NameCheap shouldn't be allowing anyone and their dog to register look-alike domains but with the volume they process it's no wonder they can't stamp it all out.
They are also guilty of assisting spammers who register thousands of domains, then point them at a hand full of hosted IP addresses.
This is how NameCheap get away with 'not being responsible' for content - they aren't hosting it.
UK's National Cyber Security Centre recommends password generation idea suggested by El Reg commenter

Another method
I went about it a different way.
Register a domain (yourname.co.uk)
This way you can redirect any emails to your domain and easily track spam.
Example you can now have tesco@yourname.co.uk, asda@yourname.co.uk, theregister@yourname.co.uk etc.
and, each email address you register with the web site can have a unique password, Tesco could be P@ssw0rdt3s, Asda could be P@ssw0rd4sd, etc.
Also, I'd rather use something like Keepass than a browser password plugin. More secure.
