And it’s always the people you think it’s going to be.

The thing is, in my org it's not; they get people from every team on the reg. One of the senior admins (OS admins, not office admins) on my team has gotten hit because our infosec team is mean and will send out emails from 'hr' when he is sending them too. They've almost gotten me a couple of times, and I'm basically the liaison to their team from mine.

My cito was laughing about it the other day because his name gets dragged through the dirt when it's his 2nd who does shit like send that stuff to new hires an hour after they start day one. Tends to keep people in their toes.

Only if their supporters cared about facts. Considering we're talking about MAGAs/republicans, it's safe to assume the truth is immaterial to their talking points.

What is their reasoning?

Edit: he just shaved himself, that simple apparently. Seems too obvious in hindsight...

Social engineering is an attack older than computers and will always be the biggest vulnerability in any organization. Training helps, but there's always going to be someone that fucks up and clicks the thing they shouldn't.

Don't feel too bad, I saw the song live once and could hear the plinks too

but also a big part of the population wants revenge because the Chinese can’t keep their lab viruses contained and killed grandma with covid, quite a spicy meatball there.

A shockingly large portion of the population is dumb and refuses to listen to reality, so it's no surprise they believe in a big bad ruining their 2020s and killing grandma rather than just dumb bad luck with a new virus.

Let's also not forget that we also had a large amount of people who refused to do basic COVID prevention techniques like masking, so I'm betting the venn diagram here is pretty close to a circle...

The menace imposed by sending gestapo to hunt thanksgiving parties of all things.

I'm also afraid of things that never happened

It kinda does though, if you look at it from a speed/competency aspect. I'm more and more convinced that the people who build out features only have tangential ideas on how it integrates into the overall system, so just throwing a browser at every problem gets you a cookie cutter backend with APIs and let's you shove half baked features out the door without having to figure out how to wrap data in protocols since you just hand your payload so the browser and wait for a response.

I'm so glad my boss and team have a working knowledge of migraines, because it's super nice to tell them I have to drop because of the pain or nausea from a migraine and they're totally cool with it.

Just because its useful once or twice a year doesn't mean it isn't crazy.
