I worked at a place where they sometimes sent phishing emails to see what people did. They also had mandatory annual training on e-risks, which wasn't in fact too painful.

The fun arose when the company employed third-party service providers that required employees to respond to an external email (infrequent but it did happen). Inevitably there had to be a certain amount of internal comms to let people know that this external email was in fact safe to respond to.
They also don't serve a lot of regions and still bait you into creating a profile...
This article is more of an opinion piece. Would be interested in evidence.

It seems logical to me that self phishing is a good way to educate on how to spot phishing/unusual emails, and to realize they are a target

I understand why card companies struggle to implement this while retaining good relations with merchants, but this does seem an opportunity for Stripe or similar.

You can "log into" a London TFL "account" that is effectively just your credit/debit card. That means that, at least in theory, Stripe could let you log in to a "shadow" account as a card holder.

I think the problem is that Stripe (and others) don't want to upset merchants by making it possible for people to cancel "fixed term" subscriptions, where the merchant claims the customer has entered a contract to pay for X months.

Agreed entirely though - I would really like to see privacy.com style "limited authentication value/merchant card numbers" take off more and become a "default". This has added privacy benefits too, as it means for anyone other than the CC issuer, it will become very difficult to link digital transactions.

This sounds like a good and sensible step. It is a shame it has been pushed back due to Covid, as this is really not a particularly onerous requirement.

If fighting with the compiler is necessary for learning, I think that would men lots of users would drop out, not “eventually learn”.

That’s why lots of work has been done and still is being done to make that “work with the compiler’s help”.

The thing is: in _any_ programming language, whenever you pass anything mutable to another function, you have to think about ownership.

For the sake of reliability, rust makes that explicit, where other languages such as C and Java assume the programmers know what they are doing. To not make that too tedious for the programmer, rust also infers quite a few rules.

Rust is getting better on both fronts. Its ability to infer ownership grows, and it gets better at reporting problems it can’t solve on its own.
Shame that corporate responsibility is out the window now then.

You can't do anything on the Amazon store without being goaded into signing up for Prime and having to triple check what you are clicking on during checkout to make sure you don't sign up by mistake.

My wife already has a Netflix subscription despite Amazon's attempts to hook her on Prime (I'll take credit for stopping that). After this this news it seems it was definitely the correct choice.
I read once that for Netflix, these users were not seen as "easy money" but as a genuine problem, because that's revenue they can't count on to last.

Their action both removes a problem on their side and is good for customers. Win-win. So probably not entirely altruistic (nothing is), but at least partly.

Products like the Quest are crossing the threshold to where it's affordable, completely self-contained and high quality enough to provide a great true VR experience. They need to about halve the cost while maintaining quality and if they can do that then there is no reason why this shouldn't explode into the market place.

It's important to note the nature of the failure.

Opening a phishing email should not be considered a failure. The email client is specifically designed to be able to display untrusted mail.

Even clicking a hyperlink in a phishing email isn't too bad - web browsers are designed to be able to load untrusted content from the internet safely.

It's only entering credentials by hand into a phishing website, or downloading and executing something from a phishing site that is a real failure.

IT departments should probably enforce single sign on and use a password alert to prevent a password being typed into a webpage. They should also prevent downloads of executable files from non-whitelisted origins for most staff.

Phishing emails often look pretty obvious - that’s part of the program! It filters out people you can’t trick and leaves you only with the most gullible ones.

Firstly, sorry to hear about your backup woes. There's nothing worse than losing data.

Three tricks that have worked for me:

1) Reduce the resistance in your brain to making backups

Easy wins can be made here without changing anything. Keep the external drive ready to go on your desk at any time, have it start backing up as soon as you plug it in, etc. Reduce the dissonance you feel in your brain to making backups regularly.

2) Automate it as much as possible

Take the resistance entirely out of the equation by automating it. For example, in your case you might want to try plugging the external drive into an always-on raspberry PI, and use Syncthing to constantly send your files there.

3) Have a process that keeps you accountable

You need something to make you feel guilty for not having backups, that overpowers the resistance in your brain with shame! Even a recurring calendar entry can work well.

I've taken it a step further by writing software to solve this very problem. I've seen and heard about way too many backup failures in my short career, and determined to help bring good backup practices to more people. Check out the idea at https://backupshq.com - we'll be launching privately soon and always interested in feedback on the idea.
The script and Dockerfile I use are pretty long, but they set up everything needed to map in the most common stuff like ssh and aws creds, ptrace, sudo support, uid/gid runtime mapping, etc.

Once you start developing your shared repos from a container, you realize that it's much easier to automate running things from it than to develop inside of it, so it's actually easier to get people to build CI/CD pipelines now where before they'd wait for someone else to do it for them.

And the only problem there is there's no easy + good + free self-hosted CI/CD software out there. Yes, you probably use X just fine, but X probably doesn't scale, or isn't enterprise compatible, etc. The biggest barrier to automation is both a business problem and a technical problem.

Neat!

What I really wish for is integration, or at least discovery.

I run into posts like this all the time, see neat things, and then can never find them again.

I like all-in-one libraries like pylab/matplotlib where I know where to look. The corollary is that if this could be folded into something, it'd probably see more use. But I'm not sure what.

Or perhaps an alternative might be to have all libraries like this categorized in some way. I'm not quite sure how, though.
> It'd be hard to convince me that they did it because they're nice, they have share holders who are not interested in that stuff.

100%. It might have something to do with wanting more clear/precise analytics numbers. Non-active members might weigh down certain metrics in some way, so removing these members likely allows for 'fuller' analytics/measurements, which is important to their core business. Netflix is now also a very active producer of content itself, instead of it's previous business model of licensing/'renting out' others' content, so clearer and probably higher engagement metrics (once non-active memberships are removed) helps one of it's core competences.

It's purely a business move. Their blog post is PR.
I do! This doesn't make sense to me. I have a Galaxy Note 12.2, and it's great, but bigger would be better (it's not quite A4). I also have a 12"×9" Wacom Intuos, 12" Surface Pro, 15" Surface Book 2 from work. All of those would be even better bigger (but the work laptop wouldn't fit in my backpack any more). I have a small Wacom tablet too, and it's too small to be very useful.

> Hunt said GitLab has implemented multi-factor authentication and that would have protected employees had the attack not been a simulation.

"Protected employees" is a weird way to put it to say the least. It's not about protecting employees, it's about protecting gitlab company and their customers. And the protection would have failed. The attacker would have needed to use the credentials (including the one-time credential) in real-time. That makes the attack-site logic a bit more difficult, but it would have allowed to break in. I doubt gitlab employees have to reauthenticate very often during a working day.

Well, unless they really use a challenge response system. At least what I use as a gitlab customer is not, it's just standard OTP. I would provide a valid one time password to a phishing site, should I fall for it.

> Stack Overflow has public profiles. Hacker Rank has public profile. AngelList has public profiles. Even HN has public profiles.

Come on now, these examples are not even remotely similar to what you are doing here.

Firstly, it's up to me whether or not I even create a profile on those sites.

Secondly, if I choose to create a profile, I have full control over what is shown publicly.

What you are doing here is making information public whether I like it or not. This is not OK, and you trying to defend it here is mind boggling, and demonstrates clearly what little regards you have for privacy. I for one will now never have anything to do with TripleByte.

> The email client is specifically designed to be able to display untrusted mail.

Email clients often do things like load images, which can tell the sender you've read the email, which is an information leak.

Some email clients try not to do this, but that's actually somewhat recent, and I wouldn't say they're 'specifically designed to be able to display untrusted mail', rather 'they try to avoid common exploits when they become known'.
