Thank God my organisation can't afford Crowdstrike.

This is a real shit show. Enterprise IT departments are operating by fear these days all in the holy name of "security". Can't get hacked if my systems are unavailable - am I doing it right?

The CEO of Crowdstrike, George Kurtz, was the CTO of McAfee back in 2010 when it sent out a bad update and caused similar issues worldwide. If at first you don't succeed, ....

Critical infrastructure receiving OTA updates from third parties - what can go wrong?

This is the future of warfare. State actors can just focus on targeting widely deployed “security systems” that will bring down whole economies and bring as much death and financial damage as a missile, while denying any involvement…

Considering PR review is usually done within the development team, a state actor can simply insert a manager, a couple of senior developers and maybe a couple of junior developers into a large team to do the job. Push something in Friday so few people bother to check, gets approved by another implant and here you go.

Has anyone got experience writing Resume or Cover Letter with ChatGpt?
I've been using chatgpt a bit for the past week as customizing resumes really draining . I have not sent it yet and want to make sure that i don't get caught.

Any particular security system is not more widely deployed than any other utility/software. For a potential attacker it'll be easier and more potent with other utilities tbh. And it's already happening, like the XZ attack for example. It's a lot more difficult to put multiple plants in a large enterprise though.

The XZ attack was like the attempted Trump assassination of security breaches. I don't think 99% of the people who use computers appreciate this.

So I'm out fishing with my Grandpa and Dad a few days ago. My Grandfather is reeling in a striped bass and once it's about 100 feet from the boat it starts jumping out of the water. Usually that's a bluefish thing but sure, why not. Suddenly a seal comes out of the water and grabs it in its mouth. You could only see it's head, but I thought it was a shark at first, this guy is big. A few seconds later it submerged, swims maybe 200 feet away, then reemerges again with the fish in its mouth and just stares at us, before disappearing.

We keep fishing and catch a few bonito/false albacore (don't know for sure, never caught them before) and striped bass. Then my Dad is reeling in another striped bass and gets it right to the boat, my Grandpa has the net in his hand trying to get the fish. The seal AGAIN comes and starts going for the fish. It's close enough to touch, now we can actually see it. This guy is like 6-7 feet long and still so quick darting back and forth, even hitting the boat a few times while my Grandfather tries to hit it with the net :lol:. Eventually, of course, the seal wins and does the same thing where it swims away, surfaces, and stares at us with the fish in its mouth. Never seen anything like this before in my life.

Firstly, this for sure has to be the same seal that knows how to get an easy meal, hopefully it's smart enough to avoid the head where the lure is. I also take this to mean that it's smart enough to be selective, as it only went for the striped bass and seemed to ignore the bonito. But above all and most importantly, I want those damn fish back.

Good story. Seals are very clever, I always think they are just water dogs. They definitely have preferred food as well. And that makes sense, to me at least, as bass is a classic eating fish but bonito is more oily, stronger, bit of an acquired taste (tastes like strong mackerel to me). This is a smart seal. The other thing I'd say is that bonito are a fast fish that the seal is going to have more trouble catching naturally, so it might usually eat bass more and have a taste for it.
