My suspicion is that people consume a zero calorie drink and think that allows them to consume something which is high in calories. (It may be as simple as ordering large fries instead of small.)

Microsoft has been spotted scanning for malware within password protected zip files stored on its cloud services. Maybe they should create a mascot, Rover. "He's sniffing your password protected files to make sure they aren't gangrenous."

password protected files

Thanks for the flashbacks. 🤬
I so don't miss the BS games we played at my last job to sneak executables and installers for beta software builds past our going and clients incoming mail filters. Policy on both sides meant we couldn't use any 3rd party file sharing sites and cripplingly slow bureaucracy meant the external sharepoint that was how we were supposed to share files was effectively unusable due to extreme delays in getting anything posted to it and getting the intended recipients access to download it after the fact.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

For a security researcher the author of the article I read seemed clueless, implying that Microsoft is cracking their passwords.
I suspect that they are looking at the length of the file and the CRC in the ZIP directory and comparing to known length and CRC of malware. The ZIP file has done the work for them.
|

|

That's IF the malware is a file per se, if it is included in another file (i.e. Office Macros, VBScript) the variance is way too wide to just compare the CRC (if even possible).
Or am I overseeing something?

Following in the wake of Elon Musk’s announcement that Twitter will start purging inactive accounts, Google has said that it will be doing the same for old Gmail accounts. I can't log into all those dummy email accounts I created anyway because you want a phone number. Have at it, hoss.

I wonder if they'll delete accounts that are only used by Android phones.

I'll tell you in a couple of weeks if the execute the menace.

Technical debt is easily the most used buzzword these days. People say, “We are moving fast on our MVP while minimizing technical debt!”. They mention technical debt in there to sound cool or something. This applies to most jobs? Doctors fixing people that just die.

|
|
Article is full of FUD and "look at me" garbage.
|
|
|
|
|

I hate it when buzzwords become popular because then the phrase becomes misused by people who don't know what it actually means.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

That's because they got technical debt.

Many Apple Silicon Macs still haven't made the jump from the M1 generation to the M2, and the Mac Pro is still using an Intel processor, but some app developers have already begun to see signs that Apple is testing members of the M3 chip family. "uh-huh. yea. ok. mmm-hmm. ok but how about support for at least 2 external screens?"

Google released the top-level domain .zip to the public recently, which means that interested organizations and users may register .zip domains. Cyber criminals are already using .zip domains in phishing campaigns. If you build it, they will come.

On the one hand... this
On the other hand... Microsoft ist "scanning for malware" zip files that are protected with passwords.
The *.zip is dead, God bless the *.rar

The CEO of OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT, told a Senate panel on Tuesday the use of artificial intelligence to interfere with election integrity is a "significant area of concern", adding that it needs regulation. We all know why we're here - in the last six months Sam Altman has created a sword with untold possibilites, and yet he insists it's a shield. He asks that we trust him as we cower behind it.

In the first three months of this year a third of the country's electricity came from wind farms, research from Imperial College London has shown. Welp, seeing as how wind not blowing and the sun not shining is a recent development, maybe you should join the research teams trying desperately to make sure those never happen again.

Hackers are actively exploiting a recently fixed vulnerability in the WordPress Advanced Custom Fields plugin roughly 24 hours after a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit was made public. If you use the WordPress Advanced Custom Fields plugin, heads up.

My recent feature on passkeys attracted significant interest, and a number of the 1,100-plus comments raised questions about how the passkey system actually works and if it can be trusted. In response, I've put together this list of frequently asked questions to dispel a few myths and shed some light on what we know—and don't know—about passkeys. If they're so safe and easy, why are there 100s of more comments on an article that essentially tries to quell those fears and questions?

No operating system is supported forever, and this is true of Windows 10. In fact, anyone using Windows 10 21H2 has just one month of servicing left. This is the end, my only friend, the end
