This month news broke about a hacker group, namely Blue Mockingbird, exploiting a critical vulnerability in Microsoft IIS servers to plant Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency miners on compromised machines. And they say you can't make money hosting on IIS

Quote: ... a critical vulnerability in Microsoft IIS servers ...
... is an untrusted deserialization vulnerability within the proprietary Progress Telerik UI (for ASP.NET AJAX) library ...
I guess "vulnerability in a third-party library" doesn't sound scary enough for their clickbait.

Perhaps they were looking for the word 'compendium', even though it isn't great in this context either? Unless they all fit in that pickle jar.

That's just idiotic. Imagine that same irate tech guy taking his car in to get service. Is the mechanic thinking all the same things?
Seriously, how come IT people don't seem to understand that just because they know a lot about computers doesn't mean everyone understands them and that they probably do not know much about other topics (except Star Trek maybe.) IT people can be so stupid.

Officials had to chase a six foot alligator away from the historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday Are we sure it wasn't a Gorn spy?
Give him the old two-fisted punch maneuver!

They should be glad it was only a six foot alligator... It might have been a 1 letter bug in the firmware

Google has announced a partnership with the Cybercrime Support Network to help people identify and stop scammers that might be out to get their money, with a website called Scam Spotter. I'm a little skeptical of it though

And I suppose it will cost nothing (not even your data), won't it?

It builds trust in Google and gets rid of the competition that isn't smart or powerful enough to steal your data "legally". So even if they didn't harvest your data on that site they could still profit.
Although, they probably would throw their trackers in for good measure

Behind Rust, Microsoft's TypeScript extension of JavaScript has overtaken Python in the most-loved language stakes. Just in case you need to know what to like and hate

Typescript isn't a language. It's a framework around javascript.

And thus begins one of Code Projects saddest annual traditions. Linking to articles that cherry pick 4 or 5 random datapoints out of the results of StackOverflow's yearly survey because they can't deny it's newsworthiness; but don't want to directly link to it.
(I really need to make a giant version of that one of these days.)
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?

Understood. I'll skip it next year to avoid offending either of you.

This one gets my continued ire because managements attempt to have its cake and eat it too with the SO Dev Survey.
If they decide it was newsworthy enough to link to the survey results directly despite SO being a competing platform to QA and the programming forums; I'd be impressed that they finally decided to take the high ground and do what's best for Insider readers. (And at this point it's not like more than a handful have been living under a big enough rockpile not to know that SO exists.)
Alternately, if they chose to adopt an official policy of pretending SO doesn't exist and completely ignored the SO Dev survey, and all the craptastic clickbait churned out by other sites writing about it I wouldn't say a word. (Roll my eyes in private, certainly, but not say anything.)
Instead what they're doing just makes them look sad and a little bit silly; and I will continue to express my dismay when they repeat the current process every year.
