Many GitHub users this week received a novel phishing email warning of critical security holes in their code. Those who clicked the link for details were asked to distinguish themselves from bots by pressing a combination of keyboard keys that causes Microsoft Windows to download password-stealing malware. While it’s unlikely that many programmers fell for this scam, it’s notable because less targeted versions of it are likely to be far more successful against the average Windows use
Wow. It seems they all exploded simultaneously, which means they were triggered. Were they each tampered with physically, or did someone figure out how to trigger a thermal runaway remotely? Supply chain attack? Malicious code update, or natural vulnerability? I have no idea, but I expect we will all learn over the next few days. EDITED TO ADD: I’m reading nine killed and 2,800 injured.
I was in my mid-30s before I felt comfortable standing up in front of an audience and talking about technology. Come to think of it, "comfortable" isn't really the right word, as, frankly, it was nerve-racking. This, with my obvious bias as her father, makes it all the more remarkable that Elle was able to do it at NDC Oslo when she was just 11 years old.

This is really interesting. It’s a phishing attack targeting GitHub users, tricking them to solve a fake Captcha that actually runs a script that is copied to the command line. Clever.
Today was all about this whole idea of how we index and track data breaches. Not as HIBP, but rather as an industry; we simply don't have a canonical reference of breaches and their associated attributes. When they happened, how many people were impacted, any press on the incident, the official disclosure messaging and so on and so forth. As someone in the video today said, "what about the Airtel data breach?
