Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

I'm tired of reading about "sophisticated actors" who just asked for and were given the admin password. Has anyone produced a classification scheme to rate threat actors *and* the tactics they used?

"Sure it was a Class 1 threat actor, but they just used a Class 4 attack vector".

Links welcome!

Gather round kids. In my day we used to have to wait until the Super Bowl aired to see the Super Bowl commercials. That's why there were called Super Bowl commercials. Then we'd talk about them the next day, at work, in person.

Hear me out: I make a Linux command Wrapped for the end of 2025.

You give me access to .bashistory and I'll tell you about your commonly used commands. I'll make it really fun with pictures of Hackers and techno.

Pay no attention to me secretly scrape leaked credentials, API keys & other secrets.

That's Apple offering up several hours of profit for years of spying and lying.

Apple users may get $20 each for up to five Siri-enabled devices.
