When they say no-one is safe, here is the evidence 🙄
We are all vulnerable to phishing, even @troyhunt has been caught! If it can happen to Troy, it can happen to us all. Each and every one of us.
“…the penny has just dropped that a Mailchimp phish has grabbed my credentials, logged into my account and exported the mailing list for this blog. I'm deliberately keeping this post very succinct to ensure the message goes out to my impacted subscribers ASAP, then I'll update the post with more details.“

I've started to think about the, y'know, all of this on a spectrum ranging from "too big to handle," to "too small to matter." I'm also thinking about the size of an issue against one's ability to make a difference.
There's a sweet spot where the work is worthwhile.
Small problems outside your control matter little. The big ones outside your ability to impact can be paralyzing—most of us can't stop DOGE from entering buildings, for example, no matter how outraged we are. The small ones you can impact tend to be easy, but they can deceive you into an outsized impression of your impact. And then there are the big ones you can impact. That's the worthwhile zone to live in. The trick is, this zone is uncomfortable, and almost always requires you to work with others—even others you don't entirely agree with.
The adversary is hoping you never make it to that zone. If enough of us do, the tide turns.

Welcome to GIMP 3.0!
NASA's New Horizons mission flew past Pluto and later the Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth. It still has enough propellant in the tanks to make more flybys, but it has no viable targets. Fortunately, the mighty Vera Rubin Observatory is online and can soon search the sky for targets. Researchers have proposed to use the observatory with 30 hours of telescope time to carefully examine New Horizons' location in the Kuiper Belt to find more flyby opportunities.
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
It is now *seven* years since #Microsoft started shipping #curl as part of the Windows operating system.
