Previous place I lived my ISP was so low on IPv4 that it wasn't one IPv4 per customer - the entire building was CGNed behind a single IPv4. There was port isolation, so I just skipped bothering with any NAT locally and just bridged my AP to the WAN link and everything just got an internal IP from the ISP's DHCP server. A year or so later, they got acquired by Google and had a whole bunch of IPv4 space available, and suddenly my lightswitches were on the public internet.

👋​ On this week's episode of the Shared Security Show with hosts @agent0x0, @scottwright, and @secureideas:

🚨​ The attacks on password managers and their users continue as Bitwarden and 1Password users have reported seeing paid ads for phishing sites in Google search results for the official login page of the password management vendors.
