This New Microsoft 365 Attack Can Break Through Your 2FA

The Rockstar 2FA phishing kit is a unique set of malicious tools that cybercriminals can purchase on the black market for $200. This kit gives the criminals everything they need to break into someone’s Microsoft 365 account, even if they have 2FA enabled.

I had to learn the hard way 2FA isn’t impenetrable. It’s always a good idea to use a password manager with obnoxiously long and unique random generated passwords. Never click on a link anywhere unless you’re 100% sure it’s legit. Anyone can fall for a phishing scam.

Biden’s Unpardonable Hypocrisy

The president vowed not to pardon his son Hunter—and then did so anyway.

What a stupid article from The Atlantic.

A willingness to evade the rule of law is the foundation of Donald Trump’s entire career in business and politics, not a nepotistic exception…Biden chose to prioritize his own feelings over the defense of his country.

What’s the point of this article? The rule of law obviously means fuck all now. Half of Trump’s cabinet are rapists… Trump himself is a fucking felon, 34 times over but he’s still about to be sworn in as president.

What Breaking Up Google’s Search Monopoly Could Do to AI

Making it harder for Google to give its own products preferential treatment might not actually drive people away from the company’s search engine–but it could make them second-guess Gemini.

Good! Gemini is still terrible. The fact that Google already has that “sprawling ecosystem and user base” means that they can slap it on all of their hardware and suddenly they look like a legit AI company with as many users as anyone else.

Small scale is the best scale – Manu

I can’t help myself thinking that I’m getting to the point where the bigger you are the more unappealing you become to my eyes.

And that’s true not just for social media platforms but for creators and personalities in general. I’m an absolute nobody in this world. My blog’s not famous, my work doesn’t spread around. And that’s a good thing. Because it means I can still do the things that matter and that is taking the time to interact with every single person that gets in touch with me.

I’ve been feeling this a lot lately too. You can have 1000+ followers somewhere and 99% of your interaction is Likes and Reblogs with little meaningful conversation, if any.

Or you can have five followers and make five legitimate friends.

Or maybe you have no idea how many followers you have, or how many people like your posts because you’re on something like Micro.blog. That’s been the most rewarding and engaging community I’ve ever found online, and it does it without internet points. Small indie web communities are where it’s at <3

What a fun spin on late stage capitalism!

Mark Zuckerberg meets Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago

“Mark was grateful for the invitation to join President Trump for dinner and the opportunity to meet with members of his team about the incoming Administration.”

Well I guess the foreseeable future was about two months, eh?

After facing significant backlash over the past few years, Zuckerberg has chosen to distance both himself and Meta from political involvement for the foreseeable future. - via ColumbiaOne, September 26, 2024
