Ok CBS confirmed this as legit: https://theintercept.com/2017/06/05/top-secret-nsa-report-details-russian-hacking-effort-days-before-2016-election/ NSA docs detailing the state level russian attacks on our election systems in the days leading up to the election last year. No details on how many were successful nor how deep any got, but targeted emails of a shitton of candidates plus direct assaults on various election systems.

Woah, if the intercept is running that then it's probably serious cause they were saying "Don't blame Russia without proof!!!" the whole time while everyone else was already pointing fingers. We all know it was them, but it's really really nice to have actual proof.

That's why I went conspiracy thread with it first, but then I saw CBS confirm it. Lou Takki posted:Should be noted, this is detailing one specific attack. There are likely others this report doesn't cover and ones we may not know about This times 1 million. I think my favorite joke so far was "wonder if Trump's 3 million illegal cast votes was just projecting"

Are phishing scams super hard to detect now or something? They still point to a website that isn't actually google/apple/whatever, so are people just not checking these things when they work in really secure places?

I read this book when I was like 16-17 so maybe that's why I double check stuff all the time and never ever trust having to enter my password unless I know its supposed to promt.

95% of phishing attempts are really obvious if you're even the slightest bit wary but occasionally there are some incredibly deceptive ones. The only way to be safe is to basically never trust an email unless you're expecting it. /\/\/\ and yeah use a password generator/manager.

I have a fairly simple system to customize my passwords to every service or website that some IT goofball once showed me. You come up with a base-password that you modify by any number of criteria you choose, dependant on the service you're logging into, it's name, length of name, type of domain, number of loving vowels in it, all of which can trigger inclusion of different effects. Like, a basic version would be to add the first and last letter of the service name, add a y or n if it's longer or shorter than x characters, or alternate capitalization if there's more than two vowels in there, etc. Make up a "recipe" that you can remember easily and there you are. Don't write it down or save it, like my dad does.

Writing the password down in a notebook that's kept securely near the computer is better than reusing the same weak passwords. If someone gets physical access to the computer, you're probably hosed anyway.

The bulk are still dumb and obvious as poo poo, but nation-state actors and serious criminals can pair them with DNS hijacking, stolen certificates, and other techniques to make it difficult to detect when a website is not legitimate.

About two weeks ago was a very legit looking Gmail scam that went out where users got sent an email from a coworker or someone they knew inviting them to share a Google Drive doc. I drat near fell for it myself. The email came from the girl who sits next to me at work. We share docs all the time. I didn't even think twice up until the prompt said that clicking OK would give the Drive owner permission to my email account.

The Intercept probably blew the source when the reporter(s) checked with ANOTHER contractor to confirm the document's veracity and literally gave them full pictures of the document, plus the intelligence report number. There's some bullshit in there about the documents being creased, but it looks like Contractor #2 went to the government, then the government person blew it up. https://twitter.com/max_read/status/871862790113419264 And I swear, this Comey thing could turn out to be overhyped and become a nothingburger, but gently caress it will be good television. https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/871864020155990017

Her whole everything is confusing. Wiki leaks fan, intercept fan, and she leaks anti-russian stuff? Maybe this is supposed to be a "this is all they have, no proof" kind of thing. Or maybe she was confused and the intercept reporter forgot who they work for.
