Infosec best practice: don't use any software.

You clearly haven't worked anywhere with large amount of typewritten PII/generally sensitive information in a locker outside the bathroom (because office space is expensive).

ID10T error

It finally happened that someone at work sent out an email that looked exactly like a phishing attempt. Whoever said that it’s fun to report them was spot on.

I got an email from a certain MAJOR firewall vendor regarding a 9.6/10 remote root shell vulnerability in their management servers that's about to be patched. I don't know who in their right loving minds would have that management server exposed to the outside world and not ACL'ed internally, but here we are.

Some of the examples are extremely egregious and obviously willful, for example:

vs
https://eccouncilcentral.blogspot.com/2021/04/what-are-wireless-attacks-how-to.html

It's literally high school "if I change one word per sentence it's not plagiarism" bullshit.

He also wasn't very healthy, and while he did post that he'd never commit suicide, I doubt the guy was mentally in a good state.

I don't think he's been in a mentally healthy state for at least a decade. This news comes in an hour or so after there was an extradition agreement as well. I'm not speculating but 1+1 seems to make sense.

He spent at least two decades hiding and making his own drugs in South American jungles because he was an insane pseudo-sovcit libertarian who thought taxes were illegal. During that time, he committed a murder, faked several heart attacks, faked a grand jury indictment, and finally ended up being arrested in Spain because he wasn't cognizant of their extradition treaty with the US.

Dude was *insane*.

Yeah I saw that too, and honestly it means little. People put to much stock in what he said, given he was an angry rear end in a top hat with a sketchy history, I suspect a hour of depression when you are already not doing well can change your mind quick.

much fun as riling people up about it is gonna be, the sad truth is that John McAfee was exactly the kind of guy who would claim he had no plans on suicide before he did so to gently caress with people

no one cares enough about him to murder him

Yup. There's nothing to gain from murdering the guy. And this sounds exactly like some poo poo he'd pull.

It was also the better part of a year ago. A lot can change in that time, especially given the court cases involved.

No poo poo, a friend of mine undergoing transition is seriously considering this before she's scheduled to get it whacked.
I mean, how many people get the opportunity to actually go gently caress themselves?
