hi yeah I’ll have a Big Mac meal and a mcchicken also i definitely want to be approached by someone in a public space in los angeles or san francisco. this probably won’t be a tedious interaction with a nutjob crying sadbrain marxist, guy from calpirg telling me to buy organic and save the planet, free sample of the ramayana or whatever only it’s just a sample it really costs 30 dollars, wants my pocket change to get beack to berkeley because he or she can’t walk the mile from the asby bart back to downtown berkeley. this person probalby doesn’t smell like a garbage pail. this person probably isn’t going to stab me, rifle through my pockets, and take my crumpled up tea bag from trader joe’s brand tea and a couple quarters. this person isn’t probably going to interupt my few blessed seconds on silence away from the constant onslaught of abject, depressing stupidity which is constantly beamed at and solely directed at me by a malicious, malevolent god and his obese, perverse, and sadistic minions (other people). this complete stranger approaching me in a public space in the cities of los angeles or san francisco will probably lead to a life long friendship. anyway what do you want for lunch

abigserve posted:We get those as well. The most sophisticated actors will either buy a compromised email server or try to first compromise a legitimate-but-poorly-run business and then use it as jumping off point. We had a office supply invoice that looked identical to a real one, except it was for chairs that never existed. But this is apparently way too much work for most and it's equally as effective to send a wide lovely net the most interesting phishing we've ever got is someone who poorly spoofed an email from the CEO (the from was "CEO Name <worlds-best-grandma-1234@sbcglobal.net>" or something like that) that just said like "pls send me all the social security numbers its important" and nobody fell for it, i almost wish we got interesting ones like a Real Company just for the fun of seeing how it's really done Methanar posted:I went to NYC once and being an idiot tourist from the middle of nowhere this poo poo caught me off guard. the only time i've run in to the CD thing was in atlanta as a kid, my dad is an enormously easy mark so of course he bought the friendly young man's up and coming new rap CD to help him get his name out there thinking about it now i bet the dude saw my dad (who was wearing his favorite fanny pack because dad) and went "oh hey look it's risk-free money"

actually that kinda ties back in to this thread because my dad has fallen for a ton of different scams (since he's an engineer so he's of course way too confident that he's Very Smart) so now whenever someone posts an innovative new fraud method in this thread I call my parents and tell them about it so he doesn't get duped, so thanks thread

Last Chance posted:bofa deez nuts? No, someone calls pretending to be the Bank of America fraud department and asks you to verify your identity. As the last step, they actually attempt to log into your account, causing the 2FA to be sent to your phone, and tell you that they just sent a security token and need you to read it to them.

I have seen not one, not two, but three separate people accidentally type the same private password into chat rooms over the decades Three people, three different companies. All chose the same password: sl@yer666 I'll bet the NSA has all sorts of interesting data correlating passwords with demographics and geography. "sl@yer666" must have like a .92 correlation with white trash areas, but if you study passwords of people in like, Seattle, they are all probably some poo poo like "ANIMELOVER420XXXSEPHIROTH" Pryor on Fire fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Apr 6, 2019 |

i got my passport yesterday and had to make a login.gov account... it was not the worst? they make you set up 2FA with the options being sms/text, an authentication app, some other one, or a hardware key. then they display a 16 character private key and tell you to write it down or print it out so that you can regain control over your account if you forgot your password and hosed up your 2FA.

Has anyone else heard someone pronounce it as “Too-fah” (as in the sponge)? I recently did and it was  as gently caress.E: Versus the obviously correct “Two-eff-ay”. E2: and god help you if I don’t hear a correctly formed w in the “two”!

We had some rogue traffic trying to reach a server in the Czech republic on port 6000, we thought it was in a pool behind an F5. Turns out it was the F5 itself.
