I hate computer hackers

[helicon1]

Anybody have the AOL Instane messenger worm today? I clicked some link from a colleague and the whole program blew up. I hate computer hackers, why do they ruin it for everybody.

What a quaint memory...


Oh I know what I came here for...

update your iPhone...like NOW  (ios 14.4)

It’s not known who is actively exploiting the vulnerabilities, or who might have fallen victim. Apple did not say if the attack was targeted against a small subset of users or if it was a wider attack.


and I guess in news for the good guysInternational police effort takes down 'world's most dangerous' malware network


Wow... this headline

UPS, Amazon, AWS, Delta, Costco, and on and on
salesforce, PlayStation...

Looks like Akamai Edge DNS service is in bad shape...not sure if it's self-inflicted or an attack

^ major headache for us this morning: working-at-home devs can't log into their remote machines at HQ because they use a remote access platform that requires DNS... so they're dead in the water until this is resolved.

Just recently I saw an ep of The $6M Dollar Man where the bad guys were able to track him within seconds if he so much as talked on a payphone, then making the phone blow up (but not before he escaped, of course). Such an old sci-fi trope. Why can't we do that now to the cyberkidnappers?

and Kaseya paid the ransom...only means more of this crap

I've been in the MSP/IT support world for decades and simlar to the solar winds hack...is really making it hard for MSPs...even though it's not their fault, but the vendor's lax policies

I'd update your iphone and other apple ios devices today
