  • My Dog, "hackers hacking a hack".

    Can we please stop using the word "hacker" when we mean "cybercriminals", "attackers", "malicious agents"? We have plenty better terms. Like... "cybercriminals", "attackers", "malicious agents": https://rys.io/en/155.html

    I mean, I get the need for clickbaity titles and all, but surely we can do better.

  • so... a bunch of twilio employees had (and still have) exactly the capability that the attackers gained with this phishing attack. As do employees of Signal, Amazon, and various telecom companies, not to mention governments.

    "Secure messenger" and "requires a telephone number" are not compatible concepts.
