this speaks to something that i have grown increasingly frustrated about. employees not only dont care about cyber security, they dont care about the ramifications of an intrusion.
a couple weeks ago I had to handle two separate investigations in the same day where users got phished and their email was compromised. Both users ended up sending about a thousand phishing emails each. one of them sent many of the emails internally, causing two other email accounts to also become compromised.
I spoke with both users during my post intrusion investigation and BOTH OF THEM KNEW THEY HAD BEEN HACKED AND DIDNT CARE.
both users had attempted to access a document in a phishing mail, given up their password, and after contacting the sender were told "sorry dude i got hacked that was a malicious email sent from my account."
they didnt notify me or anyone else of the issue. they didnt care. when i told them their actions caused a thousand or so malicious emails to be sent out the response was "huh, wow". when i told them that the TA also got access to the companies onedrive/sharepoint files the response was "okay"
i understand the temptation to read this and say "lol based anti-wagie employee" but the problem is that if you let people like this fester in a company they become a serious liability that can lead to a massive breach such as ransomware and if youre not properly backing up and protecting your files you can literally cause the entire company go under and now no one is getting income to pay for their homes. also i dont want scammers to get money they dont deserve.

if you are a business owner, you seriously need to start punishing employees for getting owned. im not saying you should fire people for failing a phishing test, but you should be telling them "you have to do mandatory remedial training and this will go on your employee record."

my current personal laptop is from 2014 come on man i hate consumerism so much
to be fair my 12 year old laptop only works because it does not run windows.

i wonder if anyone has written malware for templeos

critical microslop 365 business outage
no one can send or receive emails right now

MAIL SERVERS THAT DO NOT WORK: every single mail server owned by microslop (proprietary software)
MAIL SERVERS THAT DO WORK: mine. the one built by a moron who can barely adhere to RFC5321 (ms mail servers are not compliant with RFC5321). (free software hosted on a random vps)

>someone emails me an ics calendar invite
>get the email in outlook classic, open the attachment so that i can save the appointment to my calendar
>instead of opening up in outlook classic, the program that i am using right now, it tries to open "modern" (webapp) outlook.
i think MS devs and leadership should be put to a tribunal and dumped in a mass grave afterwards.

it should be illegal to change the terms of a contract without bilateral consent
thats kind of the point of a contract in the first place.

teampeak has finally, after years upon years of development, released the server software for teamspeak6
one of the first things i noticed was that there is an absolute max cap of 32 users per server and for that reason alone this is completely dead on arrival. I can understand having max cap for hosted servers to control bandwidth but to enforce max cap on a server which I own, which teamspeak pays ZERO DOLLARS FOR is completely unreasonable.
dead dove. honestly im surprised theyre still around let alone making major releases because their business model is completely abysmal.
"lets allow people to use the software in a way that is completely free for us and costs money for them and then make them pay more money."
its like they dont know that discord is free and has no server cap.

here's what i've found so far regarding discord replacements:
stoat.chat: they are reverse engineering the discord api with the goal that you can use discord bots on stoat without having to change any of the code. you can self host your own server and make your own instances or make an instance on their server. the maintainers are extremely woke and when looking at the instance browser its all mostly lefty stuff. i dont say that because i think it should be avoided for political reasons, but instead because i expect a federation split in the future like with mastodon and fediverse.

rootapp: discord clone that has a lot of features and plugins for raid planning in MMOs no server software available so you'll be at their mercy when changes are made or pricing is introduced. i expect them to act exactly like discord when they get bigger (stripping features and putting them behind paywalls, banning speech they dont like, etc.)
