“Insider Ring - details here” on a random link. Nice to see Microsoft running PHP 🤣 somebody probably wants to dumpster dive windows-int.net

I gotta be honest, I kinda live for Elon Musk throwing a tantrum once a year and repeatedly moving his companies HQ to another part of America because he doesn't like a policy. Obviously, it sucks for the workers of said companies.

If orgs can’t be arsed typing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and instead type DEI, they’re being exclusionary and failing at the first hurdle. Not everybody talks in acronyms.

Interesting article about how Apple are essentially using its OS and App Store position to ‘sherlock’ app makers - which is the polite way of saying ‘steal from them’. https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/16/ios-18-could-sherlock-400m-in-app-revenue/

Glorious. Zoom are mandating staff return to the office twice a week. The Chief People Officer behind the policy explains why to media - and talks about how *they* work remotely. “I think I can manage people at Zoom effectively while working fully remotely,”

Question - has anybody had the [email protected] email breach notification *after* June 25th? I’m trying to find out if they’ve finished notification process, Microsoft won’t say. My Signal = GossiTheDog.1337

Thanks for the heart attack, Black Basta - turns out there's multiple companies called Atos.

I like the way the England Euros final is on ITV and BBC, with counter programming on Channel4: Titanic. So we can all turn over when it goes horribly wrong.

Whoever just tried to assassinate Trump pretty much just guaranteed his election victory.

The Independence Day sequel is on TV. How did this get greenlit? 🤣

“Rewrite with AI” makes me shudder every time I see it. It makes my skin crawl.

Lots of domains are being hijacked due to Google selling their domain business to SquareSpace - who didn’t transfer MFA details, so now a truck load of domain admins have no MFA on their accounts but details in infostealers. #threatintel

If you think the Microsoft Recall debacle was a bizarre moment of Microsoft high fiving itself for somebody nobody was going to buy (it was), Microsoft held a funeral for the iPhone for the Windows Phone 7 launch. It went on to lose $8bn over Windows Phone, after peaking at 2% market share.

So I went back and looked at this - one of the Snowflake execs placed a large sell order two days after the first Mandiant notification about customer breaches, before it was made public. https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/112597888371985584

I spent 7 days on calls about Microsoft breach this week and at one point opened Twitter to see a tweet from an MS person saying their breach was “overblown” by customers on social media. (They deleted the tweet, needless to say). A different view is a large amount of enterprise orgs found out […]

There’s no point having CSRB doing a report on AT&T. Snowflake is used by almost every large company (and because it has little friction). CISA needs to encourage Snowflake to do a better job. The US needs a proper data protection regulator, and to not be disfunctional.

Bloomberg are reporting Elon Musk has donated a significant amount of money to a super pac working to elect Trump. “…a major gambit by the world’s richest person to make his imprint on the US political landscape.”
