Hello friends, I've seen the below image come up a few times elsewhere and am going to expound a little! While the hyperlinks in the image display correctly, those aren't actually the addresses of those sites! Instead, they're the Internationalized Domain Name replacements - examples of what are called IDN Homograph Attacks.It's incredibly hard to include all characters from all active alphabets in the mechanisms that resolve domain names - so currently that letter set is restricted, and instead uses a translation system called Punycode to move between a visual URL with the correct characters and a domain name your computer can actually resolve to a website. So while neurovagrant[.]com is fine either way, nӘ̃urovagrant[.]com isn't! The actually domain would be xn--nurovagrant-rkg322d[.]com.Notice that xn-- ! That's what tells browsers and other software that it's an IDN domain, and to try and translate it.Attackers use this to their benefit. So:xn--mcrosoft-security-teams-1ec[.]com can appear in your email, on your twitter feed, in other places visually as: mícrosoft-security-teams[.]comYou may think you're signing in to check your retirement at vanguarɗ[.]com but it's actually sent you to xn--vanguar-4cd[.]comA link that appears as vḙnmo[.]com actually sends you to the website xn--vnmo-q64a[.]com They even target kids! Take a look at xn--rblox-jua[.]com - which looks like röblox[.]com in most settings. Note the diacritical mark above the first o.If anything looks off, there's a reason. Always view links with skepticism, don't click on things unnecessarily, and always sign into the sites you use by going to the domain name you know. Stay frosty out there, friends.#cybersecurity #infosec #StayFrosty

oh good, OpenAI now claiming to do sentiment analysis, like 870 other startups scamming for contracts before them and failing.https://mastodon.social/@MikeElgan/112435084026254980

TSA has never seen a sentiment analysis system it wouldn't throw gobs of money at, and none has ever been effective in the field.

@frogzone @mttaggart @vxo @AAKL @BeAware To me, RMS is a poster child for the toxicity of never compromising. We're in a society, we've got other interconnections, we depend on each other in various ways. We need to work together, and no one's ideas are so good that they deserve a pass on how they treat other people.

@kkarhan @LambdaCalculus @blkstarseed y'all can add cum dot camp and ryona dot agency to the same shithead list. same IP.plagu dot ee is ryona's MX. some connections to 1984 dot is (webmail host, it seems), as well. Passive recon from past shows a cross-section of edgelord hentai, racist "free speech extremist" rants, and similar.

When Charlie Stross calls you the bigger dumber evil, you listen. Even if you're Microsoft.
