i can haz all ur monees?

from failblog (as if that wasn't painfully obvious)

looks like the threat of violence was an empty promise. all things considered, perhaps the gun was empty too. don't rely too much on a bluff, there's always someone willing to call it.

tightening the security belt

from stewpig

i wonder if this moron is using a chain to hold up his pants. normally stealing a chained up bike would require bolt cutters but this one would probably only take a box cutter.

ai had a mask but ai broked it

bicycle APT

from failblog

well look at that. it seems like the bike owner used fairly standard practices to secure the bike but they weren't good enough against a skilled and persistent attacker. the APT of the bike world, or maybe just a case of "Standard Techniques Failed Us" (STFU)

it's a trap!

from buttersafe (thanks to the folks at eset for pointing in out)

i'z in ur shower, maekin a kleen getaway

yeah, so, uh, i guess that's a perfectly natural thing to do. break into a house and think to yourself "i feel dirty".

collecting badness

thanks to graham cluley for the great tweet

obviously someone forgot that an email address meant for receiving bad things is VERY different from a normal address where those bad things get filtered out at many points before even reaching the address.

i don't have to go that bad

from failblog

i know some people are more open about certain things in different parts of the world, but if you're going to do that then why even bother with a door?

digital rights malevolence is part of the end user licensed assasination

thanks to julio canto for posting this one on twitter

while DRM is an officially sanctioned and protected way for vendors to work against the interests of customers, i haven't heard of any actually using contact poisons... yet.
