Shhh... Be vewy, vewy quiet

from here and here

It's been a long time coming but Amazon Prime Air is finally coming to a backyard near some folks in Lockeford, California. Sure there are already other drone delivery pilot programs, but I'm not sure they'll be able to hold a candle to the amount of online retail business Amazon does. So I think we'll have to wait for Amazon's service to take off before we see a major shift in the modus operandi of porch pirates. Will we start calling them prime pirates? Who knows, but taking out a drone before it gets anywhere near someone's house seems like a win for thieves (especially when you see what they've done to shipping trains), so I have no doubt that it's going to become open season on delivery drones.

Not only is it a beautiful peice of work, but in seeing how it's made we gain a better understanding of how it works.

If your organization uses this business furby, you might want to switch to something with fewer vulnerabilities.

Guess they'll just have to steal more

I can't imagine Kim Jung Un is very happy that all that cryptocurrency his country stole has now dropped significantly in value. On the bright side, though, at least they didn't have to actually work (or mine) for it.

I guess anything can be a nest if you're brave enough.

Too Much Security

from here and here

Verification requires I enter the number for my non-existent cell phone? Whoops, there goes another account.

Verification requires me to retrieve a code from a recovery email that no longer exists? Whoops, there goes another account. 

Verification requires me to enter a phone number and country but the country is stuck on Afghanistan? Whoops, there goes another account. 

Verification requires a voice number that hasn't already been used to verify a different account? Whoops, there goes another account.

I should be able to decide whether or not extra security mechanisms are required for my accounts.

Did the CIA Really Try to use Cats as Spies?

Just think, if cats had been trainable we wouldn't be complaining about Alexa listening in on us in our own homes because we'd have started that decades earlier with Fluffy and Mr. Whiskers.

Risky Superspreading Aerosols

Thanks to Lisa Sass for tweeting this image of some place I definitely wouldn't want to be. It doesn't seem like there are any masks at all. I'm sure they've all been vaccinated, but that's only a single layer of defense and I'd expect security practitioners to know better than to rely on a single layer of defense, especially when the stakes are so high.

Gives new meaning to private self-reflection

They go to the trouble of giving you privacy dividers and then wipe out the privacy benefits by putting mirrors on everything. If you want your junk reflecting off of every surface, this is the public washroom for you.
