    A security researcher questions whether standard phishing awareness training is even worth continuing. https://malwaretech.com/2023/09/it-might-be-time-to-rethink-phishing-awareness.html [malwaretech com]

    If you browse with #JavaScript disabled, you'll want to CTRL-U to view source. The article starts at line 377 and ends at line 426 (out of 798).

    It should make one wonder what evil intentions are behind hiding the text unless #JabbaShit is enabled. This is true on any site, but a domain like "Malware Tech" should pay special attention to this idea. It's probably a decent site with no ill intentions, but what they're doing is shady and questionable at best.

    1. COVID levels are so high, they’re hovering near 2020’s initial peak, as the WHO urges those at high risk to take any booster they can get their hands on
      It’s yet another sign that while the official pandemic state may be over, the days of COVID are far from it.

    One of my training programs is on cybersecurity (it is meant to prepare me for the Security+ exam if I ever finish it).

    It is also time to take $EMPLOYER's annual security awareness training. First screen, they mention some of the very things my course has been discussing. It is suddenly a whole lot less boring.

    As part of today's walking, I passed a mini-park. I decided to sit at one of the picnic tables, but someone had moved it into the sunlight. I started trying to drag it back into the shade.

    A jogger saw me trying to drag the table, stopped and helped me drag it. It was much easier with his help.

    @clacke Interesting. I just recently saw someone mention it. I don't know how often I "ponder", but I have been trying to fill in some holes in my history education, which necessarily means reading about Rome (and Phoenicia, Greece, Persia, China, Mongolia, Kyivan Rus, various Germanic tribes, Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, etc).

    France -- A supermarket chain is publicly shaming companies like #Pepsico for "shrinkflation", a practice where products' package sizes are reduced and sold for the same price or even higher. In effect, it is a hidden price increase.
