#FollowFriday @Jason Parker (he/they) Am I doing this right?
I received a letter from Change Healthcare last month regarding their data breach earlier this year. I sent it to @BrianKrebs, who used in his most recent article about it. It's such a minor thing, but it's pretty cool to see. "We received files that were safe to look at..." is interesting verbiage. Of course, receiving this letter means that a bunch of my information was leaked. Add the free years of credit monitoring to the giant pile, I guess?
There are only 4 days until the U.S. Presidential election. As of my last contact with the Secretary of State's office, the #voter registration platform in #Georgia still allows anybody to change another person's registration without requiring their driver's license/SSN. They refuse to acknowledge that it's a problem, stating that humans will catch the change. I can say with certainty that the clerks cannot catch what I'm able to do and I have receipts. #uspol #election #infosec #cybersecurity
Thanks @BrianKrebs for informing me about this platform! image
I just tried to load an archive.org link, which failed because of the DDoS. Then I thought "oh, I bet the Internet Archive has a copy!". Oh...
Can I create a poll with the entire text of Bee Movie?
It's time for a re- #introduction since this instance has changed a lot since being launched. This instance was set up for testing and playing with Internationalized Domain Names. That experiment has mostly been a success and I've now migrated away from my once-main instance. I'm a former software developer of over 20 years, working primarily in #opensource and #telephony. I now do #cybersecurity as a profession, after starting to do cybersecurity research as a hobby about a year ago. In the last year, I've found and disclosed several dozen #vulnerabilities in #govtech platforms like #court and #voter registration systems, which have gotten a not insignificant amount of press coverage. Those disclosures can all be seen at Beyond my #infosec postings, you'll typically find nonsense that I find funny; sometimes I might even say stuff that other people find amusing. I once self-published a book that I've never read called The Consequences of Being Right (ISBN 979-8880045068). It was entirely written by ChatGPT and was published because I thought it was stupid and funny. Miraculously, I've managed to sell two copies, neither of which have been returned. I'm #ActuallyAutistic and #ADHD, which is sometimes apparent. All of my other links and socials can be found at
