That’s what always kills me… the line of “this is not a phishing email” as if just anyone can’t add that. If anything that line makes me more suspicious.

It’s possible the “mystery” they refer to could be related to the identity of the hacker(s), how it got onto the routers in the first place, or the purpose for the attack

Damn, I was just looking into and learning about the different main compression (gzip, bzip, xz) algorithms the other week. I guess this is why you stick to the ol’ reliable gzip even if it’s not the most space efficient.

Genuinely crazy to read that a library this big would be intentionally sabotaged. Curious if xz can ever win back trust…

Can anyone help me understand xz vs Zstd?

“A fuckload of bees” is pretty good, but I have to give it to “An uneasy partnership of coyotes.”

I love animal group names for mythical creatures. The most memorable one I’ve heard is a “thunder of dragons.”

Per the article, it seems Visa has already stopped this practice. I think they’re calling out Mastercard as the other top player in the consumer credit card space (I doubt Amex has quite the market dominance Visa / MC do, especially overseas).
