Malicious

One of the things we associate with the military the most is discipline. Without it, high status and order would not be possible, and anyone who tries to disrupt it is often penalized.However, this officer’s punishment for security workers was not particularly well thought out. Only when he ordered every third car to be checked instead of the usual 15 did he realize the traffic jam he had caused and how it would affect his career.Unfortunately for him, waiting in the 2-mile-long line was a 3-star general who was very…

Google says it's upgrading the default Safe Browsing mode in Chrome to offer better protection against malicious websites. Until now, this mode has used a locally stored list to check whether a site or file may be dangerous. The list updates every 30-60 minutes but Google says that a malicious website only exists for 10 minutes on average.To combat that, Google is drawing from a feature in Safe Browsing’s Enhanced protection mode to check sites against a server-side list of known unsafe sites in real-time. The Enhanced…

Hiring family members might be beneficial for some businesses. It’s convenient for companies that are just starting, want to employ quickly, or need help getting back on track. Plus, the owner already knows the employee’s weaknesses and strengths, and the relative will likely be more motivated to contribute to the business’s success. However, some may find it difficult to stay professional while working together, as it was for this father and son. The parent didn’t like that his child was calling him “Dad” in front of…

There’s a time and a place for everything. Sure, politeness, diplomacy, and good manners are essential in workplace environments. We’re big fans of them. However, when there’s a disaster of epic proportions heading your way, it might be time for proactivity and using more urgent language. Otherwise, your colleagues might not understand that they have to take action immediately.Redditor u/Brewthirty17, who used to work at a major petroleum company, recently went viral after sharing how being overly polite at the wrong…

Google Play Store offers millions of apps for Android users for any and all tasks. However, cybercriminals see this as a lucrative opportunity to target innocent users to steal their data and even dupe them of their money through malware that is secretly embedded in these apps. To screen these apps, Google has a program in place called Play Protect.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is none too pleased with Apple’s new App Store rules, dubbing them once again a case of “malicious compliance” and filled with “junk fees.” As reported earlier this week, Apple today announced it will charge fees on “sideloaded” apps in the EU — that is, apps and games downloaded from outside its own App Store, like those Epic plans to offer. Apple’s new rules, which go into effect in the EU as part of the tech giant’s compliance with the bloc’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), target larger…

If you have worked remotely for too long, you have perhaps forgotten all the “joys” of being around random people, from ceaseless sounds and noises to smells that make you long for the days of mandatory masking.A woman was told to work from the office one day, despite being on medication that made her quite gassy. Despite her explaining the possible results, her manager was quite insistent, so she simply decided that there was nothing left to do but maliciously comply. We got reached out to AdventurousWave4721 via…

Good communication is the bedrock of any thriving and ethical company. Without it, you’re leaving an awful lot of things to chance, all the while pushing your staff away. However, employees sometimes come up with very creative ways to remind management why it’s so vital to keep them updated properly.Case in point, redditor u/MagicManicPanic revealed how they and their colleagues banded together to teach their company a lesson after they barely got any heads up for mandatory training over the weekend. It was a brilliant…

In his blog post, "A pernicious potpourri of Python packages in PyPI," M.Léveillé said, "PyPI continues to be abused by cyber attackers to compromise Python programmers' devices." He continues, "This campaign displays a variety of techniques being used to include malware in Python packages. Python developers should thoroughly vet the code they download, especially checking for these techniques, before installing it on their systems. As well as continuing to abuse the open-source W4SP Stealer, the operators have also…
