Who would have thought that infinite monkeys on infinite keyboards copying bits of code from places where people ask why their code isn't working would need significant amounts of human review?

Here’s a poem called ‘An Invention of Collective Nouns’.

An Invention of Collective Nouns
 
A reckoning of spreadsheets.
A distraction of smartphones.
A prattle of podcasts.
A mispronunciation of scones.
 
A clique of photographers.
A heard of precedents.
An enjambment of
poets. A grope of presidents.
 
A pile of haemorrhoids.
A bunion of personal trainers.
A bout of estimations.
A condescension of mansplainers.
 
A stroke of geniuses.
A spot of adolescents.
An embarrassment of Richards.
A collection correction of pedants.

Happy December 13th, the one day of the year that I accept non ISO 8601 date formats without judgement

and it's not like my insurance provider gives a warning of "never forward this email" or whatever so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hey, make sure you click carefully on emails. The links might be phishing scams.

Meanwhile, from my health insurance provider:

An in-browser popup from my mail provider warning me that my very legit email notification from by health insurance provider wants me to click to see a recent claim, with some urgency. Of course, the domain does not match the source of the email, nor does it have any obvious relationship with my insurance.

🚨 With folks (rightfully) abandoning GitHub for other pastures, some are turning to self-hosting. One option is Gogs, and the epic team at Wiz says you gotta patch since there's an 0-day in the wild (pls RT for reach and someone pls post on the stupid fosstodon server b/c the folks there are likely to be doing this)

☕ & #threatintel: CISA has moved the due date for mitigating CVE-2025-55182 (Meta React Server Components Remote Code Execution Vulnerability) up two weeks. It was initially set for December 26, but it is now due on December 12. IIRC, this is the first time the due date has been modified.

In all honesty, if you haven't already patched this vulnerability, it's likely too late. As a reminder, patching does not boot attackers, so you should check for indicators of compromise.

🔎 Your attack surface isn’t where you think it is.

Cloud, SaaS, IoT, shadow IT, vendors — exposure now lives everywhere, and traditional scanning can’t keep up.

On Dec. 3, SC Media hosted a webcast with @sawaba, @hdm, and @todb on:

✔️ Continuous discovery
✔️ Overlooked external pathways
✔️ Why periodic inventories fail
✔️ How to operationalize ASM

@BarrySweeney @davep what's @beasts ? The Mastodon account gives no hints.

I was leery of Gandi's acquisition a couple years ago but they seem to have remained independent.

@teriradichel good thing executive orders don’t fucking work like that.
