@briankrebs Y'know, if fewer web services actively blocked older browsers, people might not be nearly as well trained to fall for things like this.

The Fake Browser Update Scam Gets a Big Makeover

One of the oldest malware tricks in the book — hacked websites claiming visitors need to update their Web browser before they can view any content — has roared back to life in the past few months. New research shows the attackers behind one such scheme have developed an ingenious way of keeping their malware from being taken down by security experts or law enforcement: By hosting the malicious files on a decentralized, anonymous cryptocurrency blockchain.

"I pulled George out of the bay at Noumea. The Ship's photographer made up a liberty card for him. George lived with me in the Lighting Shop for over a year and went over the hill when we reached Seattle."

In 1944 some Navy men rescued a kitten and filled out all the forms for him like this.

"LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall has appointed a new chair who wants to 'get the UK back on track as the world leader for LGBTQ+ equality'.

On Tuesday (17 October), the charity announced that Cat Dixon – Stonewall’s longest serving trustee and formerly vice chair – had been unanimously elected as chair by the board of trustees."

Obviously, there's only so much one organisation can do, especially when the ruling party is overtly fascist, and the "opposition" can barely distinguish itself from them, but if Cat Dixon can follow through and taking genuinely wholehearted stances against the UK government's ongoing "war on woke", perhaps we can begin to see all these timid MPs begin to muster the "courage" to embrace equality, and make the UK a welcoming place for queer folk of all stripes.

To protect your privacy and shield yourself against 0-days and malicious advertisers, an adblocker is an important part of your security stance.

The FBI, NSA, CISA, and UK National Cyber Security Centre all recommend adblocking as a protective measure.

You'd never disable your firewall or antivirus because a site asked you to. NEVER DO THIS WITH YOUR ADBLOCKER.

That's the only pertinent point here. Everything else is noise.
