@tiniuclx They're pretty common, and getting more so by the day. The most dangerous assumption is that being able to protect yourself is a matter of how skilled you are. But nobody can be 100% on top of things 100% of the time, and even when so, with just a couple of tweaks the phishing attack described in this article would have been undetectable even by an advanced and well caffeinated security expert.

You've heard of spam on the fediverse, now get ready for spear-phishing on the fediverse!

Brought to you by:
- easily spoofed avatars and usernames
- classic domain name spoofing problems
- the fact that humans are not wired to be able to identify these kinds of attacks

(On the next episode, something something petnames+ocaps https://www.w3.org/2005/Security/usability-ws/papers/02-hp-petname/ )

@dthompson I got my wires crossed on your work/interest things and thought you said their "nitro" system for fertilizer and thought they were now moving into agriculture.

Spear phishing + 0-day.. quite the read. https://robertheaton.com/2019/06/24/i-was-7-words-away-from-being-spear-phished/

@mike Thanks again for the feedback. Hopefully this clarifies: https://gitlab.com/dustyweb/magenc/commit/f5e011cb3f4fa060623764a4a80860e31ebca9fc

@mike You're correct; the encrypted-only URL is the content of the xt itself... the URN. I thought I made this clear but I guess I should make another look. (Probably you don't need to share a magnet with just the xt with anyone, just share the econtents of the xt.)

I think in general, the only people you'd be sharing the URN-only with though would be the "stores" of the content-addressed network you're interacting with.

Just FYI I have not done any more work for Purism since Todd told me the decision to not moderate Librem Social was final. I've already seen some alt right personalities on there and that's not fine with me.

not my best post

@drak Wow. I thought given Evil Hat's success that Fred would be able to pull in a living wage at this point... bummer that it isn't the case :(
