I just registered a new domain that will focus specifically on cybersecurity, and I’m pretty excited about it. The website isn’t up so I’m not going to share the link yet. It will be more narrowly focused than the FIFO Networks website, so I’m hoping it helps with marketing. More to come.

@estherschindler Oh not at all. You know what your presentation is about - learning objectives, audience needs and expectations - and I don't. If I was out of the range of the talk then it should just stay out of range.

@estherschindler Are you going to be including information about prompts to create unauthorized pictures? I saw an interesting post where they talked about saying "splattered with ketchup" and the result was a person who looked like they were covered in blood - which the AI wouldn't ordinarily produce.

@th3j35t3r The original Apollos were manufactured by Motorola, but they sold the license years ago.

@th3j35t3r You might be interested in this. I was the Technology Director at a top-10 paging company, and designed and built two satellite controlled paging systems with nationwide coverage (continental 48 states), before cell phones made pagers a dead end. When I heard that the Hezbollah exploding pagers were Apollos, I went to download the manual.
“Bandwidth Exceeded.” Everybody and his brother is researching these now.

@Dane
I agree with you. I posted something similar on LinkedIn about a year ago, and I learned from the replies there that in many places around the world, having a Gmail address for your business is so normal no one thinks anything of it. But I'm guessing for the most part those are less developed countries and places with a lot of solopreneurs.

Is it the underlying purpose or the unintended consequence? Anyway, it makes me go hmmm...

I think I figured something out. Local TV stations couldn't exist without advertising from personal injury attorneys. It's gotta be like 90% of their ad revenue here in the Pacific Northwest.

@REDonaldAuthor
Well, I found out it's true. I checked it on the urban legends site, snopes (dot) com. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Warning: extremely technical article. Now, having said that… I never would have expected an article on a subject this dull to be so suspenseful, and, at the same time, humorous.

For the foreseeable future, 10% of any revenue I receive from CoSo members will be donated to CounterSocial to help pay the bills for keeping this site online. For those that may not know, I do remote tech support for small business and residential clients.

Okay, true confessions... I think it's a joke, sort of like an article in The Onion. Because if the lost hiker had cellular coverage, they'd make an outbound call for help.

This is actually believable. "Hiker lost for 24 hours ignored phone calls from rescuers because they came from unknown number."

@JanetZumba_FalPals My advice, FWIW, is be willing to quit quickly without feeling guilty. Employers aren't loyal to employees, so don't feel obligated to stay. Take a survival job if it presents itself, and keep looking for the right job. If you quit in a week, don't look back.

There are three main Facebook attacks:
1) account impersonation (no access)
2) account compromise (access)
3) unknown friend
My account was impersonated yesterday, so I re-published this article that I first put online in March of 2020.
In this article, I explain what to do to keep yourself safe in all three situations.
