MostlyHarmlessRick Astley has done a better job of preventing people from clicking random links than any corporate cyber-security training.
schuelermine@MostlyHarmless I mean he didn't do it himself

Did we secure cyber with Rick Astley, or did we secure cyber at Rick Astley?

@MostlyHarmless @freeplay I just read an in depth article posted by @babe on this which analyzes how much it's improved security awareness.

As so many people are looking for new platforms to fill the void now that they're abandoning twitter, I've written a blog post featuring a comprehensive run down of 16 modern alternatives that I've found and tried, to give you a good comparison of all the different options out there. I've also detailed some of the older forms of social media that are still alive and kicking! I've also included a little bit about their histories and vision for social media. Link to FOSS/infosec blog is in bio.

the kinds of people who need training for not clicking random stuff don't even know what rickrolling is

waldi@pynk @MostlyHarmless If clicking on random stuff can actively do harm, make those systems better?
Irenes (many)@MostlyHarmless honestly, it's a good point. we always found the joke mean-spirited, but it does benefit people.
Howard Cohen@MostlyHarmless My skater friend Richard agrees with you.

Advanced Persistent Teapot@MostlyHarmless goatse man a close second
Cassandrich@MostlyHarmless The only legitimate corporate anti phishing training is sending rickrolls. No tracking who clicked, no rewards or punishments except the glory of hearing Rick Astley.
woollypigs@MostlyHarmless that's because he would never give you up ...
MegatronicThronBanks@MostlyHarmless He'll never give us up!
Søren Sandager Sørensen@MostlyHarmless Teaching me to click them when I'm in the mood to listen to a banger!
Tara Bethany Allard@MostlyHarmless are you suprised?
He did tell us:
… Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Roger Ap Gwillian@MostlyHarmless Because he never gives up.

Ed Davies@MostlyHarmless I hope the irony of multiple spam toots with short URL links (from mastodon.social, of course) as replies to this is not lost on anybody.

Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse.cx was my lesson in knowing to not click on random links.

Steve Foerster 🌐@MostlyHarmless Not me, because I like that song. 🤷
Kirsche 🐰🐺🐱 (Commissions Open) (5 Slots)@MostlyHarmless people dunked on that kid who refused to click on random executable attachements because of creepypastas but that put the kid on a higher level of cybersecurity than the average discord user who is so easy to phish theres multiple community PSAs a year

Robin Frost@MostlyHarmless Can you tell us more please? I'm intrigued.
not a martian, honest@robini71 @MostlyHarmless I think this article explains it quite well https://r.mtdv.me/blog/posts/Ico292pnU7
@kyonshi @MostlyHarmless Well it would explain it well if there was a button on the page to mute the music long enough so scrreen reader software for the #Blind could read the post. I tried. Ah well, another day perhaps.
@robini71 @MostlyHarmless ah sorry, yes that joke fell flat then
Rick Astley is a singer whose song "Never Gonna give you up" was used in a long-running joke where a link to a story that purports to be about something else actually leads to an autoplaying video of the song.
That used to be a big joke on the internet ca. 15 years ago. People have gotten wise to it now.
@kyonshi @MostlyHarmless Ah interesting.
