Today in #ITSecurity gone wrong: I am in Austria as a German. I just received a notification via cell broadcast about a fire in the area. The broadcast contains a URL - but this URL is only accessible from an Austrian IP address. My LTE roaming IP isn’t allowed. So… I guess I just suffocate because I have the wrong IP address, then? 😅
Sent them an email requesting to have my IP range allowlisted and questioning the general assumption such a service should be limited to in-country IP ranges. Let’s see what happens.
