Company Destroyed by DDOS Attack, Botnets Powered by Smart Toothbrushes. Surely a sign of a technological dystopia.
I think this infosec job posting belongs over here:
"Are you a nerd who wants to help advance journalism and digital security? Freedom of the Press Foundation is hiring a Senior Security Engineer! https://freedom.press/jobs/?gh_jid=431"

Sometimes this whole infosec thing collapses for the simplest reasons... Like millions US military emails going to .ml instead of .mil.
or the problem begin ignored for a decade.
🚨BREAKING NEWS!🚨
Automattic, the company behind WordPress, is now co-authoring the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress.
The intent is to make WordPress a "first party Fediverse member" on par with Mastodon, Pleroma, and Pixelfed.
WordPress already powers 43% of all websites—and every one is a potential Fediverse server.
Automattic employee @kraft just confirmed this.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Matt is also in a position to get invited to these new platforms, so he should take it to check it out. He's been giving away invites to others at Automattic, especially engineers, to check it out. And, at the same time, Automattic is partnering up with the developer of the ActivityPub WordPress plugin to continue to iterate on WP being a first party Fediverse member. ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/ see that we're an author now too).
Remember: Twitter is Elon's company, he has the free speech and free association right to run it pretty much however he wants and to ban people for petty narcissistic reasons.
And we have the right to laugh and point at his ridiculousness and at the free-speech pretenses of his gullible fans.
