@dangillmor really? I still see their x’s on X.

This impressive medical advance has barely made the news.

Nothing on Reuters, Bloomberg, etc. even when backed by Nature. I got it from the BBC, by the way.

Just discovered my Microsoft password was leaked somewhere.

It's one thing when you see unsuccessful attempts at logging in.

It's another when your phone chimes and its a Microsoft Authenticator request you DID NOT ask for.

Again, I say to everyone who can read this:

TURN ON TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION ON EVERYTHING THAT SUPPORTS IT NOW!
