Ever wondered WHY Trump and his allies are so viciously attacking and cutting science?
It's because science puts the lie to everything they're trying to do. It identifies the real people and actions causing our problems. It exposes the truth behind their disinformation.
Science not silence.
@hacks4pancakes It’s a pretty big online bank, with purple lettering…
@hacks4pancakes that happened to me as well! Somebody sent me a Zelle payment that I didn’t recognize and then marked it as fraudulent. I called the bank’s fraud department and their customer service at least 5 times. Not only did they not let me do transfers, they completely locked me out of my account!

Nothing gets me more excited about new software versions than “Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements “. It would be great to get at least SOME details.
@arstechnica and yet, thousands of businesses and government agencies continue to use Okta without second thought.

I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here if I assume that these were poorly paid contractors who clicked through the mandatory security trainings to get them over with.
