A security researcher claims Microsoft quietly fixed an Azure Backup for AKS vulnerability after rejecting his report, and without issuing a CVE. Microsoft disputes the claim, telling BleepingComputer the behavior was expected and that "no product changes were made," despite the researcher documenting a silent fix.

Well, well, well, looks like it's #OpenBSD story time again!

All you've ever wanted to know about BSD on Silicon Graphics systems (and a bit of Linux, too), without daring to ask. As this is a very long story, it will span six installments, with a new part released every wednesday.

OpenBSD on SGI: a rollercoaster story

LMAO Google's mail servers are getting used as a relay for Metamask scam emails from firebaseapp.com (presumably the scammer's site hosted on Gmail?)

I haven't seen this variation of XKCD 2347 yet. Received from a friend, source unknown.

I'm not sure why everyone is freaking out over the end of Windows 10 support. I've been waiting for years for the updates to finally end. Now I can enjoy my computer in peace.
LOL.
Until last week, the scraperbots were poisoning models with the arcane performance details and masscheck logs of the ASF #SpamAssassin project. 2 decades of data that requires a deep knowledge of SA to make any sense of. It's freely available as a matter of principle. Between thousands of days & hundreds of rules with about a dozen distinct corpora, we poisoned the models with TBs of junk.
Now we're just sending '404 Forbidden' tens of thousands of times per hour.

The new contest page is at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPAMASSASSIN/SpamAssassin+new+logo+contest

We have not worked out exactly how we're going to let everyone submit, since #TheASF has had to restrict access in face of the insane AI-bots that are making everything on the web tighten up. Stay tuned....

SpamAssassin new logo contest - SPAMASSASSIN - Apache Software Foundation

As a consequence of The Mothership changing its logo, ASF #SpamAssassin is also doing so, with a contest open to all.

We have not yet put together the details for this, but the last time we did this (before I even *used* SA) was 2004 and we did it like this then: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPAMASSASSIN/LogoContest

That page will change when we figure out a one-liner to revise all the dates.
(That's a Perl joke. Please Laugh.) https://fosstodon.org/@TheASF/115186533653931867
