Since I keep seeing developers use ‘pretty’ IP addresses like ’1.2.3.4’ in example configurations; a reminder that you MUST NOT use publicly routable addresses that you do not control in your code.

Instead, use one of the available 'TEST-NET' IPv4 or IPv6 ranges documented in RFC 6890;

192.0.2.0/24
198.51.100.0/24
203.0.113.0/24

❌ 1.2.3.4
✅ 192.0.2.4

and for IPv6;

✅ 2001:db8::/32

Pass it on to all of your fellow developers, documentation writers, and so forth.

Full RFC for special purpose addresses;

Reserved for documentation, IPv4 and IPv6;

RFC 6890: Special-Purpose IP Address Registries

This memo reiterates the assignment of an IPv4 address block (192.0.0.0/24) to IANA. It also instructs IANA to restructure its IPv4 and IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registries. Upon restructuring, the aforementioned registries will record all special-purpose address blocks, maintaining a common set of information regarding each address block.

so SBF and an attorney:
• falsified a "payment agreement" between FTX & Alameda
• backdated it by ~2y
• wet signed it to avoid DocuSign timestamp
• submitted it to an external auditor
• used it to obtain a $400M funding round

Update; Microsoft snuck out a blog admitting DDoS, didn’t mention Microsoft 365, Outlook, Exchange, OneDrive or Azure impacts, posted it on Friday night after refusing to comment all week to media and customers, then didn’t link it on their social and news channels.

Microsoft says early June disruptions to Outlook, cloud platform, were cyberattacks

Microsoft says the early June disruptions to its Microsoft’s flagship office suite — including the Outlook email apps — were denial-of-service attacks by a shadowy new hacktivist group. In a blog post published Friday evening after The Associated Press sought clarification on the sporadic but serious outages, Microsoft confirmed that that they were DDoS attacks by a group calling itself Anonymous Sudan, which some security researchers believe is Russia-affiliated. The software giant offered few details on the attack. It did not comment on how many customers were affected.
