I t has been 9 months since I have been on here and it does not look like the Mastodon default web client has improved much. It is still lacking features that frustrated me 2 years ago. Glad to see the service is still around though.
BrianKrebsWe're learning more about the crack team at DOGE from DOGEwhisperer over at Bsky:
https://bsky.app/profile/dogginglover.bsky.social/post/3lid446df4224
Specifically, about Christopher Stanley, former Senior Director for Security Engineering at X and Principal Security Engineer at SpaceX, now serves as a Musk aide at DOGE with a White House role.
"Also known as Unh0ly, enKrypt, or Reneg4d3—the former owner of Error33[.]net, a warez and hacking forum, and theC0re, a video game cheating community. His 2011 personal website r00tyou[.]com prominently featured the n-word on the front page."
"'Christopher’s (or enKrypt’s) biggest hacking claim to fame came in 2015 when he hacked LizardStresser, a DDoS tool affiliated with Lizard Squad. He provided the dumped database to Brian Krebs, which led to him and his family being targeted and doxxed by the group."
My reporting in 2015 didn't name Stanley as the source, but he outed himself by posting a video of the LizardStresser hack to his eNKrypt Youtube channel, and soon was targeted with swatting attacks.

The reason is that BlueSky allows people to create Starter Packs which is a series of accounts that the poster feels are accounts that you may be interested in following on BlueSky. I have used several of these packs over the past week to follow accounts.
