So, unfortunately, for the water companies, the UK Supreme Court has ruled that owners of assets & properties can seek redress for the dumping of sewage into their water courses (in a case brought by Manchester Ship Canal & supported by @goodlawproject). Previously the water firms had argued only the regulator could bring such actions!
So, the water sector could be about to find itself mired in a torrent of legal actions resulting from unregulated sewage discharges.
Good!

@futurebird maybe slightly different as I am in the UK but fully behind this! Education should be free, trying to educate yourself and train for a career that will help GDP / the economy of [insert country name] should not begin with at least 30k of debt, and that's not including the rent for somewhere to stay, bills and food, that's just tuition fees.
I, as an older fella well above 35, feel so sorry for any kids today (I call my mid 20s children kids still!) trying to make something of themselves.
It was hard enough when I was a kid, I wouldn't want to swap places nowadays.
I hope they all understand that not all us older buggers are anti-youngsters, we are here to help and to listen. Shame governments don't try that now and again and sort the education systems out where ever you may be.
Still messing with #stealer #malware logs, seeing what I can do with them, finding actors behind the infections, trying to connect people and groups and having fun although not getting anywhere fast.
Apart from Telegram, does anyone else know where I can download the logs to make my sample sets bigger to test across?
Have a good weekend people!
@leyrer Totally agree but I am a tech in charge of other techs. We live all over the UK and have only 2 full time sysadmins in the office, and that's only because the analysts side if the company are in there.
We also have to remember some people like to be in an office with others, the social side of things effects people in different ways and constant noise, the walking round and catching up in the coffee pod is important to people.
However, totally agree that people being forced into the office is bad. We have actually downsized office space due to the number of people working better at home. Give employees the choice, but you start forcing people.and the kickback will be unpleasant for those forcing people's hands!
I have installed #NodeRed for a new #OctopusAgile #HomeAssistant intergration. It has been a bit of struggle, but with some great help, got there in the end. Node Red looks very interesting.
Introduction This project focuses on reading and processing UK Octopus Agile electricity tariff prices (both import and export) using Node-RED, with JSONata in change nodes as an alternative to JavaScript in function nodes. I have a working Node-RED flow, together with the necessary settings for graph and table card for HA display. Disclaimers The code has been tested (against JSONata v2.0.0) and is working for me at the current time. Background I am a fan of Node-RED for its no-code sim...
Been a strange week and I think, only think, that I am being targeted with the end game being getting access into the company I co-own.
Beginning of the week started with random phishing for O365 creds via a few methods, voice mail recording, outlook phishing site and pdf 'log in to get the pdf' approach. We all get them right....majority of these got caught in mail filters anyway.
Midweek, employees at the company started to receive emails "from me" asking for their phone number so I can jump on WhatsApp for a quick chat about something.
Yesterday it stepped up with someone who knew my name and non-work phone number (just switched to work phones so the old number is out there), contacting me to ask to partner with their HR company. I went along for a bit, got a name and company domain if who they were supposed to be - first cock up, the company they were impersonating had been purchased by a new company and the old domain didn't auto forward and the SSL was out of date.
They asked for a video chat with a "trainer" to chat through duties and pay. At this point I probed on the inconsistent details given and asked why they wanted video of me. Messages being read but no answers.
Assuming they wanted video of me to try to deep fake video to call people who know me, get my voice to use maybe, who knows.
Be careful out there - I guess I should be happy getting the attention, perhaps the company is treading in someone's toes, who knows but we are not a big company so can only guess how much of this people in household name companies get.
We are in threat intel arena, perhaps we are being bundled in the approaches being made to that community?
Maybe I am over dramatising it.... interesting week though.
@wolfram_roesler @nixCraft oh that was a mind jolter. Blank tape in the boom box listening to the top 40 on the radio, fingers poised over start / stop / record to tape that's weeks hits whilst missing out the DJ intros etc!!
Sometimes I miss them days!
