What. A. Week. Heaps of data breaches, heaps of law enforcement and gov stuff and somehow, I still found time to put even more IP addresses into the house courtesy of even more IoT. I’m not sure if the latter gives me a break from the more professional tech stuff

Lots of bit and pieces this week, most of which is self-explanatory based on the references below. One thing to add though is the outcome of the ClearVoice Surveys breach I live-tweeted during the stream: someone from there did indeed get in touch with me. We spoke on the phone,

Geez I’m glad the Facebook stuff was the week before this one! With that (mostly) out of the way, we headed off to Thredbo for a couple of days of mountain biking, hitting trails I’ve only ever snowboarded down before (yes, we get snow in Australia). Back to normality (I

A slow start this week as the camera refused to be recognised by any browser. The problem, of course, was that I’d plugged in a new DAC for the replacement speakers 🤷‍♂️ Despite the slow start, there’s a heap in this week’s update on all sorts of different things as I

Data breaches all over the place this week! Not just data breaches, but noteworthy data breaches; the VPN ones for being pretty shady, Oxfam because it included my data which was posted to a hacking forum, Ticketcounter because of the interactions I had with them during the disclosure process and
