    @mathourthy Good question. They have zero effect from what I can see. It’s not going to stop them from targeting anyone else.

    @crazycells good question. Gmail being provided by Google is going to be one of the more secure by default out of the box, although you have to bear in mind that you can have the best security in the world, but that is easily diluted by user decision. Obviously, it makes sense to secure all cloud based services with at least 2fa protection, or better still, biometric if available, but email still remains vastly unprotected (unless enforced in the sense of 2fa, which I know Sendgrid do) because of user choice (in the sense that users will always go for the path of least resistance when it comes to security to make their lives easier). The ultimate side effect of taking this route is being vulnerable to credentials theft via phishing attacks and social engineering. The same principle would easily apply to Proton Mail, who also (from memory) do not enforce 2fa. Based on this fact, neither product is more secure than the other without one form of additional authentication at least being imposed. In terms of direct attack on the servers holding mail accounts themselves, this is a far less common type of attack these days as tricking the user is so much simpler than brute forcing a server where you are very likely to be detected by perimeter security (IDS / IPS etc).

    @phenomlab said in TikTok fined £12.7m for misusing children’s data: Just another reason not to use TikTok. Zero privacy, Zero respect for privacy, and Zero controls in place. https://news.sky.com/story/tiktok-fined-12-7m-for-data-protection-breaches-12849702 The quote from this article says it all TikTok should have known better. TikTok should have done better They should have, but didn’t. Clearly the same distinct lack of core values as Facebook. Profit first, privacy… well, maybe. Wow, that’s crazy! so glad I stayed away from it, rotten to the core.

    @phenomlab No they have a free and pro console instance. We can see alert with IP, Source AS, scenario attack etc… Installation on the NODEBB server without problems. Very good tools [image: 1668812242411-cf7e5a89-84f4-435b-82eb-434c0bfc895e-image.png] [image: 1668811810555-cc82a10e-a1f1-4fd8-a433-7c9b2d31f254-image.png] [image: 1668811841819-1b7147b0-37c6-4d87-b4f1-a0fe92e74afd-image.png] [image: 1668811924623-7c21fc10-1825-48e1-a993-92b84455f074-image.png] – We can also do research on IPs via the crowdsec analyzer I believe it’s 500 per month in the Free version [image: 1668812069082-43bc8265-a57c-4439-829c-0bb8602d99b4-image.png]
