10 years ago computer vision was "can this convnet tell a chihuahua from a blueberry muffin at 64x64"
now we get mad if a video model can't render a raccoon in a tuxedo parallel parking a 1997 Honda Civic in the rain while its reflection in the puddle obeys Snell's law
and honestly we're right to be mad

Educate your team. Attackers may attempt to trick you into doing an interview on your work computer and this may involve “logging in” (to steal your creds) or “downloading a project or tool” (malware) to complete the interview. This is a common attack, report it immediately.

DPRK isn't just scrambling the money trail — they're literally DDOSing the visual tracking tools:
they've automated the split of $6.3b into tens of thousands of microscopic, cascading peeling chains inside a few blocks.
the sheer volume of addresses is designed to crash the GPU/CPU of any tracker trying to render the multi-chain flow, rendering forensics screens totally useless.
"WTF are you even doing here" = 50,000 automated micro-transactions designed to give chainalysis' analytics server a meltdown.

Penguins sleep more deeply in the afternoon than in the morning. French scientist Gérard Dewasmes discovered this by poking penguins with a stick at different times of day and recording how long it took them to wake up.

In 2021, workmen digging a rainwater cistern in Hazeweidestraat, St Juliaan, Belgium spotted human remains in their trench. A few days later an archaeological excavation was undertaken by the Flanders Heritage Agency. Artefacts recovered alongside the remains showed them to be those of a soldier who had served in the 5th Battalion Yorkshire Regiment.
The Ministry of Defence’s Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC), launched an investigation to name him. Research identified twenty men from the regiment missing in the area, all of whom died in the Spring of 1915.
Following genealogical investigation, living descendants of the missing men were traced one by one until eventually DNA testing proved that the remains were those of Lance Corporal Claude Stanley Dell. He was laid to rest last week at Poelcapelle British Cemetery in Belgium.

Shame how war used to be a private matter between gentlemen, and then people went and ruined it by getting everyone involved.

🚨 Our agents in the field have arrested another suspected co-conspirator of the ShinyHunters group – the group believed to be responsible for the recent FBIjobs.gov incident, which occurred on a platform managed by a third-party vendor.
This is the latest arrest this FBI has made in a matter of days involving this network, as we work non-stop to dismantle the group, pursue new leads and evidence, and act quickly.
This arrest demonstrates the strength and reach of our efforts to protect Americans from cybercrime.
We will continue to work closely with our partners to disrupt what’s left of the ShinyHunters group and their associates, no matter where they operate.

A scam call from "Google" can come with real Google emails to back it up.
In August, a member of our team got a call from a California number. The caller said there'd been an attempt to change the recovery email on our colleague's Gmail, and pointed to a security email in the inbox as proof. That email was real. The scammer had triggered it himself.
How the scam works, and how to protect yourself if it happens to you:
