Nighed

Bad actor goes to super secret page while working on 'fixing' and issue for the user. They then get the 2 digit request code and ask the user to input it to 'resolve' the issue.

Mostly the same as any other 2fa social engineering attack I guess, but the users phone does display what the code is for on the screen which could help.... But if your falling for it probably not.

Remember, they are not expecting to win, so this isn't a policy they are expecting to have to implement, just using it to attract more of the right wing vote they are losing to the Reform UK party.

Have you seen how slow their site is normally? Just request loads of obscure random pages and it will just eat their IO.

Throw some standard ddos on top to obscure things and your good? (Bad)

Edit: I know nothing about their storage, so I may be wrong. It just feels like they are held together with spit and prayers at the best of times.

They said that the option to use other authenticators were disabled by their company

The ms authenticator works in 'reverse' in that you type the code on the screen into the phone. I assume this is preferable to corporate as you can't be social engineered into giving out a 2fa token. It also has a "no this wasn't me" button to allow you to (I assume) notify IT if you are getting requests that are not you.

I don't believe that the authenticator app gives them access to anything on your phone? (Happy to learn here) And I think android lets you make some kind of business partition if you feel the need to?

Is this the team they moved it to, or the team they moved it from?

Then you don't get any new people at all. (Or very few)

I don't think Google has a road/mountain bike toggle for navigation does it? ☹️

The pose is from another artist who based it on Howls moving castle (see the description on the instagram link - you can also see the pose sources on there)

The in story bit is when wax takes Steris on a flight with him at some point, I thought it was in the Lost Metal book, but I can't immediately find a reference for it...

There goes my fantasy F1 team for this week...

That's on used from McLaren?

I would split digital privacy from the foss and Linux discussions. They attract the same people, but are fundamentally different topics.

It also means you could get deeper into the digital privacy topic which is more useful to most people.

For the digital privacy one, ask for a volunteer (or do you!) ahead of time and get them to do GDPR requests for apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta etc. sanitizer anything they want to hide, but do a demo of what big tech actually knows about them.

Then go though how to prevent that and have a discussion on the pros and cons of that data collection. (Eg I don't care about Google data tracking as I find the Google location history really useful)
