Good job folks. Whoever decided that there was no need to cancel school buses today deserves a raise. I hope they have a long career renown for such wisdom.

How many people out there see a “manage cookies” window and wonder a) does the operator of this website even honor my choices, or b) they make the manage cookies buttons unlabelled on purpose and the option that in most other GUI contexts is off is actually the “on” option.

I may be paranoid, but other than the threat of EU coming after the website under GDPR, website operators have strong incentive to feed you all the cookies.

@pluralistic I’m curious how much company time and money was spent on this. Researching technology on light timers, identify/purchase said lights, pay for electrician to install, write up these signs, and then the long resource tail associated with monitoring & enforcing this long term. Imagine being that boss and pitching this the board. “I want to spend $1500 up front and commit 0.25 FTE on an ongoing basis to the poop tracking project.” What is the PPT that went with that pitch, you think?

Our TD home insurance went from CAD 830 to CAD 1003 annually (tax included). Didn't claim anything for 2 decades though. Need to put a phone call in in January, assuming the call centres are low staffed around the holidays.

@oceanwave@mastodon.social avatar

@Hansonthebike ours is going up too (not TD, and not by that much). I assume it’s all the climate-change-induced tornadoes we’ve been getting that we never had before. Insurance companies aren’t fooled by anti-climate-change rhetoric. They know what’s up. Sadly.

Or it could just be business BS, charging folks more because they can. Or both?

The people that Bernie Madoff stole from, got most of their money back. ~90% at this point. 👍🏿

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-total-distribution-over-4-billion-victims-madoff-ponzi-scheme#

Because Madoff stole from mostly rich, mostly white people, ultra high net worth individuals, financial institutions. US society makes sure that rich folk are made whole, have loans forgiven (Eg PPP), etc.

But the people that SBF stole from are unlikely to ever get their money back. Because they were disproportionately Black, low net worth individuals. AKA, normal people.

Overall, the average September global air temperature was +1.47°C above 1951-1980 climate baseline (+1.72°C above the 1880-1920 baseline). Data code: https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/sources_v4/.

@ZLabe is that an anomaly of > 5C over Antarctica or is it a data collection issue? I see some black spots I assume are missing data, so what’s the red?

@shawnhooper they have info screens that show the train’s speed, I didn’t realize they can get up to 150km/h. At least in Québec.

ANTARCTIC DOOM?

A Comprehensive study of West Antarctic Ice Sheet finds collapse may be unavoidable

The study is the first attempt to model the uncertain atmosphere and ocean processes that could doom the sheet's ice shelves, leading to considerable sea level rise.

1Password detects “suspicious activity” in its internal Okta account

1Password, a password manager used by millions of people and more than 100,000 businesses, said it detected suspicious activity on a company account provided by Okta, the identity and authentication service that disclosed a breach on Friday.

“On September 29, we detected suspicious activity on our Okta instance that we use to manage our employee-facing apps,” 1Password CTO Pedro Canahuati wrote in an email. “We immediately terminated the activity, investigated, and found no compromise of user data or other sensitive systems, either employee-facing or user-facing.”

Since then, Canahuati said, his company had been working with Okta to determine the means that the unknown attacker used to access the account. On Friday, investigators confirmed it resulted from a breach Okta reported hitting its customer support management system.

Okta said then that a threat actor gained unauthorized access to its customer support case management system and, from there, viewed files uploaded by some Okta customers. The files the threat actor obtained in the Okta compromise comprised HTTP archive, or HAR, files, which Okta support personnel use to replicate customer browser activity during troubleshooting sessions. Among the sensitive information they store are authentication cookies and session tokens, which malicious actors can use to impersonate valid users.

Security firm BeyondTrust said it discovered the intrusion after an attacker used valid authentication cookies in an attempt to access its Okta account. The attacker could perform “a few confined actions,” but ultimately, BeyondTrust access policy controls stopped the activity and blocked all access to the account. 1Password now becomes the second known Okta customer to be targeted in a follow-on attack.

Monday’s statement from 1Password provided no further details about the incident, and representatives didn’t respond to questions. A report dated October 18 and shared on an internal 1Password Notion workspace said the threat actor obtained a HAR file a company IT employee had created when recently engaging with Okta support. The file contained a record of all traffic between the 1Password employee’s browser and Okta servers, including session cookies.

@dangoodin good on the company for the forward-leaning disclosure. Granted it’s easier to be forward-leaning when it was the fault of another company, but still…
