I'll be interested to see how this plays out. The ACCC media release might make it sound worse than it was. In the included screenshots, there is clearly text that explains in pretty plain English. They left these parts out of the medi

It's awful to see such a large reduction in force when MSFT overall is up 30% year to date. I haven't heard of other FAAMG companies making similar moves.

Unless you're referring to something else, I think you misunderstood the quote from the article. These companies suspended response to _government requests for user data_ in Hong Kong, not the accounts of Hong Kong protestors. That is,

Agreed. I don't think it would turn up any skeletons, more of the implication if this breach was in any way politically motivated given our recent election meddling.

Based on what we know, it does sound like the attackers had full access to the accounts. That's a really interesting point about direct messages. It makes it all the more interesting that Obama and Biden and were both targets with the

This makes a lot more sense. I can't imagine Twitter isn't using some sort of phsyical 2FA like yubikeys which are virtually Phish proof if implemented well. That being said, what was the employee's endgame here?

This is the second suit from this firm that seems to be formed on an incredibly weak and intentionally misleading argument. Here: the user turns off data collection from Google services, but third party apps use a Google Cloud offering to c

I think the sensors are located near but not part of the camera assembly. Covering the camera is also likely to cover the light sensor.
