Sounds like a good way to engineer it... anything to improve the bottom line even if insanely-targeted ads only trickle out to users. How about limiting who sees this feature to also limit the risk of being detected? Maybe just do it once a

The processes that led to the overspending in the first place are most likely the pricing models you agreed to. There are a million ways to manage this spend, but at the end of they day you are now held hostage by your hosting company. They

The domain was never transferred, so a transfer lock wouldn't have stopped this. I need to look into the termination locking. It's not 100% clear to me if GoDaddy locks their DNS nameserver pointer to an external DNS server, or if

[OP] here... There were no 2fa alerts or any record of anomalous logins, so it's unlikely the password was compromised. Even locking my domain from transfer wouldn't have stopped this from happening, the domain wasn't transfe

What registrar would you recommend and why?

by netsectoday 4y ago
> Rule #1: Domain registrar and DNS should never be the same source. The domain registrar POINTS to whatever DNS servers, so in this attack the registrar just POINTED to their own DNS servers. Rule #1 and Rule #2 were followed but the do

I posted this today and thought my comment would be shown at the top of the post instead of just some rando who seems to have the same problem. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32693382

[OP] I have a domain registered through Godaddy and this morning the site went down. nslookup returned some random server IP address instead of mine so I thought the domain was hijacked (it was). Godaddy flipped it to a "Parked by Goda

This is a valid concern when running Dockerized containers and it caught me years ago when I was deploying my first containerized servers to the wild. It was a "holy shit" moment, but anyone who is trusted (getting paid) to secure

This is just the same as playing the computer and hitting "Undo" when you get screwed until you find where it all went wrong. Then you play that new timeline and can "Undo" again to create another timeline. This is a coo

That same sentiment is found across the Arduino forums. There's a fine-line between receiving a comprehensive and correct answer to your EE/software questions vs. getting snidely berated for being an idiot.

Tor is great, but they also publish a list of IP addresses for their exit nodes, so website owners can block that easily. Random open web proxies are harder to defend against. You can also spin-up your own server from a cloud provider and p

The fun part about being Google is that you can cheat and bypass your own reCAPTCHAs!!! It's brilliant that the world's largest operator of web-scraping bots also develops the most-used bot-protection plugin (for reasons).

Your first statement is correct - a significant fraction of news articles are written by bots.

Nowadays when reading articles I usually have a "did a bot write this" meter running in my head. When the author has no point and is just spewing related words that form sentences I usually click away. I wonder at what point it&#x
