What about wage suppression?

Ok.

Within ~250 miles of their location is not "incredibly precise"

I would like to read this article but am unwilling to provide even a fake e-mail address to do so

Does it also monitor the contents of your copy/paste buffer? It would scoop up a ton of privileged data if so.

Yes, the woman who started Ark Invest because it was "God's will"
Uh oh, they're going to have to kill the entire Department of Justice next.

When I managed a large fleet of EC2 instances running CentOS I had Ansible running locally on each machine via a cron job. I only used remote SSH to orchestrate deployments (stop service, upgrade, test, put back in service).

Re:Recent 'MFA Bombing' Attacks Targeting Apple Users on Thursday March 28, 2024 @02:39AM (#39848348)
It's in the article:

> Ken didn’t know it when all this was happening (and it’s not at all obvious from the Apple prompts), but clicking “Allow” would not have allowed the attackers to change Ken’s password. Rather, clicking “Allow” displays a six digit PIN that must be entered on Ken’s device — allowing Ken to change his password. It appears that these rapid password reset prompts are being used to make a subsequent inbound phone call spoofing Apple more believable.

Re:Okta Says Hackers Stole Data for All Customer Support Users on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @02:28AM (#38456579)
Because people who don't bother to read the article assume it's a new breach, as we can see in the comments here ("another breach"). I'm not saying that it makes it better or worse.
Re:Okta Says Hackers Stole Data for All Customer Support Users on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @01:23AM (#38456202)
This is not a new breach, it is a disclosure of additional findings from the last breach.

Re:Hackers Stole Access Tokens from Okta's Support Unit on Monday October 23, 2023 @12:01AM (#37981475)
Isn't Equifax part of a de facto monopoly? Okta doesn't have that luxury. Security is also not Equifax's core competency, but it is supposed to be Okta's. I would be happy for you to be right, but I think this happening a second time to Okta is going to cause massive damage to their reputation in the industry.
Re:Hackers Stole Access Tokens from Okta's Support Unit on Friday October 20, 2023 @08:10PM (#37962871)
Okta outsources their support staff to save millions of dollars while losing billions of dollars in market cap each time their support staff gets hacked.

Re:Okta says its GitHub account hacked, source code stolen on Wednesday December 21, 2022 @07:05PM (#34088053)
That would be contrary to Okta's zero-trust security model.

Okta employee here. I can assure you that there are no clear-text credentials in our source code.
