Anatomy of Cryptophishing – Hydro Project

Cross-posted to “AdventuresInCyberSecurity.com” and “BecomeACyberSecurity.Expert” Logo is stolen from the real Hydro Protocol folks. I get some interesting emails, and in particular, some interesting phishing emails. Most of them are quite poor, and fairly easy to spot, and the people constructing them don’t go through a lot of effort. I received one today that was […]

Re-analysing the #Tezos #ICO & Future #XTZ Price

When I first wrote this post, I didn’t know what the final number of Tezos “tezzies” was going to be, and made a guesstimage. The total number has been published: 763,306,929.69 Of course, I was off by quite a bit – more than 200 million of them. However, it’s worth noting that while that’s going […]

Analysing the #Tezos #ICO & Potential #XTZ Future Price

The ICO raised 65,635 BTC and 361,122 ETH, which at current prices is $226,827,513. They’re of course suffering from the recent “crash” (really just a small drop), but it’ still the biggest initial coin offering ever, by more than $75 million. (They were well over $230 million at one point.) I’ve no idea how many […]

U.S. Government Releases “Proof” of U.S. Election Hacking by Russians

Gary Markstein, as above. Edit: Original post still below, but I’ve been informed by several of the Threat Researchers with whom I work that this report is not supposed to be considered as the government’s proof, merely things that organisations can use in order to protect themselves. With that understood, it still furthers a narrative […]

The NYT Calls for FB to “Join Them as Defenders of Truth”

The problem with the New York Times calling for Facebook to “join them” as “defenders of truth” is that few people, especially those that would have voted for Trump, would even consider them defenders of truth. Their “Intellectual Yet Idiot” scientism (Thank you NNT!) and bias towards the Dems/left makes them anything but. When they […]

The Necessity of the Electoral College in One Picture

Source: MichaelPRamirez.com Most people don’t understand the electoral college – they think it is an arcane system from the 1800s, and screws the voters. In reality, it’s a somewhat-arcane system from the 1700s, and is designed not to screw voters. The United States, for all its preaching of democracy (and its attempts to democratise the […]

The Despicable Alternative

Meme by me. Among the “intelligent left”, it is said that it is “better to elect a corrupt politician than a madman”, referring obviously to their preference of Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. While I don’t think that Donald Trump should be president, the problem with the supposition that he is a madman, is that […]

On the Ill Health of Hillary

Dr. Drew Pinsky has come out as gravely concerned for Hillary’s health care. There’s a Youtube video of the conversation he’s had; some website has also taken down a page where he put up the supposition originally. I mentioned this on Google Plus, and from a Hillary apologist I got the standard response that any […]

Using Amazon Native Shopping Ads

This is what the ads look like for a product post, which is the only place they should show up. Courtesy of Amazon. You’ll notice that on some of the pages on this blog, ads by Amazon will start appearing. Yep, I’m adding ads to this blog. I don’t imagine there will be much in […]

The FBI Just Handed @realdonaldtrump the Presidency #neverhillary

Indeed, it would seem so. Today, the FBI determined that Hillary Clinton will not be brought up on charges for mishandling classified information. The Speaker of the House is incredulous. Rudy Giuliani thinks it puts her above the law. For those of you not in the know, the mere mishandling of classified information – with […]
