"The economic value of the outgoing traffic... based on the cost-per-click estimated via the Google Ads platform showed that the owners of external websites linked from Wikipedia infoboxes would need to collectively
pay a total of around $7-13 million per month (or $84-156 million per year) to obtain the same volume of traffic as they receive from Wikipedia for free."

Hearing about a young hacker whose being extorted by the University of Washington, not cool UW.

The student claims they built an app to help kids get the course schedules they want, a hack as old as time, and the university decided to expel him until he ports his app to the university's internal systems.

This would be unpaid labor.

Until then his class registration is on hold and he can't register or attend his last few classes. 🥴

Why You Probably Don't Need A VPN To Stay Secure On Public Wi-Fi

You've probably heard advice about how hackers can steal all your sensitive information if you don't use a VPN on public Wi-Fi, but is that actually true? In this video I'll walk through some of the major risks of public Wi-Fi such as Man-In-The-Middle Attacks, Rogue Access Points, SSL Stripping, and TLS Downgrades, as well as discuss how modern security measures prevent them.

Hi all. Given the recent announcement from Meta about AI personas and allowed behavior, I am moving threads.net back to a limit, and will likely move them to a block in the future on infosec.exchange. I can’t ignore the reality that the changes they’re making are specifically intended to permit attacks on many of the people that call this place home. I won’t rule out that they walk the changes back, which is why I’m not jumping to sever the nearly 4000 mutual follow relationships between people on threads and here.
