    I’ve clicked an obvious phishing link once in an isolated environment with a hardened browser on purpose. It had a tracking link and all and the URL was just ever so slightly off. Nothing happened on the target page though. No attempted script execution, no iframes, no cross site shenanigans, no weird popups or a fake login UI urging me to enter my credentials asap.

    Someone from my company’s security department called me shortly, telling me how I’ve failed the obvious phishing exercise and I had to undergo a half hour long mandatory awareness training. Wasn’t getting out of that one.



  • People calling for collective punishment of a whole nation are irrational. Even sanctions won’t do shit.

    The problem is reach. Whatever the EU does, thanks to Orbán and his cronies owning all terrestrial media and major online publications, the opposition gets drowned out in a sea of disinfo, controlling the rural population, which is 70% of the country. Antennae television and radio stations are still big there. Budapest ALWAYS votes against Fidesz.

    EU needs to dust off Radio Free Europe, and also disperse leaflets in the countryside. Spend the EU money that Hungary would have gotten on such a campaign. Focus the campaign on the state of poverty, corruption, inflation, class division, infrastructure, education and health care collapse, instead of this sham parade of their “child protection act” that they want the population (and the EU) to focus on.
