[13:50] <davef> Now to convince our Kube admins to set this up.. https://eric-jadi.medium.com/minecraft-as-a-k8s-admin-tool-cf16f890de42
[14:17] <diddledani> that's metaverse BS!
[14:24] <davef> Anyone heard of FlexBooker?
[14:25] <davef> I got an e-mail from them, never did business with them afaik. I pinged Troy Hunt of HaveIBeenPawnd .. https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/1478960459407495169
[14:26] <diddledani> nope, not a clue who they are
[14:28] <davef> I just want to find out where they got my data from. I'm trying to hunt down the leaked files.
[14:58] <zxmpi> https://www.itsecuritynews.info/flexbooker-3756794-breached-accounts/ maybe they had a shadow account for you?
[22:12] <diddledani> https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/rx2wwr/_/
[22:15] <daftykins> their product seems to include a miner, as a feature, so i'm not sure about the legitimacy of this story atm
[22:16] <zxmpi> welll... norton anti virus has been more like a virus than a virus for at least 20 years :-P
[22:17] <daftykins> certainly malware
[22:18] <zxmpi> i remember the first version for dos :-D
[22:19] <zxmpi> we had an intern in testing all 3000 floppies in the office for viruses as a summer job :-D
[22:19] <daftykins> ooh you monsters
[22:20] <zxmpi> viruses just kept appearing. he'd clear a desk. within a week. they'd be back. it was up to me to discover the boss was bringing disks home and back to the office every day reinfecting everything
[22:20] <daftykins> lol, always the way
[22:20] <diddledani> when will MS include one as a turn-on-able feature of Winders?
[22:20] <diddledani> a miner, that is?
[22:21] <zxmpi> winders barely runs as it is on a high spec system. crypto miner would cripple performance
[22:21] <daftykins> a feature with a choice? what parallel universe is that? :D
[22:21] <daftykins> zxmpi: total rubbish
[22:22] <daftykins> ooh i read that HPE was to blame for that University losing 77 TB of research data in backups due to a bad script update
[22:22] <zxmpi> that. was. hilarious.
[22:23] <zxmpi> erasing one tape backup is bad. but they erased all their tapes?
[23:43] <davef> Do people still bother with AV software? The one built into Windows is good enough.
[23:45] <daftykins> depends on the user really, some clients have staff that are the super risky kind that can't be educated on not opening suspicious stuff, you kinda feel a desire to have something better there
[23:45] <daftykins> i try to tell them to get by on defaults though, as i find that whole industry a con
[23:47] <daftykins> a pal says his workplace got hosed by a dodgy spreadsheet that the built-in didn't know about, once... but yeah pretty anecdotal
