  • An email service can check every email and catch the vast majority of spoofed headers pretty easily.

    You’re right, it’s possible that the email is spoofed and passed the header checks, or that email is already compromised, or something.

    That said, using one’s one legitimate email in a phishing test. They said the same stuff. So we spent about a month calling them for every email they sent (including the “you need to sign up for training”)

    It creates more problems than it’s worth, and they caught the point pretty quickly.


  • my team actually does pretty good with the cyber security checks. the people running the have to meet a certain amount of metrics so they figured “hey if we send it from this one email, everyone is going to trust us!” … because that’s what they’re supposed to do… Which makes a terrible thing to do. because now they’re always going to be asking if this new email is another test.

    (Bruh. if you want us to go to training, just ask.)






  • I’ve seen Tesla’s shut the car down and force an update in the middle of the road because they were parked in a ramp and didn’t have OTA signal/wifi.

    What’s crazy is that it’s mostly unnecessary- you can update almost everything behind the scenes, and then push the ones you can’t once the drive is stopped.

    Worst part is they sat there in the middle of rush hour traffic for ~20 minutes while the slow ass download happened.
