Re-watching Repo Man (again) and I spotted the author of “Dioretix” – Googled that and wound up here.

X. Rum-Bubba!

Another rabbit hole to go down?

“Know what I mean?” Lite asked rhetorically.

New npm Packages Stealing SSH Keys

The Sonatype Security Research team is currently tracking an ongoing campaign on the npm registry that uses npm packages to retrieve and exfiltrate your Kubernetes configuration and SSH keys to an external server.

Great. I wonder what else is going on.

Whoah! WTF?!?

This is absolutely nuts.

I’m sure it’s going to have serious ramifications on the west coast, especially in Southern California.

Thousands of information technology workers contracting with US companies have for years secretly sent millions of dollars of their wages to North Korea for use in its ballistic missile program, FBI and Department of Justice officials said.

Thousands of North Korean Workers Got Remote US Jobs: FBI

I’m going to have to do some more research on this, but I’m astonished and had to share this quickly.

A 9/11 “What If?”

Saw this on ABC News today. It’s a few months old, but I thought it was poignant.

“If San Diego FBI agent Steven Butler had known what the CIA knew about possible terror attacks, he may have had the best chance to stop the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers, investigators told ABCNEWS.”

No Monkey Business

I was watching this video and I decided to do a Google image search on “field installation” thor 1957.

I’m still not sure about what I’ve discovered.

It appears to be a man in a monkey suit.

And that gorilla is posing with a few costumed ladies as well.

I’m not sure I really want to know the story here.

But this is a Thor IRBM made by Douglas Aircraft back in 1957. So, you’re welcome? I guess?
