What the gently caress is wrong with glasses and parens? Maybe they just really like lisp.

In case you don't twitter the ((name)) thing is all about right wing nutjobs pointing out the ((jews)) hiding amongst us and then people did it to mock them

But I'm probably just failing at ((thejoke))

i definitely did not understand this post

Segmentation Fault posted:

there was a browser extension called "Coincidence Identifier" or something like that that would put (((three parentheses))) around certain people's names. All of these people happened to be Jewish

there was a Twitter meme in response where people put the (((three parentheses))) around their own name to mock the neo-nazi thing. this meme is way old now

what wikileaks is doing is pointing out that everybody who still has their name as this is a sniveling wonk shithead, which is actually true

CommunistPancake posted:

"happened to be Jewish"? no, that was the point. it was an extension created by anti-semites to show when people had jewish names, with the "coincidence" being identified was, to them, that important people had jewish names.

and i think you're giving a little too much credit to wikileaks.

Parallel Paraplegic posted:

maybe they meant "happened to be" like "~just happened to be~", sarcastically

Segmentation Fault posted:

Yeah that was the joke. Like detrieux said it was meant to highlight "degenerates," iirc its from some far-right podcasts where they put an echo effect on certain people's names, like George Soros or w/e

if anyone is interested in the aus census stuff my buddy actually worked there for several years in an infosec role and still keeps in touch with the people working there so he's fed me some tidbits:

* the 2016 census program manager gave David Kalisch (head of the ABS) a no-go order months before commencement as they weren't ready. kalisch ignored this and went ahead anyway
* 90% of the ppl working at the ABS hate kalisch's guts
* the head of IT security at the ABS was replaced 2 months before the start of the census
* the infosec team at the ABS is almost entirely GRC people with like 2-3 actual infosec ppl. they are also completely swamped with work so nothing ever gets done well or at all
* for the 2011 census which was both paper and electronic the ABS did request DDoS protection from their upstream provider which at the time was Telstra. several months after the census the reps from Telstra gave a presentation to the ABS sec team which included data showing that they did mitigate several attacks and kept the site online

so yeah it's a shitshow top-to-bottom due to poor decisions that weren't based in reality and i wouldnt expect anything less

this is great stuff I'd love to hear more if it comes to you. I've had some ex IBM people confirm the other description (Nextgen offering DDOS and being told it wasn't needed etc) is close as well.

this is actually kind of a good idea as it mitigates account takeover somewhat however they still shouldn't have sent your new assword in the clear

Same. I mean its the Australian Govt so there's stuffups everywhere but hearing how exactly they hosed up is still gratiftying. Can I repost this in Auspol?

snowden talkin on tweetz0r that the equation group hack is likely russians demonstrating CCNE in order to show that they can prove U.S. responsibility of any attacks sourcing from that server, which he speculates is now being made more public in order to halt escalation of attribution in the DNC hack

what's wrong with upstream DDOS mitigation

cheese-cube posted:

nothing at all. what i'm pointing out is that they had it in 2011, it worked and yet 5 years later when attacks are getting into the hundreds of gigabits they decided that no, they didn't need it.
