usps pushed the zip+4 poo poo really hard back in the day but it was a time where it was near impossible to figure out what those +4 were. but now with the internet most addresses can be deduced automatically so

it's 4 more zip code digits added to the end that allow the code to be specific enough to narrow it down to something like a city block, apartment complex, small neighborhood etc

I found my first career secfuck! An application my poo poo was linking to added a login page, but implemented it such that the page my app links to (with the sensitive data) is transmitted in full before some js is executed to redirect the login page.

Some asshat at a customer site decided that figuring out the routing from our Site2Site VPN was too hard and just exposed our server to the public internet without telling us. Take a guess what happened.

External client secfuck...our API accepts an optional HTTP header that allows clients to send in their own correlation ID's so they can track events that pass through our system. Today I was looking at some logs to track down a harmless issue and noticed that some of the requests for a particular user had a correlation id of 'geoffrey2017'...ehhhh spidey sense prickling...a little more digging and it turns out for certain requests, one of our clients is sending through member's passwords in the correlation id.

How does this happen. I don't just mean as a secfuck, but just...how is their code written so that such a nonsensical bug like that exists?

Also we put a ton of effort into making sure our logs don't contain sensitive data but obvs this circumvented it and now I've had to clean our logs going back almost a year till when we went live.

Not sure what the impact was to the other systems on their lan, our only ssh login that worked didn't have sudo. From what I could tell form looking in /tmp they were running a bunch of bitcoin poo poo on it our 64core server. The system wasn't live yet, so there wasn't any data on that server to be had, but who knows about what else got owned on their network.

You understand the situation correctly if your conclusion from the recent PGP news was "never use email to send something that's meant to be secure".

Sadly, the GnuPG team made the decision that it’s not their job to pre-emptively address problems that they view as ‘clients misusing the GnuPG API’ (my paraphrase), even when that misuse appears to be rampant across many of the clients that use their tool. And so the most obvious fix for one part of the problem was not available.

I'm not a lawyer, and definitely not one worrying about not getting slapped with 4%-of-global-revenue fines. But if I was, I'd be concerned about that sort of thing not actually counting as users giving informed consent to what you want to do.

E: is gdpr compliance going to have tip-off bounties like tax evasion does?

i agree that it will leave the news cycle shortly its more that we dont want to do it as a company because despite being scum we try to be ethical scum
this isnt the first thing customers have asked for that weve tried to avoid doing because we felt it was ethically dubious

one of my clients did something similar to this for their second GDPR mailer, subject line to the effect of “First look at *new product*” with a standard GDPR text opt-in (no new product news in the email itself), it actually garnered a couple thousand additional signups (people actually want this product) and I guess the trade off for the brand is if users ignore it they are gonna get cleaned anyhow come next week.

Cheeky though.
