I saw something disturbing this morning.
One of my clients showed me an email. They use Gmail for their emails (on their own domain) and download them locally.
The email officially came from their company president, giving the purchasing department orders to immediately pay an invoice of around €20,000 to a new supplier in the UK. It included all the details and had the invoice attached as a PDF.
The worrying part is that the style and tone of the writing were exactly like their president's. However, the sender's address, while using the correct name, was a generic Gmail account. This immediately raised a red flag for the purchasing department, and they didn't fall for it. It was also easy for them to check because the president was in their office at that very moment.
Looking at the sender's address, it would have been simple for anyone to figure out what was happening, but many people don't.
The accuracy with which they (likely using an LLM) recreated the president's writing style is truly concerning.

Oltre ciò il brutto è che praticamente l'economia di quel settore si è talmente appiattita su questo modo di produzione che pare impossibile uscirne senza andare fuori mercato.
È una tragedia, non solo per chi lavora ma pure per l'ambiente.

Calanchi sulla parete del cratere Ross
L'obiettivo di questa osservazione è esaminare i calanchi sulla parete sud del cratere Ross. I calanchi sembrano essere costituiti da materiale di colore chiaro e HiRISE sarà in grado di vedere molti più dettagli rispetto ai dati esistenti della Context Camera. Situato nell'Aonia Terra, il cratere da impatto ha un diametro di 82 chilometri.

In 2025, the US labeled #Venezuela's “Tren de Aragua” as a major drug cartel, despite limited evidence.
The US increased military presence near Venezuela and offered rewards for the gang's leader, but it might also be just an excuse for intervention, similar to the Iraq War's WMD claims.

But in smaller companies it’s a standard when you get something extra for them. And, though you can “sorry boss, this bug is more important”, it’s not the brightest idea 😀
I remember a case when a bug became Very Important after an investor asked it. It was CITO to the power of CITO.

Also it has it's disadvantages, problems and is of course not bullet proof, I wonder why nobody was able to design a GUI that is usable for most users with a few hours of training. You only need to understand 5 % of PGP to be able to use it.
I think convenience and lack of interest (until it's too late) are the main obstacles.

We're a big enough organisation, if you make up ten random realistic sounding European language names, we probably have employees with one or two of those names. A significant portion of our employees have a number appended to their email address because someone else with the same name already worked there before them.
And our mandate is such that we can't block random people from emailing us.

It sounded suspicious as hell, but I felt for it because I was new in the company. It was second week at the job and I didn't know anyone in the company well enough to make the correct judgement call.
I found the whole thing to be embarrassing because my major is in Cyber Security. To say I felt stupid, would be understatement of the year
