Epik now using prayer against #Anonymous. They'll enjoy that.
“You are in our prayers today. We are grateful for your support and prayer. When situations arise where individuals might not have honorable intentions, I pray for them,” Monster added. “I believe that what the enemy intends for evil, God invariably transforms into good.”
"Linux engineer [doing an] assessment on behalf of a client who uses Epik’s services told the Daily Dot that the breach was one of the worst he had ever seen. ...
“They are fully compromised end-to-end,” they said. “Maybe the worst I’ve ever seen in my 20-year career.”
"The engineer pointed the Daily Dot to what they described as Epik’s “entire primary database,” which contains hosting account usernames and passwords, SSH keys, and even some credit card numbers—all stored in plaintext."
This is Mickey-Mouse kindergarten shit.
"also includes Auth-Codes, passcodes that are needed to transfer a domain name between registrars. ... with all the data in the leak, which also included admin passwords for WordPress logins, any attacker could easily take over the websites of countless Epik customers."

Another #DeepDive on the Epik hack because I'm curious as to what exactly's going on. The people I know who know about this stuff are too busy screaming. "The 180 gigabyte trove of data could shine light on some of the internet’s most odious corners."
"...“a decade’s worth of data from the company” has been obtained, including all domain purchases, domain transfers, and unredacted website registration data that could shed light on individuals and groups behind extremist or hate sites."
That alone is huge because - I'm sure you'd guess if you don't know - a lot of the really nasty, hateful, icky sites don't reveal who runs them. Dark web shit.
This isn't just A website, it's the person who registers and hosts websites for a large number of right wing nutjobs on the 'net.
"Epik, the web host and domain registrar for a variety of right-wing sites. Epik’s client list has reportedly ranged from more mainstream conservative groups like the Texas Republican Party to Gab and other far-right sites"
#FashonWatch This year's Met Gala was "THE AMERICAN LEXICON". (I'd thought it was Glamour, my bad.) Okay, so hold that in your head as we slog through ten million photos. A M E R I C A N. I would guess American influences in fashion.
So we start with Rihanna in Balmain. France.
Honestly, A$AP Rocky with her in the quilt/afghan is more American in terms of fashion. How often will I say THAT.
Kiki Layne and Ashton Sanders, no word on designers. Interesting pose, I feel like we're seeing a scene, and I'll give him a few points for not wearing black. Otherwise that's a pretty run of the mill dress.
Okay y'all, gather up some snacks, get a drink (new folks, we do a silly drinking game, I usually have tea, it's all in fun and no booze required, I don't drink myself), buckle up, because I found us a doozy.
Okay. Remember last night I said I’d send photos when I got home? This is the cover of “McQueen: Savage Beauty”, one of three museum catalogs I own. (Other two are Guo Pei and JAR.)
One of his collections was a lot of McQueen tartan.
This is completely a relevant to the topic, but absorb the beauty and realize this is why I’m a snob.
