Working with @spazef0rze is never dull... 🤣 Image
Sadly, this change did not pass our stringent review process. Image
Well.... I really did ask for this didn't I... 🤣🤣 Image
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Image

I bought a phone from a large retailer here in the UK and they shipped a faulty unit. These things happen, so I return it for a refund and they got it on 6th Aug: Image
They had no other phones of the same spec anyway so they said they were going to refund me. By 13th Aug, still no refund. Image
I chased a couple more times and by 14th Sep, still no refund! They say it will now take them 3-5 days to issue a refund: Image

Are you using CSP on your website? You might be getting a patent infringement notice! Buckle up 😎 scotthelme.co.uk/i-turned-on-cs…
We're already working with the @EFF who will hopefully be able to support the cause here, but we need to know about other websites that have received this letter.
If you're legally and/or technically minded, perhaps you could take a look over the letter being sent out: drive.google.com/file/d/1p63IJ6…

@BritishGasHelp @srobertson92 A few things to help you out from your friendly British security researcher:

1) Shorter passwords are easier to remember which is what makes them weak and easy to guess. This means it's more likely someone else will have access to it, not less likely.
@BritishGasHelp @srobertson92 2) Allowing someone to have an easy to remember 8-10 character password doesn't mean you need to prevent someone else from having an ultra-secure 64 character password. It's possible for both of these things to coexist, and they should.
@BritishGasHelp @srobertson92 3) Weak passwords do not protect customer data, they do the opposite and put customer data at risk. We should be encouraging stronger passwords and the use of password managers.

There's been a lot of discussion about OCSP again recently after the Apple incident caused by Big Sur. I've written up some details about what happened and thoughts for what we could/should do about it: scotthelme.co.uk/deja-vu-macos-…
Apple published a support article to address the concerns raised, here are the details and my update based on their comments: scotthelme.co.uk/deja-vu-macos-…
Apple will introduce "A new encrypted protocol for Developer ID certificate revocation checks" but are we talking OCSP over HTTPS or something else?

I'm not sure what's more worrying, that CAs have continued to issue certificates for >398 days or that I'm not surprised that it's happened... 🤷‍♂️
Imagine buying a new certificate that looks like this!
NET::ERR_CERT_VALIDITY_TOO_LONG
Here's the certificate, they definitely missed the deadline:
Validity
Not Before: Sep 1 00:16:16 2020 GMT
Not After : Sep 1 00:16:16 2022 GMT
