I don't know about you peeps, but I am getting a large uptick in spam mail. Especially since I tried to log onto Facebook recently.

But I use Thunderbird, so it strips these web bugs out.

The defenses for this are annoying, I need them when I run phishing campaigns for clients.

Oh! You are 'that' guy?

I hope someone breaks into your place and puts all your CDs in the wrong cases.

Blame the IT guys, they hire me.

It's funny though, microsoft safe senders list is the main issue with clients. You can by pass it with a pretty simple powershell script, but it's beyond the capability of most IT teams. It hurts.

I am only bitter because my company caught me one time on those. I wouldn't have clicked on the link to 'Check on my Help Desk Ticket', if I hadn't have sent a request to the Help Desk an hour before.

Otherwise, I would have been suspicious.

I got caught cause I was having a hair on fire day and just like opened and click and as I was reading the email while it loaded I was like welp fuck. I knew before it loaded. It did tell me to slow down.

But yes, I'm one of those. I might make one for vaccines next.
