    But an analysis released by security experts at Metamask and Paradigm finds the most likely explanation for what happened is that Squarespace assumed all users migrating from Google Domains would select the social login options — such “Continue with Google” or “Continue with Apple” — as opposed to the “Continue with email” choice.

    Taylor Monahan, lead product manager at Metamask, said Squarespace never accounted for the possibility that a threat actor might sign up for an account using an email associated with a recently-migrated domain before the legitimate email holder created the account themselves.

    “Thus nothing actually stops them from trying to login with an email,” Monahan told KrebsOnSecurity. “And since there’s no password on the account, it just shoots them to the ‘create password for your new account’ flow. And since the account is half-initialized on the backend, they now have access to the domain in question.”

  6. Comment on Inside Ziklag, the secret organization of wealthy Christians trying to sway the US election and change the country in ~humanities

    Ziklag, an invitation-only charity organization for rich Christians, aims to take dominion over what it sees as the seven major spheres of public life, which it calls “mountains”: business, science and technology, family, arts and media, church, education and government.

    The little-known charity is backed by famous conservative donors, including the families behind Hobby Lobby and Uline. It’s spending millions to make a big political push for this election — but it may be violating the law.

    The study also used that phrasing. It actually refers to the deaths being above the expected number for the given year, not that the outcome (of passing the abortion ban) was unexpected.

    To contextualize these deaths, the study also reported a 22.9% increase in infant deaths attributed to congenital abnormalities in Texas. The rest of the country saw a 3.1% decrease.

    I also self-host FreshRSS but use Reeder (Mac) and Read You (Android) for consumption. For all the FreshRSS users out there, what extensions (if any) are you using?

    Seems quite involved but not beyond the capabilities of anyone familiar with self-hosting. The email stuff seems like the most difficult thing to sort out. I can see why many would just pay for Ghost to host their newsletter.

    I can't imagine her panic when Substack replied saying they couldn't disconnect her Stripe account from Substack without canceling all existing paid subscriptions. Really putting Substack's promises about writer control to the test.

    That's because YOLO already exists. And of course it's a cannabis ETF.
