Open Facebook and scroll. Every time ICE comes up the content is exclusively positive (and no I don't feed the trolls and bring this algorithm on myself).
It's not all bots. Some people back this push, and FB is where they hang.
I don't think this stuff is why people will be pulled out of line at CBP, but it will inform why they are bounced, should they otherwise come to the attention of the authorities. They don't need a bloom filter over 1m entrants, they need something they can say "because" when they toss you out.
I like to implement independent mail systems. No SSO BS. IT enters the password into the mail client while setting up the laptop and phone. The boss can't be phished if he doesn't know his password (or if the password has no use on the internet).
I also like to put everything behind a VPN (again no SSO). But the bigger the company gets, sooner or later this will come to an end. Because it's not "best practice" to not be phishable. Apparently what is needed are layers and layers of BS "security" products that can be tricked by a kid that has heard of JS. https://browser.security
Those checklists are frequently answered like this:
"Hey it says we need to do mobile management and can't just let people manage their own phones. Looks like we'll buy Avanti mobile manager". Same conversation I've seen play out with generally secure routers being replaced with Fortigates that have major vulnerabilities every week because the checklist says you must be doing SSL interception.
Easy answer here - nearly every LOB app we have uses MSSQL.
I've had engineers want to talk about syncing it to MySQL using some custom plumbing so that they can build a reporting infra around their MySQL stack, but it's just another layer of complexity over having code just use Microsoft's reporting services.
I'll add, having finance people with Excel really like being able to pull data directly from MSSQL, they do not like hearing about a technican's python app.
That movie will be quite case study in media bias. Depending who is reporting on my social media feed, it was either the most successful movie of all time with every single showing at capacity, the run being extended, and gen z girls being the main demographic for a movie certain to clean up awards. Or it was a flop that lost money.
It can be both! You can fill up the seats with people that you pay to watch it!
You can also look it up on Rotten Tomatoes where it currently has a 99/100 audience score and then look it up on IMDB, where it has 1.3/10. I personally believe none of the two are completely legitimate, but I think it's pretty obvious which of the two is more astroturfed.
Instead of both-sides-ing this, you can look at objective data. Here's BoxOfficeMojo: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl4287397889/. Right now it says $8.1M in the US, $75k worldwide. Not bad for a movie that cost $40M to make and about as much to market, huh?
One rationalisation I've heard is that it made more money than expected for a documentary. If we take that at face value, it's worth asking why Bezos felt the need to pay Melania tens of millions more than the budget for the typical documentary.
Your case study in media bias writes itself. All it took was a google search.
I've sat in some pretty large orgs and my own experience was the "resources allocated" went to the PR team. I can assure you that they would have had a more boring, corporate sounding announcement with multiple references to their legal team and the actions they would have taken, alongside some useless information about being PCI compliant or something. I'm not convinced the practical output is any better.
Whilst thats important advice, as far as I can tell it wouldnt help here as no passwords are breached. I had a few of our domain users on this report and as far as I can tell theres nothing actionable.
I have always wondered how this would go if you applied for a loan through your bank. Or a rental that wanted 'last three months financial transactions' in the application.
I'm confused by what you mean (I'm an American though).
I don't think I'm unique for putting miscellaneous stuff like this on a credit card, and not even necessarily the one my bank offers. Not to hide the transaction, but because charging to debit/checking would make tracking my monthly expenses less straightforward. Payments online are also safer on credit in case a chargeback is required.
Also, are you sure you don't mean "proof of employment" showing the last three months of direct deposits? I've never heard of anyone asking for any other transactions. Similarly, pretty sure loan applications are based on credit reports. Transactions aren't relevant unless they got flagged for something so bad they showed up in the credit report (fraud, missed/late payments, etc).
All the properties ive rented over the last decade required an application with "full financial transaction history" for three months. I know ive submitted a statement before where a lot of expenses were "paying off credit card" and they complained the credit card expenses werent shown. I would have to imagine a rental agent looking at months worth of pornhub spending is going to count it against you.
Ive never been hit by something like this but I have friends who have:
That's absurd and error prone for even the most cooperative of tenants. What does "full financial transaction history" even mean? Lazy and corrupt is what it means.
If they're too cheap to pay for a basic background check, there's no telling what kind of shady people will be your neighbors or how unmaintained those apartments are. Just find somewhere else or provide the bare minimum that will convince them (checking account only). Clearly they have no way to find what else you have, and nobody else is taking this that literally.
Whilst I agree in principle, its a bit like saying "never apply for a job that requires whiteboard coding or leetcode questions". Our rental market is abysmal and people can spent months sitting through rejections, without doing more of their own.
I once rented a place where you needed either a decent credit rating or three months of full bank statements to prove income. (Paycheck stubs were not deemed sufficient.) Very invasive, fortunately I passed the requirements and didn’t need to provide that info.
