The Browser Poll

 Which browser do you use? Thanks for any boosts! I wanna know!


Oh cool! More internet points! I made this poll and it got some attention so I thought I'd share it. 

The first 54 votes of 26,177 were erased after I edited the poll. If you edit a poll's options, such as adding one, all of the votes go back to zero. Oops. I forgot to add safari, and are large amount of people let me know. The most popular "other" answer was  Vivaldi. Other popular answers were versions of Chromium and DuckDuckGo. 

While this was the final results, for a majority of the time, Firefox has a much stronger lead against Chrome. The poll started first around infosec.exchange when the lead was large, and as the poll moved around the fediverse, the gap narrowed. 

A couple other comments sounded like "Why only one option" or why they picked their particular browser. I definitely got the information I was looking for. Check out the post for more replies and cool facts! 

Edit 12/4: After hearing negative comments about Brave's CEO (I haven't researched this myself, so excuse any ambiguity) and all of the responses about Vivaldi, I have migrated.

Anti-Phishing Working Group Report from Q2 2023

 The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) is an international coalition focused on unifying the global response to cybercrime, particularly phishing and e-mail fraud. Established in 2003, APWG brings together businesses, government entities, law enforcement, and non-governmental organizations to combat phishing, crimeware, and e-mail spoofing.They create regular reports on the nature of phishing "in the wild" and share trends in this report. You can download the report here .  I wanted to report on a more recent trend report, but at the time of writing I haven't seen a newer one. It being in the middle of 2023, I believe the report is recent enough.  I found a few areas of interest, and questioned a few pieces. There was a reported downward trend in phishing. Despite the high numbers, there was a notable downward trend in phishing by the end of the quarter, indicating a possible shift in tactics or improved countermeasures. I have doubt that phishing is occurring less,...

Print Media is Back, Baby!

 I’ve started a new project: pocket-sized zines that explain tech, hacking, and DIY tools in a way that’s quick, sharp, and easy to share. Each zine is eight pages, printed on a single sheet, folded down into a mini guide you can toss in your bag or pass along to someone curious. I was inspired by some other zines online , and some of them may interest you too! Check out them here:  Really Basic Digital Security Books Unbanned Here are the folding instructions if you need them! Sometimes cutting the paper is required.  These aren’t polished manuals — they’re  hackery field notes . The goal is to cut through jargon and give you just enough to understand, experiment, and explore. Here’s what’s out so far: AI & Your Privacy Why & How to Wardrive Make an Internet-in-a-Box There are many more coming out soon! So keep your eyes peeled. Print these and share them in your local coffee shop, local small businesses, libraries, co-working spaces, and clubs! Feel free t...
