Okay so. A few things to add here.

The hackers got this data by logging into user accounts on the 23 And Me site by people who reused their credentials (username and password) from other sites that have been breached. This is why it is strongly recommended you do not use duplicate passwords! Especially on sites with critical information (personal emails, banks, health-related sites, etc.).

(Side note, if you want to see if your email account has been part of a breach, you can go to Have I Been Pwned and put in your email address and it will list all of the recorded breaches that email is a part of, when they happened, and what data was stolen. If you haven't changed your password since the last breach, you probably should.)

Back to this hack. The hacker then used those accounts to scrape data from the user profiles of users who were part of an opt-in option called DNA Relatives which connects you to potential matches. While there technically was no breach of 23 & Me systems, it's pretty rotten that anyone could scrape the data like this, and they should be held to task for that.

As for the release of Ashkenazi Jews in the first batch - it sucks, it's probably targeted though no on has explicitly said so yet, and it puts an already vulnerable population into a more vulnerable spotlight in terms of being forcibly identified by whoever buys the data this hacker is selling. There is also apparently several thousands of data files on users with Chinese ancestry that they've seen so far.

What can you do? Unfortunately at this point, not much if you're part of the site. I guess I mostly hope people change their critical passwords if they're reusing them. Password Managers are great (yes, even LastPass, though it is not in my top tier to recommend anymore), but even if you just write passwords down on a piece of paper you hide somewhere nearby, that is less likely to get hacked than using the same password repeatedly on important sites.

(Also please use multifactor authentication where you can.)

(Also length is better than complexity so don't hesitate to use like whole song lyrics or a weird sentence or something instead of p@ssw0rD.)

(Also fuck hackers.)

Jesus fucking Christ. Do not trust any of these fucking ancestry companies with your data.

Four Ways to Encourage Workers to Work Safely

Observing staff members and front-line managers disregarding fundamental safety regulations, let alone attempting to establish an elite safety program, may be incredibly upsetting.

1. Provide rewards for proactive actions. A business will put in place a safety incentive program that only pays staff members for not getting into mishaps or getting hurt. Compose a formal policy that outlines the objectives, advantages, awards, and behaviors that will receive recognition. Ensure that safety efforts don't stagnate by getting people in the organization to see the "big vision" in this regard.

2. Audit your company often in order to make improvements. You can focus your efforts to guarantee that progress is reached by objectively assessing your safety program and procedures. Create metrics that assess important domains, behaviors, and activities that lead to the intended results outlined in the written policies, the company's objectives, and the training goals. Assessments of individuals, divisions, and the entire company may be part of an audit program.

3. Obtain support initially from management or ownership. At the very least, you should concentrate on persuading higher-ups to endorse initiatives to adhere to OSHA standards and hold workers responsible when they disregard anticipated safety procedures. It is insufficient to instill dread simply mentioning OSHA laws and the potential penalties for breaking them.

4. Keep workers accountable on a regular basis. Workers are far less likely to adhere to even the most basic standards, let alone continuously strive for improvement, if they perceive that breaking safety regulations can be done so without facing repercussions. Establish clear repercussions for breaking safety regulations so that people understand what happens. Staff members should be incentivized to adhere to regulations and making sure the cove cameras are also upgraded for a transparent management.

Although every business will face different obstacles, these suggestions, when properly applied, can have a significant influence on any safety program.

What a healthy, secure relationship looks like

He communicates consistently and clearly. Replies promptly, doesn't leave you on seen, checks up on you throughout the day/week according to his schedule and in agreement with your needs as well.

He pays attention to your needs and desires and quirks, and makes your life better using said details. Ie. buys your favorite kind of flowers, makes your favorite tea in the morning, remembers your food allergies when having dinner dates, etc.

Disagreements may still appear even in health relationships, and it's ok, as communication is essentual for a healthy dynamic. However, his approach to disagreements is a secure one: each will share their perspective, and if feelings were hurt or mistakes were made, he takes accountability for his side, and makes genuine apologies followed by reparations and direct actions (ie. "I'm sorry I did x, I didn't mean to hurt you. I will be/do y in the future", and then does as he promised).

Promises are kept. His actions are in alignment with his words, and he keeps his words. If he says he'll call you after work, he does. If he says he needs to cool off during an argument and will reopen the conversation in 1h, he does indeed return in 1h to continue the topic.

If you're anxious, he will reassure you and work through it. He doesn't run away or avoid the topic (as an avoidantly attached person would).

If you come forward communicating your needs, or sharing complaints or grievances, he will hear you out and actively seek a way to improve things. He won't freak out, or get angry or run away in response to you having needs or communicating your thoughts; these are normal relationship things you're entitled to, and a securely attached man knows this.

A man that is well-rounded, with a secure attachment style, will have a rich life of his own: hobbies, interests, circles of friends, activities, etc. He will enjoy having his independence and space, and will respect your need for your own. He is not co-dependent, nor gets in the way of you having your own life outside of him. He knows having individually rich lives is important for a healthy relationship. To expand on this, he encourages you to enjoy your selfcare time, your girl's night out, or whatever other activities nourish you.

Application Security Tools in CI/CD Pipeline

The CI/CD process has multiple stages, and so you’ll need many security tools at each stage for continuous monitoring of apps, tracking anomalies, vulnerabilities, etc. For example, a static application security test (SAST) tool is run after a pre-commit check.

In addition, issues arising during incremental SAST testing must be resolved quickly. The challenge is the heterogeneity of these security tools and their integration issues.

🌙UNDER THE WEATHER☀️

I DREW THESE YESTERDAY SINCE I'VE BEEN FEELING A LITTLE SICK LATELY AND I'VE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE DRAWING THE BEANS IN SUFFERING SO Y NOT, SORRY MOONY 😂😂😂

WHEN IM FEELING SICK MY STOMACH USUALLY ACTS UP AND AND IT HURTS REALLY BAD. IT ALSO DOESN'T HELP THAT ON A NORMAL DAY IM ALREADY SENSITIVE TO THINGS LIKE SMELL, TOUCH, AND SOUND, BUT IT GETS MORE EVEN WORSE WHEN IM SICK AND EVERY LITTLE THING SETS ME OFF.

I GET REALLY IFFY AND UNSTEADY WHEN SICK SO I TRY MY BEST TO NOT MOVE MUCH BUT ITS REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE.

SINCE I DREW MOONY GOING THROUGH PAIN I DREW SUNNY DOING THINGS THAT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER WHEN SICK.

I USUALLY LOOSE MY APPETITE WHEN SICK BUT I KNOW IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO EAT WELL AND DRINK LOTS OF LIQUIDS. IF I CAN'T EAT I TRY MY BEST TO AT LEAST DRINK TEA OR APPLE CIDER IT REALLY HELPS, WHEN MY TUMMY HURTS I LIKE EATING DARK CHOCOLATE/MINT CHOCOLATES AND SALTED CRACKERS TO FEEL BETTER.

ODD AS IT IS WHEN IM LAYING UPSIDE DOWN WITH MY LEGS AGAINST THE WALL IT HELPS MY TUMMY PAINS, (I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WORKS FOR EVERYONE BUT ITS SOMETHING I DO AS ENTERTAINMENT AND COMFORT) NICE WARM BLANKETS AND COMFORT OBJECTS ALWAYS HELP ME FEEL BETTER.

WHEN IM FEELING OVER STIMULATED OR STRESSED I LIKE PUTTING ON MY HEADPHONES AND HEARING MUSIC, IF I GET THE CHANCE I TRY TO STAY IN DARK QUIET SPACES AND STAY NEAR THINGS THAT R SOOTHING TO ME, LIKE SCENTED CANDLES OR OLD CLOTHES MY NANA GAVE ME (THEY HAVE COMFORTING MEMORIES AND HELP ME THINK OF HER)

AND AFTER A LONG DAY OF HURTING TUMMY PAINS ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE A NICE WARM BATH/SHOWER TO RELAX THE MUSCLES, FEEL NICE AND CLEAN. ITS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO TAKE CARE OF URSELF WHEN SICK AND ITS OK TO ASK FOR HELP WHEN NEEDED.
