Stuff I bookmarked recently. Some off topic, some not:

Revealed: Microsoft Contractors Are Listening to Some Skype Calls
“The Skype audio obtained by Motherboard includes conversations from people talking intimately to loved ones, some chatting about personal issues such as their weight loss, and others seemingly discussing relationship problems. Other files obtained by Motherboard show that Microsoft contractors are also listening to voice commands that users speak to Cortana, the company’s voice assistant.”
Ahem…”talking intimately”… LMAO

Package Delivery! Cybercriminals at Your Doorstep
“What most people don’t realize is that some packages they receive may be looking to steal personal or confidential information. And the proliferation of e-commerce-related package deliveries is exactly what cybercriminals can exploit with a tactic IBM X-Force Red is calling “warshipping.” Warshipping counters these limitations in many ways by using disposable, low-cost and low-power computers to remotely perform close-proximity attacks, regardless of a cybercriminal’s location. Adding to that, warshipping increases target accuracy dramatically. An attacker could control the device from the comfort of their home anywhere in the world.”
Interesting. Ingenious actually. Diabolically so.

Hey Noob
System cleaners are about privacy, not speed.

“Speed up your computer by getting an SSD“. It’s 2019, we all know that now.
