I don't hold it against them. They have their hands full at the moment with DDOS attacks. The admins are barely able to keep the place running. The beauty of federation is that we can pick and choose where to sail from.

I'm on all the ADHD communities and I appreciate the diversity of servers. Fediverse FTW

After all that walking you must have a dream butt

Isn't it great when a community self moderates? It seems like its been pretty good here for a while. If you still need some extra eyes, I'm on fairly often.

Yeah, its pretty unfortunate. We can't move the community since it's already established.

We are seeing on our corporate network lots of browser hikackers that connect to c&c and are used in botnet DDOS as a service. Once you install x software it sets up a persistent service that keeps modding chrome.exe etc

Firewalling the .exe that you installed does nothing to stop the calls to c&c

Just use an incognito tab. You will get cookies for your browsing session and then when you close the tab, poof they are all gone

Unfortunately the machines that get infected are not fully controlled by us but they get networking and internet from us (space rental in the building), so we isolate them as much as possible and we black hole all the bad traffic on the router level.

Our machines all have EDR and strict security policies. Not much gets past that.
