Also true. I'm well aware who much data they collect and that it is completely obscured and ubiquitous and disgusting.

@mawr @CoronaCoreanici

That means around 3/4ths of the total adult population of the United States (including those with work visas etc) had their personal information compromised by Equifax.

If you exclude people that have never owned a home, rented a home, paid any sort of utility bill, car payment, credit card bill, rental property bill etc.. then that number starts looking very close to 100%.

@foxwitch@queer.af @mawr @CoronaCoreanici

Yup!

@mawr @CoronaCoreanici

145.5 million SSNs + name and addresses DoBs and in many cases driver's licenses and credit card numbers were compromised.

Equifax and the forensic security company hired determined it was impossible to confirm every SSN breached but apparently 145.5 million SSNs were in the databases breached.

Rough napkin math (based on census estimates) says there are around 200m people over the age of 18 in the US in 2017

@mawr @CoronaCoreanici

Equifax's lack of logging, forensic data means there is no real way to find out if you were compromised or not.

@CoronaCoreanici @mawr

The original one did not query any databases, it used an RNG based on system to clock to reply Yes/No.

@CoronaCoreanici @mawr

If you have a US social security number you were affected. Your data was released into the wild and your SSN is compromised.

If you are in the US and you were 18 or older in 2017..

Go get your $125 from equifax.

Apparently I outsmarted myself yesterday.

Was going over a review of the deploy that went sideways yesterday, came back with some remediation items. He was like "Go ahead and take care of those."

Five minutes later I find they are all already done... go check cloudtrail and audit log for internal stuff to find I did them yesterday during the time I spent trying to fix that bad deploy.

I'm sorry mr uk dev... I know it is after 11pm for you but if you want me to run drop database on a production rds database.. you are going to spell out exactly which instance and db in the ticket.. not "the service database" when there are 5 of them

@mawr Changing your own vocabulary is fucking hard. I've been trying to remove *christian derived swears from my curse bank for years... shit is hard.

Pronouns are hard.. language shifts are fucking hard.

*God, any references to other christian figures... because I'm not and never will be christian plus.. Gods damn them sounds so much better.. lets be honest.. why have one god damn someone when you can have multiple! :P

@kelseyhusky Seriously!

This is not something super amazing or anything but I just wrote a cloudformation template from scratch for a full stack deployment with all the monitoring in place to directly integrate with Pagerduty and Slack in about two hours.. And it went off without a hitch.

I feel actually competent at this whole SRE thing beyond advising engineering on best practices and how to implement them. (Which aside from running deploys for some other teams has been my primary role while my other team members handled this sort of work)

@mawr I might have to take some time off and do that once one of my major projects is wrapped up.

Honestly it is a fucking crime the 2.4 turbo in the Ascent isn't available in the Forester. I just have no desire for a vehicle that is that basically a bus..
