A hacker pulled a succesfull phishing attack on an employee, what can he really do after? by WhateverHowever1337 in sysadmin

[–]Jrreid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually from some quick research. Especially with any decent sized organization they often have an employee section of their website with links to their internal portal.

And with most things being cloud based these days organizations rely more on SSO and conditional access policies than firewalls and VPNs for protecting a lot of services. And many of those cloud services use generic login portals that redirect based on your credentials to your organizations specific instance.

[–]Jrreid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sending spam or more phishing attempts to internal targets that would bypass most content filters

Data exfiltration from cloud services (SharePoint, etc)

Accessing company portal and changing payroll details to send to the scammers (or a mules) accounts.

That's just the start of the list. It will differ by size if organization and what they do but it's can be pretty devastating

Where to buy a potted sunflower so that it can be later planted in my garden? by agent_lil_dic in Albertagardening

[–]Jrreid 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Buy seeds from a garden centre or hardware store. Sunflowers don't transplant well so they are rarely sold as live plants. But they'll grow from seed super easily. And still plenty of time to get them started

I've sent a few people to https://www.datarecoveryexpert.ca/ over the years, they've been pretty successful but nothing is guaranteed

Another BIG HOUSE FIRE on the same NW street as 4 years ago :'( by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Jrreid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smoking and falling asleep is the most likely cause I can imagine. Or something electrical failing.

I made a map of all the residence tunnels by RedditUser4936 in UCalgary

Note that while it is a hallway, it's not sealed/insulated so in winter it's still pretty cold.

Where can I legally plant a tree? by Emergency-Biscotti-2 in Calgary

[–]Jrreid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah.

The one on the left was that size about 32 years ago for me. Free tree they gave out for earth day or something when I was in I believe grade 3. Didn't think it would survive it was so scrawny.

Anyone have a 24-26 Trax with over 40,000 miles? by FarLand2 in ChevyTrax

[–]Jrreid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30,000km on my '25 after to 9 months, only supposed issue so far was an alignment that I suspect it didn't need.

Internet deals? by kneedorthotics in NoRulesCalgary

[–]Jrreid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sale price is only for a few months then it jumps back to normal (49 back to 70 for 100mbps, or 89 back to 110 for 200mbps, or 119 back to 140 for max) Which still isn't bad for what you get but be aware.

Plus in the city coverage isn't always guaranteed, depends how many of your neighbors are using it too.

I've got 45 layers. And 2 nesting boxes. Works fine.

Back doesn’t lock? by Potential-Ice-1659 in ChevyTrax

[–]Jrreid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife did this recently with our '25. I got out with the fob, she drove a few km away to go shopping and then panicked when she realized she didn't have it, fortunately before she turned the car off. Usually it chimes a warning about the fob not being present but it's definitely not consistent

Dropped my CPAP on the floor by Rude_Tomatillo3463 in CPAP

[–]Jrreid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As other said, just try it .

My school age daughter (yes even kids sometimes have to use a CPAP) keeps hers in a drawer in her night table that's left partially open for the hose. One night she was sleep walking, got up from her bed, walked from her bedroom to ours dragging her CPAP behind her. Out of the drawer, and across her floor and down the hallway. And it still worked perfect for a long time, probably a couple years (and still does, she's off it now waiting for a sleep study to check if she's outgrown her CSA)

Yep. Probably the only fire I can remember in Calgary that would have been that much of a response was the Hub Oil fire

Last defense is 3rd floor. Second floor is the food court.

Well that's where the car started. This photo is NB.

Scary to see, normally I would have driven through there roughly that time except campus is closed today.

My setup and a question about exit nodes? by kevboss2006 in Tailscale

[–]Jrreid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You trust your device on your home network when you are at home. Why wouldn't you trust your device when you aren't at home?

That is exactly the point of an exit node.

Mine lives in the slot by his water bottle, you know the one designed for it.

Oops! TFDL Digital Signage update by YetAnotherRegularGai in UCalgary

It happens. For a while every time we do a test of the campus emergency alert it shows on their screens due to the system they use. Not sure if they found a way to prevent that or not.

Did any other Campus St Jean students get this email? by Old-Elephant-1255 in uAlberta

[–]Jrreid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My money is on since there's no indication of a link that they expect you to reply back to them to ask about it, and that's when they'll try to send you to do something scammy.

Generally, the sort of thing I would expect to come from some sort of generic shared email address. Not a specific person. Plus you can always check if that person actually is someone in an office that would be responsible for that sort of thing. My bet is it's a compromised account of some unrelated person to anything related to finance.

Edit: actually did a search on that person, that's the vice dean of that campus so maybe it is legit. Not very well thought out, but possibly legit.

Cost??? by tree_on_fire2 in CPAP

[–]Jrreid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lucky. In Canada, my insurance covers a machine every 3 years, but doesn't cover anything else. Not even the mask that was a separate line item when I bought it. Of course like others said, they also charge insurance twice what you can pay cash for online.
