New VPN vulnerability has been making the news lately. It's called the TunnelVision Vulnerability and relies on an "option 121" setting, which causes the network's DHCP server to override default routing rules that send VPN traffic, instead, diverting the data to the DHCP server itself. And if the DHCP server is a rogue server maliciously attached to the network, then traffic security is compromised. But to work, someone has to have access to the network to insert the rogue server. So you're safe at home, but perhaps not safe in the coffee shop, or other public networks. Unless the VPN runs on Linux or an Android device, since Android devices don't use option 121.

It seems that others have noticed that the media is flip-flopping on the vax now. They're trying to retcon what they said in 2020. Trust lost.
And now, more info is leaking that Pfizer intended there to be a separate batch of vax product for their workers, as opposed to that for the general public.

Optum has agreed not to enforce the non-compete clause regarding the Oregon Medical Group in Eugene.  Well, since the SCOTUS scuttled non-competes, I don't think they had a choice. But is it too late now for those patients?  What kind of providers will Optum get to replace the docs who have left?

Making chat hallucination-free. Invetech is incorporating Deterministic Quoting, which is putting a blue box around text that is taken directly from the source, without modification. (Sorta like turning the temperature setting to 0.)
