An anarchist-oriented Mastodon server has seen one of its admins raided by the FBI. The admin in question was working with an unencrypted backup of the Mastodon server, which was also seized.
They stopped teaching about computers. I tutored high schoolers about 10 years ago and they didn’t know how to use computers fluently. It moved to the realm of expecting parents to teach to their kids along with taxes and career planning.
Speaking of which, I grew up in the 90s pre Internet, and started using the Internet in middle school. Definitely never got any official Internet safety lessons. Maybe I was a little too early? Idk. But by the time I was 30 schools were not teaching this at least from what I saw
The other day, I spoke to an 18 year old who didn’t know the difference between “copy and paste” and “cut and paste”. I want to know what the hell they’re doing in IT classes. Do they just assume that kids these days are good at tech because it’s so ubiquitous? Because that’s a dangerous assumption
Thing is, a lot of this was in hacker OPSEC text files as far back as '1989. The principles haven’t changed overmuch. And, for the most part, it was (and is) all common sense.

I don’t know that they have classes like that
I work in Finance for a big corp. I have people who indirectly work for me that also don’t know this and they’re older than me. It’s crazy.
I’ve taught multiple college students how to copy and paste.
