Just had a weird "recruiter email" supposedly for a job at Infosys that makes wonder if Infosys got hacked.

The Gmail address it came to I use only for things like alerts, so that is odd enough, but the job is on-site in Atlanta, GA; Charlotte, NC; or Raleigh, NC, so the sender clearly knows nothing about me other than this email and that I have Java experience. They even asked if I’d worked for Infosys before and whether I have Work Authorization, and didn’t suggest Austin, Texas, which was within driving distance of where I used to live. What made me think Infosys might have been hacked was the email from Brass Ring requesting that I forward info to sowmyashree.2127460@infosys.com. That can’t be a real email address, can it? If it is, Infosys really needs to up its recruiting game. Who relocates these days? If you are so behind that you don’t have WFH, then hire local. The cost of moving a family is extremely high and very painful. It just makes no sense. If it’s a scam, they must have access to Infosys' email system. I guess the third option is that Brass Ring is sending out emails to random addresses with made-up contact email addresses to try to get people to visit their site. Seems unlikely though.

In the best case, it was spam, so I reported it and blocked the sender since I’m not looking for a job. Especially with a recruiter this clueless.

Sophisticated Drones Attacked Louisiana's Barksdale Bomber Base

It’s funny how both the UAP detection movement and the rogue drone threat rely on essentially the same hardware, but due to UAP stigma, only UAP groups seem to be building a sensor network. We should promote consumer passive radar setups, like those used for weather, air quality, and ADS-B, which already cover the US. Sophisticated Drones Attacked Louisiana’s Barksdale Bomber Base

We can’t compete, so we’re banning them, citing a security risk. This seems to be a recurring theme. Cameras, drones, and now routers. Note: Starlink Wi-Fi routers are currently the primary consumer routers made in the USA. FCC Bans Imports of New Foreign-Made Routers Over Security Concerns

I was just interrupted by a call with a caller ID/phone number of St. David’s hospital, but it turned out to be an AI trying to sell me solar panels. I guess this is the new normal.

Another phone scam going around

So many things are wrong with this voicemail. First off, I only use that line as a backup for outbound calls, so no one should know the number. The calling number is not even a valid number, as 618 is not a valid country code. Next, it implies an Amazon.com purchase was made, but without any details. I can see how someone receiving this call on their main line might press 1 to find out what is going on. But this is a scam.

Is Everything you say to your Echo will be sent to Amazon starting on March 28 real?

The article Everything you say to your Echo will be sent to Amazon starting on March 28 is going around today. But I’m signed up for early access to Alexa+ but have not seen this. Plus the bandwidth required for all my devices to continuous stream to Amazon would be a serious hit on upload bandwidth. If fact on the privacy section of the Alex+ information page of the Amazon site it says the opposite.

If you have not heard about the FREEDOM Administration Login story you should really watch the video. I set the start to the story but you might want to go further back to hear about how getting Chinese hackers out of our phone system is about impossible as well.

Scammers are working overtime.

Just had 4 calls back to back from caller ID “Chase Bank” with completely different numbers each time. Spoofed numbers for Chase branches in Lake Havasu City, AZ, Hoover, AL, Auburn, AL, and Chandler, AZ. Interesting choices given those are 2 states I’ve never visited. All were hangups of course but no alerts have been triggered at Chase so I think I can safely say were scam calls.
