URL protection services are designed to protect users from visiting malicious websites via a phishing link. Whenever a URL is included in an email, the service will copy it, rewrite it, then embed the original URL within the rewritten one.

If the email recipient clicks on this “wrapped” link, an email security scan of the original URL is triggered. If the scan is clear, the user is redirected to the URL. If not, they are blocked from entering the original URL.

How URL Protection Services Are Exploited

In these novel attacks, threat actors gain entry to the URL protection service via compromised accounts, and leverage it to re-write their own phishing URLs, thereby concealing their malicious nature – essentially turning the service on itself.

This enables them to impersonate the account owners and infiltrate and examine their email communications as well as sending emails from the compromised account. This tactic is known as conversation hijacking.

In addition, threat actors will be able to determine whether a URL protection service is being used by analyzing links in emails connected to the account or in the user’s email signature.

To leverage the URL protection to rewrite their own phishing URLs, the researchers noted the attackers would either need to have access to internal systems to get the phishing URL rewritten, which is “exceedingly rare,” or more likely, send an outbound email to themselves using the compromised accounts, with the phishing link included in the message.

The new research indicates that it works by interfering with a brain’s “dynamic stability”—a state where neurons can respond to input, but the brain is able to keep them from getting too excited. 

To find out how propofol achieves that disruption, the MIT team looked at electrical recordings from parts of the brain tied to vision, sound processing, spatial awareness, and executive function in animals that had been dosed with the drug. They then compared those measurements to some that were taken before propofol was administered. 

They found that the conscious animal brains showed increased neural activity after input like a sound or a new sight and then returned to a baseline level. But under the effects of propofol, the brain did some odd things. Previous research has shown that animals given the drug lose consciousness but maintain cognition and brain activity—basically, your brain can still process things like sound and smell, even if you’re not aware of it. The team, which published their findings on Monday in the journal Neuron*, *found that this effect may be due to the brain taking longer to return to its baseline after a sensory input while on the anesthetic, sending brain activity “into chaos,” as one neuroscientist put it.

Agreed. My point was that it has not having mandatory reporting doesn’t hinder transparency.

Teaching is already an impossible job without gender reporting nonsense.

As long as the recipient denies spoofed From: addresses, yes. There are still mail services out there that let spoofed email in.

Preventing the requirement doesn’t tie the teacher’s hands in any way.

California governor Gavin Newsom signed a first-in-the-nation law Monday barring school districts from passing policies that require schools to notify parents if their child asks to change their gender identification.

The law bans rules requiring school staff to disclose a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation to any other person without the child’s permission. Proponents of the legislation say it will help protect LGBTQ+ students who live in unwelcoming households. But opponents say it will hinder schools’ ability to be more transparent with parents.

It was a long time ago.

Yes. My system wasn’t compromised. They just put my address as their From: address. I got bounces.
