Do not copy paste code on Stackoverflow
ameyvaidya.substack.comIt's funny because this goes both ways. So often people copy and paste the code from an answer without looking closely at it and understanding it. In some cases potentially opening themselves up to some major issues.
But yeah. Just like how many Github repositories have passwords and other secure files. Stackoverflow is shockingly full of people who pasted in secure information trying to find an answer.
I am starting to think OpSec needs to be a first year course for engineers and computer science majors.
Yep. I agree OpSec is truly important. But you know we (university) wont teach you that :)
Which is sad. Social engineering and operational security are like as, if not more, important as financial literacy in today's society.
