First issue of something new I’m trying: The Internet Brief. This one: Yandex’s data centers going dark, French supermarket fridges, today’s critical PHP flaw (!!), a month of outages, and the South Pole’s satellite hours. First try, so feedback welcome! x.com/i/article/2112…

One in five Irish households uses a "dodgy box", @adrianweckler said on his show today. Many of these boxes quietly rent out the home's Internet connection to strangers as a proxy.

The number of Irish Internet addresses offered for rent this way grew 2.6 times in 18 months, from 107,500 to 280,600. The UK grew 13%.

Five days before the attack, 1,331 of these supermarket fridge dashboards in France were open to the Internet, 53% of all we found worldwide. Within three weeks, 90% of them had been disconnected.

Delve into em dashes (boy, those can still make a come back then)

not yet!
