How a big company tries to get freeCodeCamp.org to publish their articles only behind their paywall
First Medium tries to offer them money, but what to do if people are not interested in money, if they only want to share their knowledge with everyone for free, so that everyone can profit from this knowledge?
Quite simply, they try to threaten you with a lawyer and legal steps.
This is a good example of why you should definitely run your own blog and not get involved with any greedy media sharks.
freecodecamp.org/ has now learned his lesson and no longer has his blog on medium.com, they now have their own blog where they can share their knowledge for free
❗️Knowledge should be freely available to everyone
Such media platforms as medium.com should be boycotted. There are enough alternatives #thinkabout

My GPT-3 Blog Got 26 Thousand Visitors in 2 Weeks
The future of online media
What does it mean when a computer can write about our problems better than we can?
People have been talking a lot about GPT-3, but more as a novelty than a tool (don’t know what GPT-3 is? look here). Some clever people have even figured out how to get it to generate code from descriptions. Yet, I think that the best use cases lie outside of tech.
I believe that GPT-3 has the potential to change the way we write. But I can’t just tell that to people, most of them won’t believe it. People need at least some proof before they begin to take these things seriously.
So I made proof.
Over the last two weeks, I’ve been promoting a blog written by GPT-3.

Who reports the “low hanging fruit” security issues?
Some time ago, I came across this article on Hacker News. I recommend you read the whole thing. But in short: A social media site for woman called “Giggle” used an API that pretty much exposed every users data, if you did so much as to request it. This is called an IDOR vulnerability.
The “barrier of entry” is very low here. Installing BurpSuite might have actually been the hardest part of it all.
I always found these types of “hacks” the most interesting. Mostly because they don’t require any experience in offensive security. You don’t need to be an professional pentester to know basic API debugging. Even I could do something like this! In fact, I still sometimes hack myself into leaderboards of browser games like this one.
These kind of “easy to pick” targets are often referred to as “low hanging fruit”. There is no complicated setup or mentionable work required to just grab an apple from a low hanging branch. Same thing was true for hacking Giggle.
And these types of incidents are all but rare. Just search the web for “unsecured elasticsearch instance”. Also, it doesn’t just affect userdata neither. There have been IDOR issues on car control systems. One could literally stop, lock and unlock cars thanks to a certain API endpoint that required no authentication.
