Eric Mann (ericmann@tekton.network)'s status on Thursday, 27-Jun-2024 08:01:33 JST Eric Mann Finding out how to report a potential security breach to a gov't-affiliated organization is ... hard. It should not be this hard.
The only means of contacting within the Good to Go! system is a standard form where you have to disclose your address, license plate, and customer ID/statement #. That's just ridiculous!

About a year ago, my wife took a road trip to Seattle. I signed up for WA state's "GoodToGo" app to pay for toll usage. I get a monthly statement now about our $0 balance as we don't frequent WA.
I just logged in. And Google alerted me that the password I used had recently been found in a data breach.
🤔🤔🤔🤔
It's a unique, 32-character random password stored in #1Password. I don't use it anywhere else...
Anyone want to tell the state of WA their toll payment system has been breached?

I bank at a small, local credit union. I recently cleared my autocomplete settings so plugged their name into #Google to get back to their homepage.
The Sponsored result IS NOT my bank's website. But is skinned the same. 100% a #phishing site served as a Google ad above the legitimate business website.
This is a major problem, my friends.

Eric Mann (ericmann@tekton.network)'s status on Tuesday, 22-Nov-2022 14:50:22 JST Eric Mann Last week, I took a day off to care for sick family. My daughter noticed I wasn't locked away in an office and took the opportunity to ask what it was I actually do while I was working.
"I write code on the computer."
What's code?
"I write down instructions so a computer know what to do."
Like when you press a button on your phone and the garage opens like magic?
"Yeah, like that."
Wow. You're magical. Like Elsa in Frozen. You make magic.
I think I'm going to go rewrite my resume now ;-)
