Happy Friday everyone!

This is another shoutout to all those trying to get into tech! Here is a great resource to look for that job that may just get your foot in the door. It allows you to filter on a bunch of different job categories and locations, top tech jobs by company, and more. I will let you know that I have never used this site to gain employment, nor have I actively pursued employment using this site, it is just something that someone in my feed made me aware of and after checking it out, I thought I would share with everyone else! Enjoy and Happy Job Hunting!

Hey infosec peeps, anyone got an inside scoop on what's going on with these bogus co-authored commit tags on GitHub? The attackerDOS/B repo has been taken down, so I can't look at the commits that I supposedly co-authored. I have FIDO2 MFA on my account, so I'm reasonably certain that no one could have actually committed code to this repo under my account, but I'm also not super familiar with how co-authoring works.
