And this tale of spam would be funny if it weren’t actually happening! (Via Dane Carlson )

Looks like AOL is back to blocking Trillian again today. I give up, I’m not going to download new versions of Trillian every other day just so I can talk to my wife online. (She’s the only AIM user I talk to.) I’ll just yell up the stairs at her..*L*

    Linked: Hidden Dangers of Microsoft 365’s Power Automate and eDiscovery Tools

    Look, we’ve always had this issue in the eDiscovery space, in order to put data on hold, and collect it as part of a lawsuit, someone has to be able to access all of it. That means there has to be an account somewhere with unlimited access to both search, and collect, tons of data from your environment, as necessary.
