2023.03.19 18:46 IamParadoxdotexe Getting login error on only some sites with Chrome 1P
After getting 1Password, I'm starting to see some weird behavior with logging in on specific sites. On some select sites, trying to login (using 1P or manually) results in an error or just nothing happening. I know this isn't a credential issue, since I can open the website in an incognito window and login to the site just fine. The sites I've seen this issue on are:
All of my other logins work just fine. My naive assumption was that the 1P Google extension is somehow blocking some type of authenticate mechanism, but I haven't been able to track down any console logs or network requests that back this up.
Anyone run into this issue before?

2023.03.16 18:28 gingerella19 Entitled Roommate Makes Me Pay for WiFi I’m Not Using
So this was a few of years ago. I (28F at the time) met my roommate (28F) on Facebook (we’ll call her Brandi) in the Marketplace section (my first mistake). I was struggling to find a place and found this place that was close to my work and within my price range. Brandi had lived in the apartment for a couple of years already and was looking for someone to split the cost of rent since it had gone up. We seemed to hit it off initially and after seeing the apartment in person, I agreed to co-lease with her and split the cost of utilities. I’m going to be honest, I was 90% sure this would be fine but that remaining 10% was the part of me saying, “It’s fine now but something is slightly off about her.”
I reeeeeeaally should have listened to that 10%.
Let me paint you a brief picture of Brandi: She came from a lower-upper class family so she was relatively well off. She was somewhat down to earth but sometimes her ignorance and entitlement showed through very clearly.
One example of her ignorance was when she one commented on how the water in her boyfriend’s apartment (first floor in a building on the bottom of the hill we lived on) always seemed to get hotter faster than the hot water in our apartment (third floor in a building at the top of the hill we lived on). I kind of shrugged it off, until she proceeded to say that it was because it took the hot water longer to travel up to our apartment. I immediately did a double-take and asked her to clarify. Did she mean “travel from the lower floor in our building to our floor”? “No,” she said, “from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill where our apartment was.” I tried explaining to her that that’s not how hot water works but she kept insisting that it was, so I just dropped it. Once Brandi had made up her mind that she was right, there was absolutely no changing it, no matter how much information you presented.
Another time, her boyfriend got her a very lovely arrangement of red, pink and purple roses for Valentine’s Day. Now if you’ve ever ordered flowers, especially for Valentine’s day, you’ll know that they can get EXPENSIVE. And this was a very full bouquet so it must have been easily $100-$150. I came home and commented on how beautiful they were and how sweet it was that he got her flowers. She scoffed and said, “Yeah, but they look like the standard cheap arrangement you could get anywhere. I’m making him buy me new ones.” I was so shocked, all I could really say was, “Oh,” and walk over to my room.
So on to the main story I came to tell here.
When I moved in, Brandi said she would pay the bills for utilities since they were already in her name and just asked that I Venmo my half to her. She’d send me an itemized breakdown every month in the form of a funds request in Venmo and I would just pay her my half. I guess, in hindsight, it was a really naive thing to do but I agreed.
So one day, I came home from work when she was getting the internet set up at the apartment. When I moved in, I asked for the password to the WiFi and she sent me a screenshot of a router with a long generated password, then mentioned she was getting it set up later that week. I thought that was odd, but I thought maybe she was setting up a specific WiFi just for her work. So when the technician gave her the password, I, of course, asked for it. She froze for a moment, like she was contemplating if she should. Then I asked, “Or am I supposed to just use the original one you gave me? Like, is this one separate?” She quickly said, “Yes, just keep using that one.” I didn’t think anything of it and agreed.
For the next four months, I continued to pay my half for the WiFi without another thought. I did think it was strange that sometimes, I would plug my Amazon Fire TV into the TV in the living room and it would buffer a lot, but when she would use her Apple TV, the connection was always smooth. I didn’t get an answer until one day, my boyfriend (we’ll call him Mark) was over. We were hanging out in the living room when my roommate wasn’t home and wanted to connect his Nintendo Switch to the WiFi. I gave him the password and he immediately pointed out that the signal wasn’t very strong. He asked where the router was and I showed him the one she had set up. He told me it wasn’t the same router since the picture of the password Brandi had given me was of a Verizon router and the one in the apartment was Charter. We looked for the Verizon one but couldn’t find it in the apartment, so Mark followed the signal on his Switch until he had full bars.
We quickly realized that he had a full signal when he was standing in front of our neighbor’s door across the hall from us.
I then texted my roommate, pretending I’d lost the screenshot of the WiFi password she’d sent me months ago and asked for her to send it to me again. Instead, she sent me the login and router details for the Charter WiFi in our apartment. It was confirmed: she had been charging me for WiFi for four months and having me steal WiFi from our neighbor, Ben, across the hall.
I confronted Brandi about it and she feigned ignorance, saying that she didn’t remember telling me not to use the WiFi in our apartment, even though I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt she had. When I told her that it wasn’t fair to me or to Ben that she had done this, she retorted with, “It’s fine. Ben owed me money for something so it works out.” I pointed out that any money issues between her and Ben had nothing to do with me and that she had lied and stolen $140 from me over the course of the past several months. She insisted that she did nothing wrong and that she didn’t owe me anything.
I was afraid that she would try to kick me out, although I wasn’t aware at the time that I couldn’t be since I had co-signed the lease. I had been homeless for a year prior, struggling to find an apartment in a safe neighborhood I could afford due to my low-paying job. This was the first place that was both in my budget and a safe neighborhood. And at the time, I couldn’t move in with my boyfriend because he didn’t make much at the time and lived in a shoebox-sized studio apartment.
So I let it go and didn’t say anything about it for nearly a year. I ended up getting it back when I moved out because (surprise surprise) we’d had a huge fight and she told me to “move out of her apartment”. That’s
a whole other story, though.
TL;DR:
- Entitled roommate gives me the password to our neighbor’s WiFi across the hall
- Charges me the cost of the WiFi in our apartment that I don’t even have access to
- Tells me she did nothing wrong when I confront her about it and refuses to pay me back
EDIT 1: So a LOT of you are asking for the story about when she tried to kick me out of “her apartment”. I wrote it all out but I’m having trouble posting it to this subreddit. I don’t know if I exceeded a character limit or something but I’ll keep trying. I may just need to post it to my own Reddit page.
EDIT 2: Okay so apparently, I just couldn't post the update on mobile but I posted the draft from my laptop and it went through immediately. Here is
the story of when she tried to kick me out. This is a long story because of course it is. I've edited and re-edited it multiple times while I was struggling to post it so this is as short as it gets.Thanks to everyone who's been so invested in this. I never expected for so many people to ask for a part II.

2023.03.15 16:23 Ptizzl I registered a .us domain with my real info and now I get 20-40 calls a day from people trying to sell me on web services. I have changed my phone number, and the whois data goes to a google voice number, but still everyone calls me directly. How can I stop the madness?
A little background, I was just testing something out. I wanted a specific .com but it wasn't available. Since it was just for a small test, I registered the .us. I saw there was no domain privacy, but for some reason I decided to proceed, since I had no intent of using the domain for a website, but just for email routing with SimpleLogin...
The next day, I started getting calls. It's been 3 months and the calls haven't stopped. I have set up Verizon's spam filter and it blocks a good 15 per day, but still a ton come through. When I answer, I've done a mix of hanging up on them immediately to explaining that I have zero intentions of using this domain. After the very first day, I registered a new Google Voice number, and that number has not received one single call. I just checked the whois and the GV number is the only one listed.
Is there anything I can do? Am I just destined to get these calls until the domain expires in 9 more months?
The worst part is I'm not using the domain at all.

2023.02.02 20:08 dlflannery A tip re: technical problems
My area just northwest of Dayton OH had a partial outage (affecting only some web sites) this morning for a couple of hours. I decided to use chat at metronetinc.com to report it. I ended up wasting the better part of an hour with the only help suggested being to use cloudflare dns server in my router (already in use) or that my dynamic IP might have changed so it was out of location for certain servers (??), so maybe I should consider a static IP. Since my setup had been operating fine for two years, and I don’t understand the changed-IP theory, I was reluctant to accept this. The problems did not occur if I used the internet provided via my Verizon cell service, and a friend had similar problems that occurred only with Metronet but not with his Spectrum internet.
Then I logged into my account at portal.metronetinc.com and semi-hidden in Your services … status notifications were the notices that there was an internet outage in my area! These notices were time stamped a half hour before my chat session had started, assuming they were based in the same time zone.
I should have known better than to try chat, since most of my chat support experiences with any service have been lame.
The tip: Don’t use chat for this type of issue. Login to your account or call tech support.

2023.01.06 19:25 Jeff-Netwrix What Network Security Is and How to Fortify It
Cybersecurity threats are greater than ever. For example, the world has suffered a
645% increase in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks QoQ in March 2022, and a rise in ransomware equal to the
past five years combined. Incidents like the
SolarWinds hack of 2020 demonstrate that threats have grown increasingly complex and are able to infiltrated top-tier organizations like the US government. . And the average cost of a
data breach has reached an all-time high of
$4.35 million.
Given the growing sophistication and severity of the threats, organizations must continually fortify their network security. By implementing the most recent network security recommendations, they can prevent or promptly detect many cyberthreats to protect their business.
This guide will show you the
fundamentals of securing a network and maintaining compliance, as well as the most common threats you may encounter, so you can begin securing your network today.
Network security: what needs to be protected
The first step in determining how to secure your network is to understand what you need to protect. In its most basic form, a network consists of connected devices that can collect and transmit information. Computer networks are built using both hardware technology and software components — all of which must be protected. Some of these components include:
- Wireless routers
- Switches
- Access points
- Cables
- Operating systems
- Applications
- Subnetworks, often known as network segments
Effectively managing network security is a challenge. Here are just a few of the common issues:
- Human errors resulting in network vulnerabilities
- Repetitive and time-consuming processes that can burn out network admins
- Conflicting or obsolete security policies, which can expose networks to threats
- Manual network configuration changes that cannot be automated, resulting in inefficiencies
- Poorly understood systems and processes
- Difficulty measuring risks
- Complex hybrid systems
Network security vulnerabilities and steps to address them
Just as improving the security of a physical security requires knowing where its weak points are, proper network security management demands that IT teams assess their network vulnerabilities so they know what to fortify.
A network security vulnerability is any component of your IT infrastructure that a threat actor would be likely to exploit, such as a flaw or weakness in an operating system, hardware component, computer network or related process. Network security vulnerabilities are likely to take one of three forms: hardware, software or human. Steps for addressing common vulnerabilities are detailed below.
Hardware vulnerabilities
- Ensure physical security. The hardware elements of your network — routers, switches and devices — can be penetrated by physical access. Installing security cameras and locking areas that contain your hardware can prevent unauthorized access and keep both your data center and your employees’ personal devices secure.
- Replace outdated hardware. When hardware is so old that it no longer receives support from the vendor, it becomes increasingly vulnerable to threats. Diligently track the lifecycle of your hardware and keep your inventory current.
Software vulnerabilities
- Keep your OS and application software updated. Adversaries actively seek to exploit outdated and unpatched OS and application software. Use the most current software solutions to minimize exposure to threats, and apply security fixes promptly to remediate weak points.
- Ensure your configurations are secure. Software often comes with default configuration settings that are well known by hackers. Avoid using default passwords and settings, and change the name of each administrator account to avoid overly easy access.
- Limit privileges. Too often, user accounts have access to data that either doesn’t pertain to their job or is above their pay grade altogether. This gives the employee — or an adversary who compromises their account — more opportunity to do damage. Use the least-privilege principle and ensure that each user has access to only the data they need.
Human vulnerabilities
- Educate everyone. Verizon’s Data Breach Investigation Report notes that 82% of digital threats involved the human element. For example, phishing attacks can lure email recipients into clicking on links that lead to fraudulent IP addresses or opening attachments that unleash ransomware into your network. Provide people at every level with training about common hacker tactics and how to report threats.
- Monitor for insider threats. Unfortunately, some threat actors are on the inside. Insider threats include disgruntled or negligent current or former employees. Carefully monitor for signs of suspicious behavior and remove old credentials before they can be used again.
Common types of network attacks
In addition to identifying and addressing vulnerabilities, it’s also important to understand common network attacks so you can be prepared for them. The most common types of network attacks are:
- Adware — Malware that attempts to gain revenue by placing advertisements on webpages and tracking the most visited sites
- Spyware — Malware that targets sensitive data
- Virus — Malware that replicates itself by modifying other programs and inserting its own code.
- Ransomware — Malware that uses data encryption to block access to files or directories until the victim pays a ransom
- Keylogger — Malware that tracks a user’s keystrokes in order to steal passwords, personal information and other sensitive data
- Worm — Malware that replicates itself from one system to another without the need for a host file
- Trojan — Malware disguised as something benign to trick the user into installing it
- Rootkit — Spyware that remains hidden in order to steal passwords and control the computer remotely.
- Logic bomb — Malicious code embedded in a system that doesn’t activate until certain criteria are met
- Botnet — A network of compromised computers controlled by hackers to conduct DDoS attacks, launch phishing campaigns and so on
- Advanced persistent threat (APT) — Accesses and remains inside a network for a prolonged period, often by combining several of the attacks listed above
In addition to software attacks like these, network security teams also need to know about hardware attacks like installation of unauthorized storage media (hard drives, flash drives, etc.), the risks of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies and stolen devices. Another risk is shadow IT — when teams use hardware, software or external services that are not managed and secured by the IT department.
Network security and regulatory compliance
Many regulatory mandates require organizations to implement network security controls, and top cybersecurity frameworks also address network security. These include:
Five essential steps to secure your network
Step 1: Know your network.
Establish a complete inventory of all assets that access your networks and keep it up to day. Include all hardware assets connected to your infrastructure physically, virtually or remotely, even if they’re not under your control. Examples include user devices, servers, non-computing and IoT devices, and
network devices.
Step 2: Identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
Threat actors often exploit networks by locating their weaknesses, so it’s vital to regularly conduct network security vulnerability assessments and take remediation steps based on the results.
CIS Control 7 offers helpful guidance for the entirety of the vulnerability management process, including network security. These steps include:
7.1. Establish and maintain a vulnerability management process.
7.2. Establish and maintain a remediation process.
7.3. Perform automated operating system patch management.
7.4. Perform automated application patch management.
7.5. Perform automated vulnerability scans of internal enterprise assets.
7.6. Perform automated vulnerability scans of externally-exposed enterprise assets.
7.7. Remediate detected vulnerabilities.
Step 3: Strengthen your defenses and monitor for threats.
You need to layer multiple strategies to secure your digital assets and detect network threats. We cover them thoroughly in
our best practices guide, but some of them are:
- Use Network Address Translation (NAT). By converting private internal IP addresses into routable ones on public networks, NAT connects multiple devices to the web with a single IP address. The result is fewer access points and less clarity for attackers as to which host they are invading; the points that do exist can be covered by firewalls.
- Use firewalls (don’t disable personal ones). Company-wide firewalls can help protect you from external attacks, but not from internal threat actors. Configuring standard personal firewalls according to your company’s needs can bolster your defenses against attacks from inside.
- Use virtual private networks (VPNs). A VPN is a kind of digital tunnel amidst other public networks. They connect LANs across the internet, and require special hardware or software to install. They use a tunneling protocol like PPTP or IPSec and encrypt their data to improve security, so they’re especially safe, though these factors can make them slower than other networking environments.
- Use an intrusion detection system (IDS).An IDS monitors normal activity and spots anomalies so your team can investigate them. It can also compares the attack signature to typical threat behavior.
- Use centralized logging and immediate log analysis. By recording suspicious logins and events, you’ll be better equipped to identify attackers the next time they strike. But remember that attackers adapt quickly — and they’re recording your responses, too.
- Use web domain whitelisting for all domains. Blacklisting prohibits users from visiting unauthorized sites, while whitelisting allows them to visit only those that have been approved. Thus, whitelisting gives attackers fewer options.
- Use a proxy server for internet access from workstations. Routing all outbound traffic to a server where it can be controlled and monitored can help protect abnormal behavior. Reconfiguring your network to include an authenticating proxy server can take some upfront work, but the payoff is more secure outgoing traffic with little upkeep thereafter.
- Enforce the least-privilege principle. Restricting each user’s access to the minimum required for their roles helps keep an individual — or an attacker who takes over their account — from viewing, modifying or deleting information they should not use.
- Practice network segmentation. Use switches, ports and VLAN networks to divide your network into functional units and use firewall to limit unauthorized access and prevent attackers from infiltrating your entire network should they breach a single point.
- Keep a consistent, common time source. Real-time log analysis and post-incident forensics rely on the ability to correlate events across the network into a single timeline, so you need a coordinated time across all your assets.
Step 4: Automate response to network attacks.
Network maintenance can be a tedious and overwhelming process, so automating as much as possible can improve efficiency and keep all defenses up to date. The most automatable processes include the following:
- Blocking IP addresses, which is useful against spam and DDoS attacks, though IP addresses can be spoofed
- Terminating connections by configuring routers and firewalls to target RESET TCP packets, thereby disrupting attackers.
- Acquiring additional information by observing intruders over time
- Identifying the point of initial access by reverse-engineering any malware you find
- Determining how malicious software was deployed, so that you can stop it next time
Automating your processes will also help admins keep track of other activities and free them up for different tasks.
Step 5: Remember that network security is an iterative process .
Network security is not a once-and-done event. Rather,
continuous monitoring of network devices is vital for security. In particular, be sure to:
- Regularly assess risks and perform penetration tests. Risk assessments identify weak points and penetration tests are mock invasions performed by your security team to show you where an attacker could strike. Use both to understand your attack surface area and remediate weaknesses.
- Determine which devices you need to audit. Which ones to monitor will depend upon your industry and IT infrastructure, but those containing the most essential assets and the ones connected to the internet are a good place to start.
- Determine the frequency of auditing. Auditing frequency depends on your industry, network size and other factors, but auditing at least once a month can help you detect changes to your network environment, like changes to device configuration, that could weaken your security.
Summary
As you can see, network security management is a complex process with many moving parts. The keys to success include understanding common threats; proactively mitigating software, hardware and human vulnerabilities; continually monitoring for suspicious activity and changes across the network; and making network security an iterative process.
Because IT environments are complex, automating the monitoring process is critical. For example,
Netwrix Change Tracker will:
- Monitor system integrity in real time
- Identify anomalies that might compromise systems integrity
- Remove blind spots by monitoring changes across all major cloud platforms, containers, virtual machines and network components, including products from Cisco, Nortel, Juniper, Fortinet and Checkpoint

2023.01.05 16:30 Safe_Jackfruit_6968 LV65 stuck in paring mode
Trying to activate 5g home internet. Have LV65 & CR1000A equip. After trying home setup and having techs come with replacement equip still don't have access. Tried phone support again who had me reset the receiver (button on side) and now it is stuck in pairing mode (flashing blue). Router is solid white. Connecting to wifi says no internet and redirects to
quickaccess.verizonwireless.com which fails. Tried accessing router admin page which does the redirect to quickaccess and fails. Can get the receiver admin page but don't have the verizon creds to login.
The Verizon mobile app no longer shows the option to setup the receiver and pair with it. Anyone know an alternate method to get the app to pair with the receiver?

2023.01.04 23:02 dizzysn Failover ISP Interface Management Not Accessible
Hi all -
I have a remote site with two ISP providers, a primary and a fail over.
I've set both of them to us the same management profile, which will allow a connection from our AWS VPC, to their WAN interface. It's a /32 address, so only myself, and team lead can access them remotely, and only through our VPC. Otherwise they are not open to anyone. I used this guide to setup the failover, and followed it step by step:
https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClFiCAK For the sake of simplicity here, we'll say primary is 1/1 and backup is 1/2.
Both of those interfaces are in the same "WAN" security zone. Those are the only two interfaces there.
I've created a second default route for
0.0.0.0/0 pointing to 1/2, and gave it a metric of 200. The default route for 1/1 has a metric of 10. I've confirmed half a dozen times now that the IP and Gateway from Verizon are correct, and I can ping the WAN interface. Both of these interfaces have the same management profile applied to them to allow ping, SSH, and HTTPS.
I created a security policy to allow traffic from my individual AWS VM, to the WAN security zone, and included both of those IPs in there.
If I go to a web browser I can reach interface 1/1 without any issue at all and get a Palo login screen. This traffic is verified in the monitor that shows me connecting.
However for the life of me, I cannot reach interface 1/2. The webpage times out. There is nothing in the traffic monitor showing any attempted connection.
I have a Palo support case to look over the config, but it's been over three weeks and the response is continually "we're reviewing your setup." Given how frankly awful their support is, I'm not holding out on a good answer from them.

2022.12.25 03:58 PlantainAdmirable104 How to transfer online?
I’m trying to transfer from Verizon. I’ve gotten as far as getting to
this page. I’ve put in the IMEI of the device and finds I’m eligible for a eSim. Same with my Verizon phone number. But when trying to check out, it asks us to login, when there isn’t one to use since it’ll be a new account. What should I do to complete my purchase/transfer? I’m looking to transfer 5 lines, so $35x5 is a charge I’m trying to avoid, as well as getting the eSim, something I’m a bit doubtful that an online agent can do for me, based on experience.

2022.12.10 20:04 TemplarKnight33 Clan Invitation Glitch?
| Whenever I login to the game with my wizard I receive the same clan invitation. I can choose reject or join to close the window, but I am unable to join the clan and I see the not in a clan message. The clan I am invited to join doesn’t seem to exist. I saw someone else posted this same issue a few months ago on the Blizzard forum without a response. I put a message on the forum, but has anyone here experienced this? Is there a way to fix it? submitted by TemplarKnight33 to DiabloImmortal [link] [comments] |
