It’s been a totally chill and normal month for HBO Max. Definitely nothing significant happened to affect the best streaming service around, like, say, new CEO David Zaslav canceling a bunch of forthcoming shows and even a $90 million Batgirl movie and making the decision to remove a bunch of content—including movies and shows produced specifically for HBO and HBO Max—as part of an apparent scheme to, I don’t know, piss off loyal customers and all of Hollywood.

Oh wait, all that actually did happen? Well fuck.

In light of all of that, you might be considering dropping your HBO Max subscription in the near future, and I don’t know that the streamer’s slate of upcoming September content will do much to change your mind.

The month’s biggest get is undoubtedly Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, the musical biopic that actually managed a rare movies-for-adults pandemic box office win over the summer, birthing my favorite meme of 2022 in the process. The film arrives on HBO Max on Sept. 2. That’s so soon! RIP movie theaters.

Otherwise, I’m jazzed about the long-in-coming second season of Los Espookys (Sept. 16), three years after the debut of the first season of the low-key Spanish language ghost-hunting comedy. If you dig What We Do in the Shadows, this is your next favorite show.

Also worth highlighting:

We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (Sept. 1), a freaky psychological art house horror flick about a girl who gets sucked into the world of an online cult/meme/conspiracy thing.

The Hype season 2 (Sept. 22), the return of the reality competition series pitting up-and-coming streetwear designers against one another.

Moonfall (Sept. 9), a supremely dumb Roland Emmerich disaster movie about the moon falling out of orbit for some reason; for viewers who thought The Core was too scientifically rigorous.

A bunch of Magnolia Network reality content ported over from Discovery+ (Sept. 30), but if you wanted that, you’d probably have already subscribed to Discovery+.

Mode is the first magnetically charging toothbrush, and rotates to dock in any outlet. The brushing experience is as luxurious as it looks—with soft, tapered bristles and a two-minute timer to be confident you reached all the crevices of your molars.

Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) HBO Max in September...unless David Zaslav decides to delete a bunch more old content before then. Titles with (HBO) next to them are available on HBO and HBO Max; everything else is exclusive to HBO Max.

When you open an email, there’s no obvious indication the sender will know. It’s not like Facebook Messenger, which sends an overt read receipt any time you open a message. However, the sender can include a small, pixel-sized image in the email, which identifies when we open it. In turn, it tells the sender (narc). It’s known as a pixel tracker, and it’s one example of how email is not a privacy-friendly service.

Tech companies have begun to fight back, however. Last year, Apple implemented “Hide My Email” for its suite of products, which generates a unique “burner” address each time you need to share your email with a company. That burner address forwards your messages to your real address, so you never need to share it with shady services.

DuckDuckGo started testing a similar feature in July of last year, opening the beta to a limited pool of users. If you wanted to give it a try, though, you had to be placed on a waitlist. Now, the feature is available for anyone to try.

DuckDuckGo hides your email and protects your privacy

DuckDuckGo offers you two types of email addresses. The first is a personal Duck Address. You pick the name, and it never changes (for example, jakepete@duck.com). The second is a private, uniquely generated Duck Address. Any time you need to share your email with a service, DuckDuckGo will generate a new address for you to use. That way, you don’t need to share your email with each and every company looking to abuse your personal data. Instead, they only get the burner account.

Mode is the first magnetically charging toothbrush, and rotates to dock in any outlet. The brushing experience is as luxurious as it looks—with soft, tapered bristles and a two-minute timer to be confident you reached all the crevices of your molars.

Both the personal and private Duck Addresses forward their emails to your primary address (your Gmail, for example). That lets you hand away your Duck Addresses to any service that wants it, without needing to give away your personal email address.

That’s not the best part, though. Before forwarding an email from your personal or private Duck Address to your primary address, DuckDuckGo scrubs it of any trackers. That means you can open your forwarded emails in peace, as the sender has no way to know when you read the message. It also fights against link tracking, which will prevent companies from following your activity when you click on a link in the email.

DuckDuckGo claims this feature is extremely respectful of user privacy, and that they never save your emails. The only personal data the company asks from you is your primary email address (otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to forward you emails), but you don’t need to share access to your inbox, your contacts, or any data like that.

How to set up a burner DuckDuckGo email address

To access the feature, you’ll either need the iOS or Android app, or install the browser extension in Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge. The feature is supported in DuckDuckGo’s Mac app, but it’s still in beta, and there’s still a waitlist.

On iOS or Android, open the app, tap the settings gear in the top right, then scroll down and choose “Email Protection.” On desktop, after installing the browser extension, go to the Email Protection page (linked here) to get started. Click through the initiation screens, then choose an @duck.com address for yourself.

Next, choose the primary address you’d like DuckDuckGo to forward your tracker-free messages to. Once you’re all set, click “This is correct,” and you’ll lock in your official DuckDuckGo email.

Any time you need to generate a new burner address, go to Email Protection settings on mobile. On desktop, select the DuckDuckGo extension in your browser, then choose “Create a new Duck Address.” DuckDuckGo will add the newly-generated address to your clipboard, so you can easily paste it where needed. That said, DuckDuckGo will also be able to identify when you’ve clicked on an email address field, and will offer you a Duck Address to use automatically.

When you receive a forwarded message in your primary inbox, DuckDuckGo includes a report of the trackers it blocked in the original email, a reminder of why such a feature is so useful in the first place.

How to Start Having Sex Again

Turns out you may not be the only one in the midst of a sexual drought.

You may have heard of “scromiting,” an informal name for cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome: a condition that causes uncontrollable vomiting after prolonged marijuana use. But it takes frequent weed smoking to develop the problem, as Taylor Nichols, an emergency medicine doctor, recently clarified for Slate. “It’s a rare condition that only develops in the long term, daily use, of marijuana. It’s not like somebody who is a nonuser goes out and smokes marijuana once and then develops ‘a poisoning.’”

Symptoms of scromiting 

Symptoms develop in two phases. In the first, a person might experience heartburn, nausea, stomach pain and/or burping. The second phase is characterized by uncontrollable vomiting, which might also include very loud sounds of retching or screaming, hence the term “scromiting”—a portmanteau of the words “screaming” and “vomiting.”

An over-the-counter remedy that helps with scromiting

Long term, the only cure for scromiting is to stop using marijuana. Since scromiting is induced by chronic use, and marijuana takes a while to fully leave the body, it may be weeks to months before a sufferer starts to feel relief. However, as science writer Laurel Hamer reports at ASBMB Today, there are a couple of over-the-counter remedies that seem to offer short-term relief.

The first remedy is a hot shower. Anecdotally, compulsive bathing seems to be one of the symptoms that accompanies a case of scromiting, as it’s often the only way a sufferer can find any sort of relief. Spending all day in a hot bath or shower doesn’t exactly help a person return to their daily life, though, so emergency toxicologist Jeff LaPoint decided to test out capsaicin cream as a potential remedy for scromiting, which is widely available over the counter.

As LaPoint explained to ASBMB Today, he decided to test out capsaicin cream based on a hunch that the relief offered by hot baths was due to activating a receptor in our body called TRPV1 that senses heat. Since capsaicin cream also activates TRPV1, he figured it was worth a shot, which led to him testing it out on an ER patient suffering from the condition. The attempt was successful, with the person experiencing significant relief of their symptoms within 30 minutes.

As LaPoint reported at the 2014 North American Congress of Clinical Toxicology, applying capsaicin cream to the belly led to significant relief for seven people suffering from scromiting, with their symptoms resolving within half an hour. Researchers at the University of Virginia are now testing capsaicin cream as a remedy for scromiting in a clinical trial, with results expected soon. As LaPoint told ASBMB Today, it’s a huge breakthrough “to have an over-the-counter medication that someone could take home and be functional.”

Group-IB has discovered that the recently disclosed phishing attacks on the employees of Twilio and Cloudflare were part of the massive phishing campaign that resulted in 9,931 accounts of over 130 organizations being compromised.

The campaign was codenamed 0ktapus by the researchers due to the impersonation of a popular Identity and Access Management service. The vast majority of the victims are located in the United States and use Okta’s Identity and Access Management services. Group-IB Threat Intelligence team uncovered and analyzed the attackers’ phishing infrastructure, including phishing domains, the phishing kit as well as the Telegram channel controlled by the threat actors to drop compromised information.

All victim organizations have been notified and provided with the list of compromised accounts. The findings about the alleged identity of the threat actor have been shared with international law enforcement agencies.

The big question

On July 26, 2022, the Group-IB team received a request from its Threat Intelligence customer asking for additional information on a recent phishing attempt targeting its employees. The investigation revealed that these phishing attacks as well as the incidents at Twilio and Cloudflare were links in a chain — a simple yet very effective single phishing campaign unprecedented in scale and reach that has been active since at least March 2022. As Signal disclosures showed, once the attackers compromised an organization, they were quickly able to pivot and launch subsequent supply chain attacks.

“While the threat actor may have been lucky in their attacks it is far more likely that they carefully planned their phishing campaign to launch sophisticated supply chain attacks. It is not yet clear if the attacks were planned end-to-end in advance or whether opportunistic actions were taken at each stage. Regardless, the 0ktapus campaign has been incredibly successful, and the full scale of it may not be known for some time,” said Roberto Martinez, Senior Threat Intelligence analyst at Group-IB Europe.

The primary goal of the threat actors was to obtain Okta identity credentials and two-factor authentication (2FA) codes from users of the targeted organizations. These users received text messages containing links to phishing sites that mimicked the Okta authentication page of their organization.

It is still unknown how fraudsters prepared their target list and how they obtained the phone numbers. However, according to the compromised data analyzed by Group-IB, the threat actors started their attacks by targeting mobile operators and telecommunications companies and could have collected the numbers from those initial attacks.

The big score

Researchers discovered 169 unique phishing domains involved in the 0ktapus campaign. The domains used keywords like “SSO“, ”VPN“, “OKTA”, ”MFA“, and ”HELP”. From the victim’s point of view, the phishing site looks convincing as they are very similar to the legitimate authentication page they are used to seeing.

When analyzing the phishing sites, specialists found they have been created using the same phishing kit that they have not seen yet in the past. Further examination of the phishing kit’s code showed the lines dedicated to the configuration of the Telegram bot and the channel used by the attackers to drop compromised data.

Researchers were able to analyze the compromised records obtained by the threat actors since March 2022. The team found that the threat actor managed to steal 9,931 user credentials, including 3,129 records with emails, and 5,441 records with MFA codes. Because two-thirds of the data didn’t contain a corporate email, but only usernames and 2FA codes, Group-IB researchers could only identify the region of residence of the victims.

Out of 136 victim organizations identified, 114 companies are in the USA. That list also includes companies that are headquartered in other countries but have US-based employees that were targeted. Most companies on the victims’ list are providing IT, software development, and cloud services.

Based on recent news about hijacked Signal accounts, cybercriminals may try to get access to private conversations and data. Such information can be resold to the victim’s competitors or could simply be used to ransom a victim.

The Subject X

The Telegram features allow getting some information about the channel used by the phishing kit to collect compromised data, such as its name and the users administering it.

Researchers were able to retrieve some details about the second administrator of the Telegram channel in question who goes by the nickname “X”. They were able to identify one of the posts that “X” made in 2019 that led them to his Twitter account. The same tool also revealed the name and last name the administrator of the channel was using, before adopting the name “X“. Looking up the Twitter handle on Google gives back a GitHub account containing the same username and profile picture. This account also suggests the location of Subject X is the United States.

“The methods used by this threat actor are not special, but the planning and how it pivoted from one company to another makes the campaign worth looking into. 0ktapus shows how vulnerable modern organizations are to some basic social engineering attacks and how far-reaching the effects of such incidents can be for their partners and customers. By making our findings public we hope that more companies will be able to take preventive steps to protect their digital assets,” said Rustam Mirkasymov, Head of Cyber Threat Research at Group-IB Europe.

When you think of spritz drinks, the first that probably comes to mind is the Aperol Spritz, and for good reason—it’s delicious. This Italian cocktail is made with sparkling wine, Aperol (or another type of liqueur), and soda water. But if you’re getting a little tired of the Aperol Spritz, there are plenty of other options that you should try.

How to make a basic spritz

All spritz drinks follow the same basic recipe. You’ll need:

• Sparkling wine
• Aperol or another type of liqueur (often something bitter)
• Soda water

To make the perfect spritz, start by pouring two ounces of sparkling wine into a glass. Add one ounce of Aperol (or other bitter) and top it off with soda water. Garnish with an orange slice, twist, or olive and enjoy.

Campari Spritz

Perhaps the most common alternative to the Aperol Spritz, the Campari Spritz is more bitter and more complex. This cocktail is made with Campari, sparkling wine, and soda water. It’s the perfect drink for someone who wants something that’s not too sweet. Campari is flavored with a variety of herbs and spices, including orange, rhubarb, and anise.

Americano Spritz

For a classic twist on the Aperol Spritz, try making an Americano Spritz. This cocktail is made with sweet vermouth, Campari, and sparkling water. It’s a bit more boozy than the Aperol Spritz, but just as good. (The Americano is a cocktail made with club soda, sweet vermouth, campari, and orange—the Americano Spritz is a spritz version of the cocktail.)

Pamplemousse Spritz

If you’re looking for something a little different, try a Pamplemousse Spritz. This cocktail is made with grapefruit liqueur (Pampelle Grapefruit Aperitif is a good one to try), sparkling wine, and soda water. It’s tart and perfect for summertime sipping.

Cynar Spritz (a.k.a. Calindri Spritz)

If you’re a fan of bittersweet cocktails, you’ll love the Cynar Spritz. This cocktail is made with Cynar (a bittersweet liqueur with notes of caramel, toffee, and cinnamon with a bitter herbal finish), sparkling wine, and soda water. It’s perfect for someone who wants more of a bitter edge to their spritz compared to Aperol, but it’s a bit more sweet than Campari. The drink is often referred to as a Cynar Spritz because of the liqueur used, but it’s also sometimes referred to as a Calindri Spritz from a popular 1966 advertisement for the drink featuring actor Ernesto Calindri enjoying the bitter apéritif as an antidote to “the strain of modern life.”

Strawberry Spritz

For a fruity and less bitter twist on the classic Aperol Spritz, try a Strawberry Spritz. This cocktail is made with strawberry liqueur (Bols is a good and inexpensive option), sparkling wine, and soda water. You can substitute strawberry for any other fruity liqueur that you prefer.

Boulevardier Spritz

This spritz is for bourbon lovers, made with bourbon (or other whiskey), Campari, and sweet vermouth. It’s a bit stronger than some of the other spritzes on this list, and is another spritz based on a non-spritzed cocktail by the same name: The Boulevardier is a riff on the negroni and is made of whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Campari.

St. Agrestis Paradiso Spritz

If you’re looking for something truly unique, try the St. Agrestis Paradiso Spritz. This cocktail is made with St. Agrestis Inferno Bitter, Prosecco, and soda water. It’s less bitter than other typical spritz liqueurs and has more herbal complexity. Agrestis Paradiso is made in Brooklyn.

Lillet Blanc Spritz

This spritz is for wine lovers. It’s made with Lillet Blanc, sparkling wine, and soda water. Lillet Blanc is a French aperitif that’s similar to a semi-sweet vermouth with herbal, floral, and citrus notes. It’s slightly sweet and a great alternative when you’re looking for something less bitter than Aperol.

Italicus Sprtiz

This spritz is for gin lovers. It’s made with Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, sparkling wine, and soda water. Italicus is a citrusy liqueur that’s only been around since 2016, so you’ll be leading the charge by offering this spritz alternative to your friends.
