It's a good thing that the military photographer didn't disclose the location, otherwise foreign spies might have been able to determine where this happened...

@nprofile1q... You mean, Apple will automatically lock users out of their accounts by changing their passwords because some dumb AI considers them weak?

@nprofile1q... TBH, I couldn't identify it, either. A horse? A cow? A calf? Difficult to tell at this size, resolution, angle, and speed.
I am working on an SMB honeypot (because I don't like Dionaea). It kinda works but unlike Dionaea (which catches about a dozen WannaCry samples every day) it doesn't seem to catch any malware samples.
What is the simplest way of testing that it works correctly? I've scanned it with nmap, and the latter says that the simulated system is vulnerable to ms17-010. I guess I could use Metasploit, exploit it, and upload some file, but that strikes me as a big of overkill. Is there a simpler approach?

@nprofile1q... The second sentence is misrepresenting the real threat.
The problem isn't that SpaceX could get billions of dollars from passive investors. The problem is that if it joins the index, due to the company's huge valuation, the index would have to be re-ballanced, meaning the percentage participation of other companies - reduced. Which would have meant huge amounts of selling of the stocks of those companies by passive funds that track the index. Which, on its turn would have screwed up the investors in these companies.
And, sadly, while SpaceX won't become part of S&P-500 or DJI soon, it can still become part of Nasdaq-100, Russel-2000, etc., which will have a similar effect. So, only one part of the problem was averted.
