Not again - please please please manage your sub-domains: General Mills offers cereal & free porn and Georgia State Government offers justice & naughty pictures

Details: Category: Blog; Published: 03 August 2022

Last month I found the British Council were offering free porn, and now a major cereal company and a justice department of an US state are also.

When something funny happens, it is bound to happen again, so I have the tendency to check months or years later. Guess what? More private and public organisations have the same problem.

Perhaps it is not coincidence some large organisations all have the same problems: sub-domain and a Microsoft Azure address showing adult content. That said these organisations should be monitoring sub-domains to ensure none have gone awry.

Even searching for the organisation or sub-domain CISO’s embarrassing brings up the porn site.

DataSecurityExpert “Special” Exposé #2 - Please manage your sub-domains unlike the British Council who now offer free adult content on top of arts, English and British culture

Firstly, the MoD’s social media accounts offered “great” free NFT investment advice and now a FCO sub-division offers free porn. Such a lovely government we have!

Personally, I do not go around hunting for funny things - they just find me, or I find them whilst looking for innocent content. Last weekend I was looking for SELT (Secure English Language Tests) which the British Council have information on, and I got more than I bargained for on a search result. It took a few looks to convince myself what I saw was actually related to The British Council’s main domain; britishcouncil.org.

About me within India 2 of 2: my second real job begins along with funny stories - thank you Prasad!

I will start off with a warning again, which is in part one (paragraph one) as well. Young folk, if you are reading this, do not go into a job interview talking like this article.

My first day of the new job went well and I made a new friend called Prasad. What did the job entail? Website administration. A bit of security, patching, backups, adding new content, adding new modules to Joomla! CMS and statistics. The job taught me Joomla which I continue to use 16 years later. In the evening I went out to a nearby large Western shopping mall with Prasad.

After a few days I moved out of the cricket club to a hotel which was a five-minute walk from the office. Next week I registered my work visa at the ex-colonial police station in the centre of Mumbai. One evening I watched a Bollywood film called Krish which was great even though I could not understand ¾ of it. Bollywood films are all a confused mix of English-Hindi (Hinglish).
