but I have been thinking about writing an autoboost script, to monitor certain accounts (like my pixelfed account) and boost every post.

I understand your concern with the traction, but isn't that thwarting the whole beauty of boosts?
With boosts we can finally get rid of all that duplicate content and don't have to worry, that the real discussion is happening on another copy of the post.
Instead of the option to cross post between pixelfed and mastodon, I would love to see a better support for boosts in pixelfed (the app doesn't support them rn).

@npub1xsv…q6he, what's the future of #reblogs in #pixelfed?
There have been some bugs and missing features, and today @npub1t5c…ppw4 closed two bug reports concerning reblogs as "not planned". Will @npub1gq5…qcul continue to support reblogs? Because without, it's kind of useless to me.

While I agree that it's good to expect compromise of whatever technology you're using, I don't think this take is really helpful.
The assumption that everything is compromised, apart from discussing strategies for dealing with it, just takes away our ability to make informed decisions. We have limited knowledge of the capabilities of the relevant threat actors, so we have to weight the probability that a particular implementation is still secure.

This is due to something I call #KoboldLetters. By cleverly (mis)using CSS, attackers can display completely different emails to different recipients.
The problems with HTML and CSS in emails have been known for a long time, but the security implications have usually been underestimated or actively downplayed. That's why I wrote an article explaining how HTML emails can be used to deceive recipients into becoming part of an sophisticated #phishing attack.

If your answer was "everything", you were right. Because the email your accountant would receive wouldn't look anything like the one you forwarded.

Welcome to another edition of "Is this phishing?"
Assume the email is in principle plausible and the transaction ID exists. What is the worst that can happen if you press send?
