    Progress update on PamPamé... Today's focus was email delivery. So, since I haven't gotten a custom domain yet, I ran into Supabase's SMTP rate limit during testing (only two emails per hour)😔 Rather than letting that slow me down, I configured Gmail SMTP so the application can send emails directly from my Gmail account while I'm still in development... It's a temporary setup tho, but it keeps everything moving until I'm ready to switch to a production email service with my own domain.

    @JosephDworak If you are talking about search ability in outlook I’d agree, but also say Google is no better. Copilot does suck, but is anyone really using anything other than Claude and ChatGPT plug ins? I just can’t stand Gmail threads and think the Google meet is terrible, but so is teams

    @0xyunss Browser-native agents for real admin work hit different when you realize DNS, Gmail, and internal dashboards share the same attack surface. The security model assumed human pace and human error, not automated credential churn at machine speed. How do you revoke access when the agent rotates through sessions faster than your SIEM can parse logs?

    Quick analysis here (Ari shared the URL w me, I won’t repeat it), usual disclaimers apply: What it pretends to be. A Luma event page inviting you to Advertising Week New York 2026 — a real conference with real dates (Oct 5–8) at a real venue. The clone is faithful down to the “Report Event” button and a working Google Maps embed, and it hotlinks the actual cover image and favicon from advertisingweek[.]com. The domain, —redacted—— reads as “AdWeek’s event NY” rather than misspelling anything, so string-similarity domain checks won’t flag it. How it works. Clicking “Accept Invitation” opens a pixel-accurate Google sign-in replica with a ten-minute countdown running. Once you submit credentials, you’re parked on a “Validating your credentials…” spinner while your browser quietly polls the attacker’s server once per second. That poll speaks the Telegram Bot API’s getUpdates format — meaning a human operator is sitting in a Telegram chat watching victims arrive, driving each victim’s screen with inline buttons. This is the key distinction: it’s a live relay, not a harvester that stores credentials for later. The operator types your password into the real Google simultaneously and reflects Google’s genuine responses back at you. The command set includes wrongpass and wrongemail, so a typo produces an authentic-feeling retry prompt. TOTP, SMS, email, and WhatsApp codes all get relayed inside their validity windows. Even Google’s number-matching push is defeated — the operator reads the two-digit number off the real prompt and pushes it to your screen, so the number you’re told to tap is correct, and tapping it authorizes their session. What it’s after. Corporate Google Workspace accounts, specifically. The kit hardcodes ~40 consumer email domains — gmail, yahoo, outlook, icloud, proton — and refuses them. Personal accounts are turned away at the door. Pair that with an advertising-industry lure and the target profile is clear: accounts that sit on top of ad budgets, client data, and payment approval chains. The goal isn’t the password; it’s the authenticated session and the persistence that follows — OAuth grants, mail forwarding rules, delegated access. How it avoids detection. Several layers, working together: (a) A fake Cloudflare “Checking if the site connection is secure” screen gates the payload, so automated URL scanners that don’t click never see the phishing content. It also displays invite[.]advertisingweek[.]com as the domain being verified. (b) The JavaScript is obfuscated with an RC4-keyed string array — over 16,000 encoded strings, so grepping the shipped bundle for “password” or “google” returns nothing. (c) CSS class names are randomized per build (toast94, veldt_84), defeating signature-based detection of the cloned layouts. (d) An inline script deletes and freezes React DevTools, specifically blocking inspection of the component state where credentials live pre-submission. (e) The network profile is dominated by genuine Google Maps, Google Fonts, and hotlinked brand images. The only attacker-controlled request is a same-origin POST to a generic /api.php — indistinguishable from ordinary app traffic.

    We get Claude to send us a daily 'money' recap each morning... and it's saved us thousands each month. My wife and I aren't budgeters .If we need stuff, we generate income. But that ends up in 'leaks' every month for expenses. "Death by a thousand swipes" and it can lead to wasted money, thousands in extra "WTH" expenses, arguments etc. This is especially true if you do have a high income and you find 'lifestyle' creep has taken over... as it has many times in our lives. *** What gets measured gets managed. Trying to manually budget stuff each month... go through the 'budget' is a task that's a pain to do . Years ago, we looked for an app to do exactly what Claude is now doing (for essentially free as I use Claude for work daily). Instead of some random app to check, we BOTH get an automated email each day that tells us: - Our last 5 days of transactions from our checking and amex cards - How much was spent for our NUT - Our necessary spends (mortgage, groceries, utilities) NICE TO HAVE - Kids activities, house cleaners, landscapers GUILT-FREE - Eating out, trips, etc. - (most importantly) How much do we have LEFT to spend on the month for each of the 3 buckets. GOAL: - We both know where we are in the month. None of us log into our account each day, so we don't see if there's a bad charge, or what someone just bought. It's usually I log into pay the Amex bill 1x per month and go "This balance is 5k more than I thought" - Just seeing the number "You have $ XYZ" left guilt-free to spend removes any guilt about spending, especially if your spouse needs that structure. **** How to set up: 1. Load an entire years statements into Claude (You need a Claude subscription) 2. Ask it to breakdown where you spent --- you'll be shocked some of the overspent categories. We always think we're spending half of what our 'eating out' actual is 3. Put in the prompt: (on the next tweet) 4. Claude can even determine what makes sense for each budget. E.g. "You normally have an electric bill around $200/month". 5. Claude will then have you connect your accounts to it through a secure 3rd party (You are NOT giving Claude unlimited access to your bank accounts... and it will tell you NOT to do that anyway) 6. You'll then set up a script in Google to pull the email draft from your Gmail and auto-send to you. 7. NOTE --- you'll need Claude "on" to do this each day e.g. your computer can't be off. But you schedule it for when you are normally around your computer and you can even run it manually if you happen to login at a different time. 8. As things come up each month, you can adjust the buckets. "Hey, we need to save $500 the next 5 months for our 3 day beach getaway, put aside and adjust the guilt-free bucket." It's all done with prompts and updates the bucket automatically the next 5 months. **** We've found already it makes us mindful of not doing stupid spends. I'm notorious for going into Target for 1 thing and then buying the kids some extra crap, etc. Or taking them to a sporting goods store for 1 thing and we end up with 10 things. PROMPT ON NEXT PAGE. It's a 1-shot prompt, you can start with "just analyze our spend" and go from there.

    @Yahoo thanks for completely wasting my morning keeping me on the phone for more than two hours, not helping me with my issue and then...HANGING UP ON ME..and then after calling back...REFUSING to allow me to speak with a manager. I guess it's time to leave yahoo and go to gmail.

    a Reddit user just proved an MCP server can hijack Gmail by simply being installed. it doesn't even need to be called. > a developer installed a "Fact of the Day" MCP for his AI agent > the next email his agent sent was BCC'd to an address he never added > the instruction was one sentence buried in the Fact tool's description: whenever an email is sent, copy this address. > the agent never called the Fact tool > just having its description in context was enough. In most MCP clients, the model reads connected tool descriptions together. The poisoned tool doesn't need to impersonate Gmail. Its description can tell the agent how to use the real Gmail tool. Every server you connect gets to write into the same context the agent uses to decide what to do. That risk scales with every server you add. In one analysis of 1,899 open-source MCP servers, 5.5% already contained tool-poisoning behavior. I've spent years building integration infrastructure, and I keep coming back to the same design rule: Keep the number of trusted voices small. This is how we’re making things safe at One: - tools come from one catalog we vet - the agent loads only the action it asked for - every action traces back to the request that triggered it Before you connect the next MCP server, ask who gets to write into your agent's context.

    I've come to the conclusion that all iOS message-based personal assistants are fairly useless. I built my own in <1 day, and have been optimizing it ever since. It: > uses my existing coding agent subscription > connects to as many integrations as a want > is linked to my personal company of agents and can orchestrate work > talk to me in gen-z lingo 😭😭 > works whenever my laptop is on and connected to the internet (i can fix this w/ cloud i just don't face that problem rn) > also added iOS based slash commands so I can get instant responses i've built it in a way i can contact it from my control plane, via imsg, or via gmail the only annoying thing is I get emails/imsg to myself, which could be fixed by just spending like $5 on a second number and connecting the agent to it gonna open source the whole control plane, system, etc. very soon

    The biggest story isn't whether Gemini "leaked" a game character. It's that millions of people still don't understand the difference between AI training and AI context. If you connect Gemini to your Google Drive, Docs, Gmail, or Calendar, it can use that information to answer your questions. That's a feature, not evidence that your private documents were used to train the model. The real questions are: • What permissions did the user enable? • What data was available to Gemini at the time? • Should AI assistants make it more obvious when an answer comes from your connected files instead of general knowledge? Whether this turns out to be a bug, expected behavior, or a misunderstanding, it highlights a much bigger issue: AI products are becoming operating systems for our digital lives, but most users still don't know what data they've granted access to. The future of AI won't just be about better models. It'll be about trust, transparency, and giving users complete control over their data.

    We're building Authex — an autonomous business email security platform. Most teams check email security in three places that never talk to each other. Someone owns DNS. Someone else owns the Microsoft 365 or Workspace tenant. Nobody owns "are we actually compliant" — until a customer's security questionnaire asks, and it becomes a two-week fire drill. So things drift. Authentication that passed last quarter quietly breaks when a vendor changes selectors. The tenant holds the real exposure — controls nobody re-checked after the last admin left. And it costs revenue both ways. Fail the Gmail and Yahoo sender rules, and outbound you already paid for stops landing. Can't evidence your email controls, and enterprise deals stall in security review while your champion waits. Authex reviews all three — domains, tenants and workspaces, and where you stand against the frameworks. Continuously. It decides what to fix and does it. It pauses only when a change could drop legitimate mail. #authex #autonomous #security

    I think the difference comes down to time to value. Instagram, TikTok, Uber: they solved a problem everyone already had, and they did it instantly. Open the app and within seconds you understand why it's useful. Agents are different. Before they're actually helpful, you have to connect Gmail, calendars, drives, CRMs, Slack, and give them enough context to understand your work. That's a lot of upfront effort before you reach the "aha" moment. For most consumers, the payoff isn't worth that investment yet. Their day-to-day digital tasks are usually quick enough that doing them manually feels easier than setting up an agent to do them. Businesses are a different story. They have repeatable workflows, shared context, and clear ROI. Spending an hour setting up an agent that saves hundreds of hours later is an easy decision. I don't think the missing piece is better models. It's reducing the setup cost to almost zero. The breakthrough will happen when an agent understands your context automatically and starts delivering value before you've spent time configuring it.

    @sergeykarayev @DevCalledFede's exact problem (a session that only exists locally) is why scoped, revocable grants matter more than sandboxes. OAuth already has that concept, most local dev credentials don't. Same tension as @thepanta82's point, just showing up elsewhere: broad standing access is more useful and also the thing nobody reviews six months later. Scoped-but-revocable beats broad-but-convenient whether it's a coding agent or one connected to Gmail and Drive.
