nisten🇨🇦e/acc (@nisten) reportedfor security i recommend claude code users disconnect ANY plugins like google drive etc from the anthropic WEB app because it’s buggy and not properly separated from the cli tool. Nothing “bad” happened but here’s what scared tf out of me this morning: I had asked fable to scan my home server (rakuni), it found it to be secure but had defaulted to opus 4.8 and used a bunch of sonnet 5 subagents to setup a cron job and then connected itself to the web app somehow, started reading & writing reports to my google drive (thankfully i use a throwaway gmail for that). The way I found out was through notifications from the claude app on an iphone 12 that i just use as a webcam and for checking twitter ( my main phone is a pixel fold with grapheneOS and got no notifications there). All i see is a temporary claude seshion with with weird </> Accep… button on the iphone app. And because the iphone is in lockdown mode i could not go back to the temporary seshion, it had just dissapeared, but at least i took screenshots. Again, I was not hacked, the opus and sonnet fallbacks from fable had created a bunch of slop and somehow enabled this, including authorization tokens for google Drive uploads even though on the web all its permissions are set to blocked. Their codebase itself is sloppy enough to somehow allow something i had never authorized or authenticated for web use and ignore what settings you have set through anthropic.

CIPHERONYX (@CipherOnyxN9) reportedI started trading and it failed. But now I understand the reality of trading better. I made a lot of wrong decisions without thinking things through. I lost my accounts again and again, doing the same thing REVENG TRADING. I was addicted to losing every day without caring. The fault is mine that's not in question. My own wrong decision got my Gmail hijacked, and I lost everything with it - Discord, TradingView, NetNine, years of work, gone in a moment. But not everything that happened was fully my own doing either. If there's one real root to all of this, it's that I trusted people too easily — I trusted almost everyone I built connections with. Now I understand how easily someone like me can be shaped and used for whatever someone else needs, in whatever way suits them. To the people I hurt along the way - I'm Sorry. I can't fix what already happened, and I can't change the past. Your already know that and Only I can give that 2 SS. I don't know what comes next for me from here. But I'm not the person from the past anymore.

Alex Vacca (@itsalexvacca) reportedone of the domains in your cold email setup is carrying other people's spam complaints. it's the tracking domain, and your own reporting will never show it. the shared tracking domain your sending platform hands you by default sits on every other customer's links too, so their spam complaints ride into your emails on the same wrapper. your own sending looks clean the whole time. that's step 4 of 8. @Kenny_GTM sets up the cold email infrastructure on every client account we run. we've sent 23M+ cold emails across those campaigns. here's his full build order: 1/ domains buy 10 to 15 for a launch build, 20 for the full spec, all close variations of your brand. keep the primary domain out of the sending path. burning a sending domain is routine and survivable. burning the one your contracts and invoices go through means you spend months repairing your company's email rather than a campaign. 2/ mailboxes run 2 or 3 per domain and never more. past that the domain reads as a sending farm. split the estate 50/50 between google workspace and microsoft 365, because the two filter on different rules. put everything on one provider and one bad filtering week hits all of your capacity instead of half of it. 3/ dns SPF, DKIM and DMARC go on every domain before any mailbox sends, warm-up included. weak copy costs you reply rate over weeks. a domain with no authentication gets flagged on the first send, before anyone opens the email. you read it as a bounce rate that stays high no matter what you change in the copy. 4/ tracking domain the one from the top of this post. teams skip it more than any other step, and skipping it undoes steps 1 through 3. one subdomain you own, configured per sending account. 5/ platform instantly handles pure email. lemlist earns its place when linkedin matters. smartlead comes in when the client brings it. connect every mailbox before warm-up so the platform builds the sending history for you. 6/ rotation and warm-up mailbox rotation goes on from day one so sends spread across the estate. every mailbox then gets 2 weeks minimum before it touches a campaign, and 30 days is the safer number now that gmail puts a warning banner on domains younger than that. cut it short and the failure only surfaces after the campaign is live and the domain is already marked, and warm-up won't repair it from there. you replace the domain and start over. 7/ send limits cap each mailbox at 20 to 25 sends a day. volume comes from mailbox count. 40 mailboxes at that rate sends 800 to 1,000 a day and none of them looks unusual. set the cap inside the platform itself. 8/ placement clear 95%+ in the primary inbox before the first real campaign. anything sitting in spam produces no pipeline at all. if you're running this spec and landing well under 95%, the cause is back in steps 1 through 6. domains get replaced every 9 to 12 months. stagger the replacements, because rotating all 20 at once puts the whole estate back to zero and every new domain still owes you its two weeks of warm-up. the two numbers that break first: > spam rate above 0.1% > bounce rate above 3% both shift weeks before reply rate does. by the time reply rate drops, the damage is a few weeks old and the domain is usually past repairing. all of that is phase 1. phase 2 is data and targeting, phase 3 is the copy. most teams start at phase 3 in week 1, which is why they spend the next month debugging subject lines for a domain problem. you just read phase 1. @Kenny_GTM wrote all three, plus the ten-line weekly dashboard and the numbers that mean you already have a problem. follow him if cold email is a channel you depend on.

Ridark (@ridark_eth) reportedI genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet OpusClip + Claude = a video editor your agent can call Greg just showed how to wire the OpusClip MCP server into Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT with 1 connector url this setup solves the round trip problem: > connect - add it as a custom connector once and it sits in the list next to gmail > clip - hand it a youtube, zoom, twitch or loom link and it cuts the whole thing into shorts > cowork - point it at a folder on your drive and it works through every file in there, up to 10GB > score - every clip comes back ranked, split into hook, coherence, connection and trend set it up tonight and you stop opening the editor at all watch it 👇

PAM PAM💙🌹 (@pamilhereen) reportedProgress 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.

Ishu Agrawal (@ishuagra02) reportedIt has access to your computer's files. It can autonomously control the browser. It can connect to plugins like Gmail. It has support for skills and MCPs. What does this do differently from Codex or Claude? @gabriel1 says the problem is that most people, esp outside of SF and the tech bubble, don't know how to leverage AI in their workflows. That's true, but building a Codex-like autonomous engine in public to his tech-literate followers on X isn't going to shift the general public sentiment or adoption of AI.

DragonKazoo77 (@DragonKazoo77) reportedGot into the "Your email address may not be secure" IG issue again yesterday. Imao, asking ppl to enter a new email address is toxic. Anyway, gmail users can keep using original emails by this trick: username+ig @ gmail . com as it's treated as a new email for IG, but not gmail.

N И (@nikforester) reported@vasuman send a four-word prompt, and watch something happen (could be right, could be wrong) second this. Second this! But what about SMB folks? Adoption is a myth, fine. But in the SMB world it already happened. It just doesn't look like anything you'd put on a dashboard. Also, honest question. The crazy kids running 20 terminals with a self-improvement loop. Where's the output? Does it actually make sense to run those agents, or is it just metawork and a dopamine loop? No offense, I'm one of those kids. cmux + amp + opencode, 30B tokens in Codex and 37.8B in CC burned lately. A partner of mine, a business owner who vibe codes his own stuff, told me: you work for the AI, it doesn't work for you. Where's the money? **** the money, what's the end result? Who needs it? You? Is it worth it? He was right. Meanwhile he vibecodes his dead simple tasks, way dumber, and gets further. Four words, hit submit, like you said. Go through every source, read the threads, draft me the deck, build me a dashboard on supplies. 0 MCPs, 0 skill-packs files, no obsidian second brain. gmail connected and built-in deck-gen. Look terrible. Total AI SLOP. But his close rate went up. Average deal size went up too, because he composes the thing during the call, lol. Literally, recording the call, then stop it in a mid, send to codex and show some fancy diagram in 5 min. Again, it looks terrible. But! That's the real fit. He knows exactly what he wants and what it used to cost him in hours. He just never knew how. That's the only gap a model has to close. No dev wanted to build those simple things, it's boring and not possible to do that fast. A consultant tells him he doesn't need an LLM here, it's not wise - go pay an agency or an n8n guy. No offense to yours, seriously. But he doesn't want to fill in the brief to devs and spent hours of checking and communicating w them. He wants it done today, and he doesn't care if it's the correct architecture, because he can see the money. And not just him. In this particular business club there are 500+ other owners do the same and swap their clumsy prompts. Some of them have even in-house ai labs in their companies. Still they prompt it 4 words and fire submit. WORKING prompts lol. @vasuman So what do you make of that layer? Felt unfairly missing from the piece. That's where adoption is actually happening IMO. Getting back to my 12 terminals

luc comeau (@luc_comeau) reported@AnthropicAI it would be awesome if i could connect multiple Google Accounts - Im sure most have more than one account. Similarily, being able to switch Anthropic account (like in Gmail) in Claude/Claude Code would be much easier than logout/login allowing multiple account sessions.

Matt Annen (@mattannen) reportedSaaS Slash Update #2: RIP Richpanel Annual Savings: $10,000+ My contract is cancelled. I built a support system that is inside of our system. What does that mean? Much better context than any software could provide. That means our context layer + LLM = the best AI customer support possible. The tech stack is Gmail $0 and Sonnet 5 using our Claude Code OAuth (so basically free). This is not some half-baked AI support solution. Every email that comes in the LLM has everything down to the pages the customer visited, tracking along with details of tracking (out for delivery, etc), discount codes, prior conversations, all order history, status of order and I could go on and on. Then I layered in a learning layer. Each week a cron job picks up all the weeks tickets and evaluates AI's recommended response. If we overrode its suggested response it learns from it, updates it's own SOP's and improves. AI agents that continuously learn. I built CSTAT and a full analytics layer on top so we can see it get better over time. The goal is a 99% rate of our agents doing nothing but copy/pasting the agents recommended response.

Moe (@katibmoe) reporteda 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.

Alex Vacca (@itsalexvacca) reportedif your pipeline isn't growing and you think it's because one channel is failing or underperforming, stop. read this before you move that budget to a new channel. oftentimes the channel is doing its job. the real issue is one of the five layers every channel depends on. here's how to build your GTM system so pipeline grows predictably: 1/ foundation everything that has to be true before you spend a dollar on any channel. can you quote a real buyer describing their problem in their own words? if not, your messaging is a guess, and a channel doesn't fix a guess. it just delivers it to more people. we pull those exact phrases from sales call recordings. the inbox matters just as much: gmail now rejects unauthenticated bulk mail outright. if open rates dropped and the copy didn't change, check SPF, DKIM and DMARC before you touch a subject line. 2/ strategy most teams run one channel until it has a bad quarter, then call it dead. every channel has a bad quarter eventually, and when it's the only one you run, that quarter looks like the end. we run three that cover for each other: content warms people up, ads keep us in front of them, outbound starts the conversations. that shift alone took us from $40K to $90K a month. 3/ execution the channels themselves, where everyone starts and where most budgets get wasted. the most common version: paying for ads to reach strangers while the audience your content already earned sits there untouched. we get 100+ inbound meetings a month from linkedin without spending a dollar on ads, and the same people who read that content get our cold emails. by the time we show up in their inbox, they already know who we are. 4/ compounding most replies arrive on the later touches, but most teams stop following up long before that, look at the thin results, and conclude the channel stopped working. the follow-up is only half of this layer. the other half is what you count: meetings booked is a vanity metric any tool can inflate. pipeline created and revenue closed live in your CRM, and those are the numbers the business actually runs on. 5/ learning every tactic decays eventually. the teams that survive it sit down once a week and close the loop: which signal converted, which message landed, which channel paid for itself. the teams that skip this keep running the same play long after it stopped working, and when results dry up, the channel gets the blame. sound familiar? find your broken layer: > replies fine, revenue flat = layer 4 > one great month, then two dead ones = layer 1 > everything works a little, nothing compounds = layer 2 > open rates dropped, copy didn't change = layer 1, the inbox > busy team, nobody knows what worked = layer 5 fix the lowest broken layer first. if pipeline feels random, start at layer 1.

Xavier Rivera (@XavierRiveraX) reportedPortSwigger's Gareth Heyes demonstrated CSS/HTML sanitizer-bypass attacks against 6 major webmail providers at Black Hat USA 2026, letting content inside an email escape the message boundary and hit the trusted interface: - Outlook (+Firefox): label-jacking spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen, captures the typed password - Gmail: image-set() bypass chained with prompt injection via Claude Cowork's Gmail connector to steal a Slack token - Yahoo/AOL: paste-race bug exposes a 12-character Medium login token - Fastmail: two CSS mutation bugs plus a UI-hijacking flaw, since fixed - Proton Mail: proxy bypass that leaked recipient IPs, patched on retest Public PoCs are still live. Guidance: isolate HTML email in sandboxed iframes, restrict CSS.
