And why is that?

Because over-blocking a website of small hackerspace is *cheap*. "No downside".

Because "hacker" and "hack" have been appropriated by those too lazy to be specific in their use of language when talking about "computer stuff." Also, it drives clicks!

Result? Some algorithm somewhere sees "hacker" and goes bananas: "danger, Will Robinson!"

So forgive me when in the future I react *badly* to some random toot mislabeling cybercriminals as "hackers".

In the meantime, if you want to help our small #hackerspace get our website un-blocked, go here and "report a detection error":
safebrowsing.google.com/safebr

And long-term, consider not abusing the h-word when you want to talk about cybersecurity. Even if it's a tiny bit more difficult at first because due to force of habit:

I am so damn tired of having to prove, after a decade-and-a-half in #InfoSec, that I am not a one-man APT myself, ffs!

And if you happen to ever be in Reykjavík on a Thursday evening, come have a beverage with us.

Hopefully the site gets unblocked soon, we try to keep it up to date with the details of where we meet each week.

Oh by the way, this is what the site looks like (and yes, we will soon move away from the gmail address, because — you guessed it — #FuckGoogle).

@rysiek Wrt email, I use protonmail with my own domain, I say #FuckGoogle at least once a day, life outside the #Matrix is so much better 😎

@Codified @rysiek, but life inside #matrix (matrix.org) is so much better :P

@rysiek gmail sadly has similar policies to safe search, ie every SharePoint domain is sent to spam.

Has anyone tried making a list of where Google's security policies have ended up also attacking a competitor to their services?
