Russian intelligence can't unduly influence a UK Prime Minister if they can't work out who it is.

There's a trial here in Finland right now involving a rich dude and a bunch of scammers, and the whole thing is just the right kind of bizarre. A friend of mine described it as a Coen Brothers type of scenario, and I gotta agree. Just some incredibly bad judgment on display here.10:59 AM ∙ Oct 17, 2022

(Incidentally, here's a photo of the MAFIA CONTRACT. You can tell it's pretty legit. I know you can't read it if you don't know Finnish, but let me assure you both grammar and spelling are pretty fucky.)

Also, the latest URL Rewrite filter from Microsoft STILL isn't good enough.
Why? The IIS URL Rewrite filter has a universal bypass for ALL (not just Exchange) ASPX targets where the request uses the x-up-devcap-post-charset bypass, as described by @irsdl 
Will Dormann @wdormann@irsdl @GossiTheDog @testanull This x-up-devcap-post-charset URL Rewrite bypass for IIS DOES indeed work! If you wish to test it:
1) The target page must be ASPX. Not just ASP.
2) The request must have the binary encoded values. URLEscaped results in a 500 Error in URL Rewrite.
3) The '=' must NOT be encoded. https://t.co/a0cvMN3egD1:03 PM ∙ Oct 16, 2022

And last but not least. The Belarusian-Ukrainian border is almost entirely covered by the impassable Polesie marshes, the largest wetlands in Europe. The few sections along the roads where the Russians attacked in February have been turned by Ukrainians into the Maginot Line. 15/
