It’s been over a decade since Alaska significantly increased its funding for public education.
Two school districts are now suing the state for what they say is a long-running failure to give students a “sound basic education.”

Here's an interesting Q.:
When university students sign up to the student loan process are they really properly informed consumers? indeed could they be, as the terms of the ongoing debt are changing (again) by fiat of Govt?
Might the student loan system actually be a case of mass miss-selling by the Govt., but if so, what could be done?
A growing campaign - Rethink Repayment - argues the rate of repayment should be reduced (at the very least).

Don’t let MFA lull you into complacency. Advanced phishing kits can still slip through.
Before the Thanksgiving holiday, one of our customers alerted us to an Evilginx MITM phishing campaign targeting university students and SSO portals. At least 18 American institutions were targeted.
We tested several approaches for large-scale detection, including analyzing web server fingerprints and HTTP artifacts. However, this proved challenging because Evilginx operates as a proxy between the victim’s browser and the legitimate login page, making its behavior and content nearly indistinguishable from the real site. In the end, we mostly relied on DNS for confirmation and classification.
Here is a short blog about the campaign and actor, including involved domains and IPs.
