Security Boulevard is telling me that when they repost my content they get a lot of views — scraping my blog even generated one of their most popular pages in 2022.
As we close out 2022, we at Security Boulevard wanted to highlight the most popular articles of the year. Following is the latest in our series of the Best of 2022:
I disagree entirely with analysis that lands on that page. It wasn’t popular at all compared to others on my blog.
My page about vulnerabilities in Tesla engineering, just for one example, had over twice as many views.
1 Death = Total Recall: Volvo Quietly Blows Tesla Out of the Water
Security is all about safety, because security is about the ethics of information technology.
I hope that perspective comes through in the above Google post they gave an award, while I’m sure it does in all my high traffic Tesla posts they didn’t award.
When I don’t see anyone elsewhere connecting the dots I start to write about them, which maybe explains why that boring Google browser vulnerability post got so much attention from the SB scraper.
North Korea hunted Americans on Google Chrome with CVE-2022-0609 to steal crypto coin and intelligence.
To my mind Tesla killing so many Americans is bigger news than Google losing everyone’s coins (funding North Korean nuclear proliferation), and strangely my site traffic tends to agree with me.
But if someone wants to give me an award for what they like, who am I to argue?
