#falsepositive — Public Fediverse posts

Wow – pure SnakeOil, those so-called anti-virus or anti-malware scanners! "we are unable to proceed with the whitelisting request unless the application is available on the Google Play Store"?!? WTF?!? 🤯

And yes, that's part of a real response a dev got.

So they claim: your app is malware, as long as it is not at Google Play. I'd say we've heard it the other way around, too…

Аналитик, который кричал «Волки!»: как мы перестали бороться с алертами и начали думать о фроде иначе

Привет, Хабр! На связи Владимир Сыропятов, Senior Analyst в Garage Eight. Все же в детстве слушали сказки? Так вот, я бы хотел вспомнить одну из них — про мальчика и волков. В ней ребенок так часто зря кричал «Волки!», что жители деревни перестали реагировать на предупреждения. А когда волки пришли по-настоящему, ему никто не поверил. Я это всё к тому, что в антифроде эта история повторяется регулярно, только вместо мальчика — система мониторинга, вместо деревни — операционная команда, а вместо волков — реальный фрод, который незаметно «подкрадывается», пока все заняты ложными тревогами. Именно такую картину я обнаружил на одной из платформ для управления инвестициями, когда пришел туда как антифрод-аналитик.

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

We usually see only the things we are looking for — so much so that we sometimes see them where they are not.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 238 (1955)

Home Office to spend £1.3M on age-determining algorithm | The Register | I wonder what their acceptable false positive rate will be?

I am betting that I could just return “18+” and be correct more than 90% of the time:

A contract tender … “Home Office are seeking to procure an algorithm that can accurately predict the age of a subject,” the contract’s description reads. “This will have multiple use cases for Home Office, an example could/would be to assist in determining the age of those who are encountered without verifiable identity documentation.”

👨‍🏫 Because mastering #OSINT starts with understanding the language.

🔎 Let’s explore: What does #FalsePositive mean?

"A False Positive is an information that seems relevant at first but in reality, it has no connection to the target."

⚠️ False positives can waste your valuable time and in some cases, jeopardize your #investigation.

👉 That’s why, when we integrate a new module into Epieos, we make sure it doesn’t generate false positives.

Delivering a #stable, #accurate, and #reliable OSINT solution is part of our core commitment.

After checking this account, I don't see anything to support the @moderation.bsky.app @safety.bsky.app decision to label the entire account as "Spam". Poor kid (as per bio), their #Bluesky experience went down massively. Another damaging #FalsePositive.

HIP 13044 is a member of the Helmi Stream, the remains of a dwarf galaxy absorbed by the Milky Way that's named after astronomer Amina Helmi, who discovered it in 1999. This is an image of it via ESO's Digitized Sky Survey 2 and Davide De Martin--I've put a circle around it, as it's pretty nondescipt even in this close-up.

In 2010 it was claimed that the star had a 1.25 Jupiter-mass planet orbiting it with a period of 16.2 days. (1/2)
