Hello Folks!

 

My Country is celebrating - "VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK" these days, & when I went to report something to the "Vigilance Ombudsman" website - the following anomaly caught my attention.

 

I wish to understand if it has entirely to do with the destination Web server? OR, my ISP is to be equally blamed for this?

 

Help me gain an Insight to its intricacy.

 

Thanks.

Says the cert date expired... Either your clock is off on your PC, or it really expired.. So yeah your going to get warnings..  That your connection is not private or someone is stealing something is a bad wording if you ask me..

 

Since it says your clock is correct for the date, then yeah the cert is OLD...

Getting the warning too.. But my browser doesn't try to scare the ###### out of me with saying stuff like my connection is not private or someone is spying on me..  Doesn't surprise me at all ;)  Not like governments are efficient at doing ###### ;)

 

Its a SHA-1 cert anyway, its good that its expired.. If not you should of been getting a warning about that ;)

Hello BudMan!

 

You are one amongst my favorite pals on this forum.:rolleyes:

 

So please suggest should I still go ahead & report everything I want to on this platform?

 

Your response clearly implies that the issue has nothing to do with my ISP spying over my activities..or anything like that.

 

Update ::: Our Government do not wants its Citizens to report over the matters of Corruption! The site in itself is reporting --Server down or a lookalike! Check out!

Well they have cert that is WELL expired, your talking months not days or hours.  I wouldn't use that site for anything, clearly nobody is monitoring it or they would know their freaking cert is expired.. You are prob the 1 user on the planet trying to go there ;) hehehe

 

Report the site is down to some other gov site that does work ;)

Very True!

 

It turns out as if this "Vigilance Awareness Week" is nothing but a Sham!

 

Central Vigilance Commission website is very much accessible at http://cvc.nic.in/.

 

However, the relevant Hyperlink through which we can lodge a Corruption complaint is......probably deliberately made Dysfunctional to truly 'celebrate' this occasion! Observation of such 'Awareness weeks' generally remain restricted to Photo-Ops & nothing more!:(

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By monterxz · Posted

      I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."

    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
    • Meta is reusing old DDR4 RAM in its servers instead of buying new hardware

      It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...
