Ice for the first 24 hours to stop it spreading; then treat with heat, 20 minutes every couple hours (a hot wash cloth will do). The heat will promote blood flow through the area and help your body reabsorb the escaped blood.
Source: these were the arm care instructions for bruising when I worked at a plasma center, most donors had their affected arm cleared for use again within 3 days.

Yeah if your email has been "pwned" in a data breach (see haveibeenpwned.com) you'll never stop getting log in attempts from people credential stuffing your email address wherever they can. Which is why you should use different, strong passwords for every site you use, and an extra strong one for your email.

Same. I had pretty bad bruising after mine and the arnica was incredibly helpful.

I used to be known for liking chess. People have gifted me novelty chessboards several times in my life... *sigh* Don't.... don't buy novelty chessboards for people. Never in my life have I ever seen a novelty chessboard that was fucking reasonably playable. Not in person, not online.
They're terrible.

Know there’s a phishing scam going on where someone will say they accidentally reported your profile for a marketplace transaction

Reply to LPT: If you are hurting this year for money and you don't have a lot for your kids for Christmas/holidays, hide what the gifts you have, make a treasure hunt with clues and riddles, and stretch it out to give them a great experience. by pinheadbrigade
I love this idea! For so many, esp these past couple of years, times have been extraordinarily difficult so creating an amazing holiday experience such as this will make even the most lean of times special and memorable. Great idea, OP! 🤗

There are 2FA phishing kits around now that make it really easy to phish peoples 2fa codes. The power of MFA is redundancy.
If one of the engines on your plane dies, the first thing you do is go repair the engine, not fly around on only one.
The most important thing i know about infosec is that everything is hackable and no-one is immune to social engineering.

Managing access is largely about risk vs convenience.
Every major password manager has a plethora of options to mitigate any reasonable risk even if someone got a hold of your vault.
The only way they’re getting in is if you used a weak password to begin with.

Exactly. Criminals love people who do this, they even have an attack named after it; credential stuffing.

Using the same password everywhere is a fun game if you like credential stuffing.
No system is 100% safe, but if you’re not using a weak master password and also have MFA enabled even with a stolen vault your passwords are safe by all reasonable measures.

I have super easy passwords on some of my gmail and other not that important accounts and don’t get login attempts, and yes I’d know because whenever I login to them on my own devices I get notified and need confirmation. You definitely have a key logger… time for malwarebytes or switch to a mac if windows is that difficult to keep secure for you

I really should get my self hosted bitwarden set up on my pi. Just really lazy to do it.
