This reminds me of the scam reported on here last week, where scammers raised a false large invoice, then invited the mid-level manager to a zoom meeting where the CFO and CEO of the public company were on the call (very public as they needed enough video to deepfake them) and told the guy to approve the invoice.
The gitlab thing is just “harmless” fun but real scams will force chnage - I predict in five years
- every large and maybe small companies will have public private key based approvals (not “I approve” in an email from an iPhone).
- PKIs will then be everywhere (at last!)
- meetings will be recorded and transcribed (which will have huge knock on effects)
- the push back against remote work will be real and large. Not sure what side I am on
