Re: Report plagiarism (copy/paste) here. Mods: please give temp or permban as needed
This is not a plagiarism report, more a question about citation rules.
I mean, the poster is 'staff' himself, so it's probably all good. But I was surprised at the fact that apparently if you post an image that has a little username in a corner, that's a valid citation and not plagiarism. Honestly, at first sight (if I hadn't known this drawing style), it seemed like this user's contribution to Bitcoin Pizza Day 2022.
If it was my post, I would have included at least one of the 3 links I sent afterwards.

This is the talented person behind these great drawings:

And her website:

Especially since I don't know what kind of username that is. It could be a Bitcointalk username, a Twitter username, Mastodon, Instagram or any other platform with usernames.
When I want to share a larger piece of text or an image like this, I like to just quickly wrap it in a quote like here:
It's quick and easy to do and you're on the safe side with this, in my opinion. Interested readers can also click the link and don't have to register on various webpages to search for a tiny username.
What do you guys think?

It's a cute picture, but you really should add sources when publishing work that is not yours.Source to this picture:

Quote from: https://hothardware.com/news/how-cheap-smart-id-card-reader-sold-amazon-became-national-security-risk
The contractor purchased a $15 card reader sold by Saicoo on Amazon. The device has 4.5/5 stars and 11,700 ratings and appears in the sponsored listing section at the top of the Amazon search results for “PIV (Personal Identity Verification) card reader” or “CAC card reader.” The listing and reviews would suggest that this particular CAC reader is a safe and reputable device. However, when the contractor plugged the device into his computer running Windows 10, he was met with a message saying that the device’s drivers weren’t functioning properly. Windows advised that he find newer drivers on the vendor’s website.
The contractor followed this instruction and found drivers for the device on Saicoo’s website, but didn’t install them right away. He instead uploaded the file to Virustotal, which scanned the file for malware with 63 different antivirus tools. 43 of these tools indicated that the file contained malware, specifically the Ramnit worm.
