False positive Memes

When your PayPal account gets nuked because you forgot that "buying capsules" online sounds suspiciously like you're purchasing illicit substances. Classic developer moment—thinking you're just supporting an indie artist, but PayPal's fraud detection algorithm is like "DRUG DEALER ALERT! 🚨" Meanwhile, your perfectly innocent transaction for art commissions gets flagged faster than a SQL injection attempt. The artist is fine, but your financial reputation? Executed without a debug option. Next time maybe specify "digital art capsules" instead of sounding like you're on a Silk Road shopping spree.

The security industry in a nutshell, folks. You hire "analysts" who confirm they're analysts, confirm they get paid to analyze, but when they actually find something—like a Log4j vulnerability that needs immediate patching—management's response is "Nah, P0 incident? That's an EOD problem." Nothing quite like hiring security experts only to ignore their expertise when it requires actual work. The classic corporate cycle: pay for security, ignore security recommendations, wonder why you got breached. Then blame the security team who warned you six months ago. For the uninitiated, Log4j was that delightful little vulnerability from 2021 that had security teams working through Christmas while executives were sipping eggnog and asking "can't we just deal with it after the holidays?"

Your antivirus just nuked half your game mods because they looked "suspicious." And there it is, smugly declaring itself the hero. Nothing says "I've saved your computer" like deleting files you spent three hours configuring. Next time you're wondering why your character is suddenly bald with missing textures, remember who your real enemy is. Not malware—it's the overzealous digital hall monitor that thinks your custom sword replacement is clearly ransomware.
