Johnson Controls has dropped their latest mixtape, ‘The Mitigation Mixtape,’ featuring hits like “Update Your Software” and “Change Your Passwords.” They also suggest deleting or editing the infamous api.log file, where all these secrets were spilled. It’s kind of like cleaning up after your own party – tedious but necessary.
