What’s InfoSec Twitter like nowadays?

#defcon wants you to have a safe and happy Pi Day.

I hadn't even really heard of this book but now I'm definitely going to have to read it

is this bad

Um, that's EXACTLY what's expected.

Meta trying to bury a book before they even read it is so funny www.wired.com/story/plaint...

I'll be honest, this blog gets funnier the more updates I add at the end. I think the cyber industry is desperate to make a crisis. doublepulsar.com/no-there-isn...

Are you REALLY a nonbinary bisexual polyamorous switch or do you just have ADHD and struggle with executive functions?

The Multi-State Information & Analysis Center contacted member states Wed night to share which services it can keep providing (Albert, MDBR, EDR, NCSR, & SOC) and which it can't (IR, CTI, member engagement, VDP) after its host organization lost federal funding. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

My Wednesday evening plans just changed...

Tim pool making a million dollars a month. Oh to be a right wing grifter 😫 I could be rich

the arduino IDE is bad but it's also the best

Again, just say "stop doing this" and get on with it.

How about "just don't?"

blinking an LED must feel really good for the arduino

The regex must be destroyed in Mount Doom.

What's a #Linux user's favorite dessert on Pi Day? Raspberry Pi!

I'll be teaching a 6-week graduate-level night course at Georgetown University in May-June called Cyber Operations. We'll look at ways that nations project power in cyberspace - their motives, methods, and impact. Looking forward to meeting students in the School of Foreign Service master's program

turns out all the issues I was having with ghidra were solved by updating to the latest release. who knew.

Cybersecurity is political. Period, end of story. If you could vote and didn't bother because it was boring you're just as responsible for loss of key research, ISAC funding, international collaboration, and federal jobs. Same if you kept using X. We warned you.

It's been a mystery what happened to Morgan Marquis-Boire when he disappeared yrs ago after being accused of rape. Turns out he secretly co-founded Unciphered, which cracks crypto wallets for owners who lost passwords. He used a fake name to hide his identity from employees until they unmasked him

Nothing helps sales like trying to ban a book. Smooth move. www.wired.com/story/plaint...

One of the undisclosed co-founders of Unciphered, a startup that hacks crypto wallets, is Morgan Marquis-Boire, a hacker who's faced multiple credible accusations of sexual assault and has admitted to rape. Reporting by @joemenn.bsky.social. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

I wish I was surprised by this. Morgan Marquis-Boire, a well known hacker who has faced multiple credible accusations of sexual violence, was secretly running a crypto security company.

They forgot to say "and governments and corporations try to disappear information." But you can freeze that critical information (or embarrassing, incriminating, criminal evidence) by using this tool to capture it for posterity.

Scoop from me at the Post: one of hackerdom’s biggest fallen heroes, Morgan Marquis-Boire, secretly co-founded the best-known company recovering locked up cryptocurrency.

Meta probably realizes that all-out war on this book will only help its sales. But they are furious that an insider--who signed an NDA!--is going White Lotus on them, showing what it's like on the inside. www.wired.com/story/plaint...

“The fact that there’s retribution from the president … is kind of frightening,” a CISA employee told me of the election security purge. “A very nefarious place to be.” Go inside CISA as it handles Trump's cuts and changes, in my new story...

White House chief information officer sent letter to federal agencies urging them to *not* lay off their cybersecurity teams. He was responding to questions from agencies asking whether cybersecurity workers are essential national security employees and therefore exempt from Musk-ordered layoffs.

NGL, I was putting off my mandatory harassment training figuring it would be outlawed before the due date...

The answer to "do you think person X has experienced harassment" in a harassment training is always yes.

NEW: Apple's challenge against the UK's backdoor order is in court today. But it is just one of a number of attacks on end-to-end encryption this year. France + Sweden made their own threats Some of the emerging threats are the most “blunt” and aggressive of those in recent memory, experts say

Alrighty then...

Email: "You have been assigned a mandatory course in Rippling for compliance purposes" - 12 clicks. It took 12 fscking clicks to start the course. There's bad UX and then there's openly hostile to the user UX.

Trump reading off a literal list of Tesla retail prices is the purest distillation yet of a dynamic that won’t end well. It’s already going quite badly. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Poland's first abortion clinic in decades is a dilemma for Donald Tusk www.bloomberg.com/news/article... with Natalia Ojewska

There are only bad options. Given that all of them will hurt Americans, this should be about not colluding.

“The Spanish Prime Minister, whose country ranks at the bottom of NATO’s military budget rankings, has called for a broader definition of defense spending to include cybersecurity and efforts to combat climate change”. Sorry, but this is absurd.

Dependabot's implementation of Go modules continues to be poor. FWIW, I recommend Go projects just turn it off, run govulncheck in a scheduled GitHub Action for security updates, and otherwise update dependencies manually when it makes sense in their release cycle.

is it just me or is the audio in severance kinda mid? if it were most other TV shows I wouldn't even comment on it but compared to the excellent visuals it really sticks out to me as subpar

discord nitro but the only thing it changes is to stop trying to advertise discord nitro at you

Feels like probably the most valuable contribution you can make right now is to raise money to systematically primary every democratic politician who is blowing it in this moment.

I understand that the courts don't want to issue contempt rulings and speed run a Constitutional crisis, but if any of us pulled this non responsive nonsense, we'd be held in contempt and it would be well justified. Stop playing chicken and make the admin show how far it's willing to go.

DOGE has 10 people inside the social security administration. New from @makenakelly.bsky.social and @davidgilbert.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/doge-o...

NEW: We named the 10 DOGE Operatives inside the Social Security Administration, a team that is among the largest DOGE units deployed to any government agency. read @makenakelly.bsky.social and @davidgilbert.bsky.social:

ICYMI: Big new story from me.

Never confuse "people aren't cancelling our services" with "we're providing the same level of quality we were last year." Once trust in quality is gone, the road to recovery is long and few organizations survive it in any recognizable form.

#linux meme for you

"Increasing the *married* birth rate" is quite a goal to state explicitly...

Given the right's insistence of the lab leak theory, you'd think they'd be REALLY interested in not firing these specific NIH employees.

"Customer obsession"

This, and the whole defamation lawsuit preceding it, is absolutely, 100%, bullshit. Raphael is an amazing journalist and he's only done his job, and done it well. This is purely intimidation. Shameful.
