You know, it's funny to me that Microsoft rendering most dual-boot systems unbootable last week for the tenth time in recent memory didn't provoke nearly the media cycle nor a Microsoft-hosted software summit to avoid the problems it caused, as opposed to the summit they called for September to renew attention on Crowdstrike.

i mean clearly the palantir were actually persistent access mechanisms to a popular VPN service in Middle-Earth, highlighting one of the major problems with security monoculture we continue to see repeated.

preparing my slide deck, "Galloping Towards Better Security: Rohirrim, Insider Threats, and You"
and despite the appearance of Grima Wormtongue and Sauron, it'll still be less evil than most employee monitoring schemes.

So I don't want to speak ill of the dead but I'm currently thinking about King Theoden of Rohan hiring a guy named Wormtongue as senior advisor and for real the Tolkien world needs better security awareness training.

You've taken a perfectly fine door and given it anxiety.

They arrested the CEO of Telegram?!?!
What’s next, arresting the CEO of Cloudflare?!?!?!?!?!?!
Where does it end? How can entrepreneurs feel safe courting and profiting off humungous amounts of criminal activity in such an environment?!?!?

Ah lovely, 8.8 CVE with published POC in ffmpeg.

Got my Change Healthcare data breach notification.
2 years of IDX credit monitoring and two pages of boilerplate "how to protect yourself" info.
I've never even heard of IDX (and I monitor elsewhere, with a constant freeze at all 3 big agencies).

dunno, been a while since I leaned into the hilarity - you're right though, the lion's share have basically been restricted manuals

this is how you avoid repeated TS/SCI leaks on your player forums, vs warthunder

Busy learning regex lately and it’s true what they say, when all you have is regex every problem looks like an omg why isn’t this working I’ve moved every slash and dot three times and I hate every decision that has led me to this point.
Oh, a nail? I’m supposed to say every problem looks like a nail?
…what regex syntax is that…

Yep, there were definitely mistakes made. No denyin' that!
I just think it's ludicrous that enterprises who criminally underfunded and/or outsourced all IT ops are blaming Crowdstrike for their inability to gracefully engage in disaster recovery.

2024-07-31 16:32:44

that was just partner marketing.
I think technically, Crowdstrike will come out much the better after this, assuming they come out of it.
I like the cut of their jib, to be honest, and stand by 'em.

Definitely a lot of humanistic overlap - wanting beings to be free from suffering, sangha and community, interdependence and sustainability, etc etc. Can't wait to hear more from you.

🙏
I am sorry for your suffering, and wish you to be free of it in whatever form works best for you.
Your special abilities include an uncanny one to draw people into community and cause, and I am hopeful for what comes next for you.

addicted to this dev tycoon game (Mad Games Tycoon 2)
but
you can't create a security team, and for that i am incensed.

oh man, we need an infosec tycoon game.

2024-03-21 17:29:54

Sure we've got influencers, but really central to infosec community cohesion is the shitposters. I worry that emerging infosec students aren't told about the importance of our shitposters. We need a list for them.
Maybe even a college course.
