Don't believe the hype.

There was also a really interesting episode on Nova about this the other day.

A new report from Securonix details how Russian threat actors are targeting the European hospitality sector with novel social engineering campaigns that invoke the "Blue Screen of Death," highlighting how Russia shapes campaigns to certain sectors to increase likelihood of engagement

This about sums it up for me.

Happy New Year to all friends, colleagues, and fellow humans who celebrate it! May 2026 be infinitely better than 2025. Hard to imagine it being much worse.

I saw Kat at a rally in DC. It was pretty awesome.

CBS NEWS: “We can’t report on the current murdering spree until we get the serial killer’s side of the story.”

It's so hard to watch so many of my efforts in identifying Russian influence efforts go down the drain. www.rawstory.com/amp/trump-26...

This is undoubtedly the best Christmas message I have heard in a long time. It even has references to the Bible AND Charles Dickes! Enjoy. youtu.be/E4D5doaKulk?...

A very interesting report from Business Insider on why utility prices are rising so much. It really jibes with what my brother, who works for a utility on the west coast told me. youtu.be/pk0Zm_xpk3c?...

This really is a great post about our philosophy on malware clustering and code families. If you missed it, add it to your holiday reading list. 💚

I am also very skeptical. Until regulations impose a specific cost, companies will continue to do the bare minimum.

This is really unfortunate. I spoke with people from various law enforcement agencies who told me about how valuable the program was for them and how many attacks it had prevented.

Funny how Trump took time out to praise Jake Paul, a white dude who is basically a famous amateur and who got his ass handed to him by a black professional boxer. I have nothing against Paul. But why would Trump praise him? He never even mentioned Anthony Joshua by name.

Bizzare! The Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS) communications officer emphasized in an email to Ars to “please make sure it is noted that this student wasn’t simply carrying a clarinet. This individual was holding it as if it were a weapon.” arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Really great interview with Ken Casey. I've been a big fan for a while, but recently became a huge fan. They are some of the very few musicians standing up to the current fascist regime. youtu.be/RVcWLObekRU?...

This administration is absolutely lawless. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Another huge issue, and I don't think people even know this is a thing, is that just about everything is done with smart phones now. And many (most?) seniors literally cannot work their phones. Signing things, texting, dealing with spam and fraud or even using the basic functions? They're often lost
