I watched Bad Bunny's half time show last night. Even though I don't speak his language, I enjoyed it. The final message of beating hate with love is not just a good message for all, but something that we need to constantly be reminded of. 1/4

I am now raising rent funds for another Minneapolis family who has been impacted by ICE. For this family, the remaining need is $775. Can we make this happen for them today? I believe in us & will post receipts! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please help and share! Thank you 💖

Never ask how much worse can it be.... I guarantee you will not like the answer.

Great Quote I saw today: "Cybersecurity doesn’t reward what you know. It rewards how fast you adapt."

CYBR.HAK.CON is coming to Plano, TX! I have joined forces with @cybrseccon.bsky.social to start a hacker and practitioner conference in the DFW area.

I am claiming Taggart's Razor: Never ascribe to AI what can be explained by organic human incompetence.

Propose we replace "spot the fed" at DEF CON (since there's so many of them anyway) with "six degrees to Epstein" this year

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting. More accurate terms: - observers - witnesses - volunteers - neighbors - residents - people

2015. Open source. Just recently found. "The flaw occurs because telnetd passes the user-controlled USER environment variable directly to login(1) without sanitization." And OSS is more secure? Can't be more secure if you don't have the eyes to find flaws. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

Today I leave R. J. O'Brien after 7 1/2 years. I have learned, and done my best to keep them secure but the time has come to move on. I have new adventures starting soon. Thanks to the team and leadership at RJO for these past number of years.

Not surprised by this. www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/prompt-...

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Seems like a lot of folks are about to learn some sad things about where telnet is still in use.

Even with tonight’s loss, Da bpBears surpassed what I figured this season would be. I figured improvement from last year but never thought division champs, beat packers in the regualr and post season, being the second seed and so many wins. It has been a good season.

Gonna be a thin conference year for me it seems. The one's I usually got to that are near me all keep falling on major Jewish holidays. :(

When I talk about being a proud dad of a goalie, this is what his hard work does. Snag the puck out of the air. This is a skill challenge at a tournament. He won a trophy for most saves.

Blog headline from a well known security company... "Threat Actors Actively Targeting LLMs " Yeah tell us something we didn't know. The article does get into methods and stuff, but seriously, that is a headline that makes ya go DUH.

Small choo choo of my brain... 10-15 years ago Spellcheck was able to give a more accurate choice of what you were trying to spell. This was before "AI". As Machine LEarning has advanced and AI has shown up, how is it that spellcheck is worse than ever before? This is why I have trouble with AI

Most security can be considered simple. That does not make it easy. Simple and tough is how a lot of it is.

Literal police state behavior.

And my wish for bluesky is that it would remember where you were at and start your view from there instead of making you scroll backwards through time when you open it up to check your feeds.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

First @chicago_wolves game of 2026. Packed in tonight!

Unless I'm missing something, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, Twitter's AI is cranking out CSAM deepfakes, Elon Musk is making jokes about it, and nobody is doing anything to stop it or hold anyone at Twitter accountable for its creation and distribution. Is that right?
