Has anyone ever tried to change the cabin A/C filter in a 2008 Mazda 3? I feel like I need another vacation after doing just that. I had to buy new tools. And I already have a lot of tools.

They're selling large luggage, too large for the cabin, well inside the airport terminal in Milano. So you're supposed to buy it and then exit the terminal to check it in?

A friendly guy walks up to me like he's my friend. After a short talk, he gave me a nice bracelet and one I can give to my girlfriend... and then he asks for money. I returned the bracelets immediately. I already know this scam well and how it works, but social engineering is no joke.

Staying in a rented apartment on my vacation in Italy. The owner just leave the router login visible on the device and I could login. If you rent out your place on Booking, Airbnb etc, please don't make this mistake.

Major power outage in Prague and surrounding areas in Czech Republic. It happened exactly at 12:00 CEST which is very suspicious. I wonder if it's a cyber attack.

Efter at have set #Kontant på #DRTV og undersøgt virksomhederne bag, kan jeg på ingen måde anbefale at købe produkter hos MyDATA.dk eller få rådgivning om IT sikkerhed hos Dansk IT Sikkerhed (dkits.dk). Brug i stedet cfcs.dk eller dkr.dk/it #DKNyheder #dkpol

Want to hear something wild? The remaining Communists here in Czech Republic supports Trump. They also want to celebrate the Soviet Union for liberating the country, even though it became a coup and eventually an occupation. US also liberated parts of this country... and left.

Microsoft drops law firm Simpson Thacher, that made a deal with Trump, hired Jenner & Block who decided to fight back against Trump. Together with the news that Microsoft pledged to protect their operations and data in Europe, is good news. Good to see a corporation stand up against tyranny.

When you thought it couldn't get any worse.

Do I really need to tell how much of a privacy and security threat this could be? Do I want to compromise the security of my office, privacy of myself and possibly everyone I meet on the street? No, thank you.

Microsoft is clearly listening to concerns from European governments, who are suggesting companies should find alternatives to American AI and cloud solutions. There is a fear the US government could pull the plug on systems that we rely on for almost everything we do.

While it's good to see more people are considering encrypted messaging apps like Signal, just remember: They're only as secure as you keep your device. Your information won't stay safe and secure, if you send classified information to your friends and family.

There seems to be a DOGE-themed ransomware attack going around these days. Ransomware is when you open a file, usually received via phishing email, that encrypts your data. Remember, there's no guarantee that you'll get your data back even if you choose to pay. www.trendmicro.com/en_us/resear...

Part of my job is about educating employees on how to act with technology in a secure manner. But even I can't fix stupidity.

Carl Sagan was a great science communicator and ambassador of critical thinking. @neildegrassetyson.com we need you and your fellow scientists more than ever.

A Chinese company has created the "first flying car", even though it's been done before. I can spot a few flaws. I once cut my hand pretty badly when trying to land a DJI Mini in my palm. Imagine what those rotors can do to a person.

Det er meget fint at have en log, men det hjælper ikke noget, hvis der ikke er en ordentlig audit af dem der rent faktisk har adgang til personfølsomme data. Hvis én læge har slået tusindvis af borgeres personfølsomme oplysninger op, bør der være en alarmklokke der ringer.

According to the Trump administration's own formula, the tariffs should have been four times lower. φ should have been closer to 1 - not 0.25 - for their formula to match the actual tariffs set. So the high tariffs are a mistake?

This pretty much explains the economic policy of Trump.

Nu synes jeg de strammer den med sensationalismen hos TV2. Microsoft alene har masser af infrastruktur i Europa, som ikke alene servicerer det europæiske marked, men også er forbundet med resten af verden. Selv hvis Trump ville, tror jeg ikke han kan tvinge Microsoft til at lukke ned i en region.

Here's a very basic message: Check who's actually in the loop when sharing sensitive information. Also, consider where you're sharing the sensitive information. It shouldn't be that difficult for government officials.

Just saw Michelle Wolf in Prague. Really great comedian.

I can't believe I got this iPod (4th generation) 20 years ago. Having 20 GB of music in your pocket was pretty wild at the time. Immediately transferred all my CDs via iTunes.

Any USAID folks working on cybersecurity, infrastructure, technology projects: please feel free to reach out. How will DOGE impact the work you do? I'm on Signal at JennaMcLaughlin.54.

Shortcuts in macOS is one of the most exiting things I'm exploring. Want to create a fully offline password generator? Just add 'Run Shell Script', copy the commands from the screenshot, add 'Copy to Clipboard' - and you've got a fresh new password every time.

#DeepSeek has obvious issues with censorship, both with their online service and the offline version. Not saying other LLM's don't have issues, but this is ridiculous.

I let my bank handle my investments. A few months ago, they asked if I wanted to invest in their AI/tech portfolio. Hearing "AI," I declined, expecting a market bubble or disruption. Let's see how it unfolds.

With the new Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek coming, it's a really good reminder not to enter any sensitive or confidential information into these products.

So Trump fires the people investigating Salt Typhoon, who reportedly accessed calls and messages for Trump and JD Vance. I'm not sure what to make of this.

#ThreatWarning Scammers are currently sending phishing text messages to #Binance customers, saying their account is under threat and users must move their money to a secure account - stealing #cryptocurrency #bitcoin Do NOT call the number. www.binance.com/en/support/f...

The #smartwatch for the #Cybersecurity people out there. #merrychristmas #happyholidays #Casio

I saw this new #AI toy / pet robot #Ropet on #Kickstarter. It connect to #ChatGPT, has a camera and microphone. Yet, no mention of how they will protect your privacy or your data. Imagine this in your kids room or your own bedroom. I think I'll pass.

A nasty #phishing attempt to steal credit card numbers from #Brobizz customers (a #Danish toll payment system). I typed in random letters for email and password, and real looking (but fake) VISA card numbers. But there's no check if it's real. #cybersecurity #scam #denmark #danmark

A woman on the tram opened her #MicrosoftSurface tablet, entered her #password - which I noticed to be a number sequence like 123456. After that, she opened a remote desktop connection to her work computer, without password confirmation. I beg you! Please choose strong passwords for your devices!

#FBI is now warning that Chinese #hackers can read your text messages. #SMS is NOT encrypted and should be avoided for ANY communication containing sensitive information. Keep your information safe by using apps like #Signal offering end-to-end encryption.

While #TikTok might be banned or sold, it's a good reminder, that it's not the only #app that might pose a risk. No matter if you're in #government or not, always be critical of what you're installing, what you might be sharing and what these apps can see on your #iPhone or #Android.

Only hire the best for your #cybersecurity team! 🤣 Just unplug the monitor, when your servers are being attacked?

#Scam artists and organized criminals love #Christmas time. People are stressed and probably less cautious, when they're looking for a great deal online. But before paying for your order, take your time and do a bit of research if you don't know the shop. It can save you a lot of heartache.

Welcome to all the new followers ✌️ I mainly post about how to stay secure in our digital world, both for IT professionals and mere mortals. I'm an #InfoSec Awareness consultant for #DHL IT Services*, the company providing IT solutions for the logistics company. * I don't speak on behalf of DHL

Scan my QR code, if you dare 😇 #QRcodes are used for many things. In my city of #Prague, they are placed on #parkingmeters so you can pay with your phone. I was immediately suspicious, as anyone could have put a sticker on with a QR code, navigating me to a fake website and steal my money.

Soon the #Christmas madness will start and it will be a stressful time for many. But the stress shouldn't be the cause of being less cautious. Be aware of the safety and risks of using #creditcard #debitcard #applepay #googlepay #venmo #giftcards or #banktransfer

Are you a #smallbusiness owner? Having an online presence is crucial. Have you invested in #cybersecurity measures to protect your business? Have you taken any courses to enhance your cybersecurity skills? Or do you feel you're not a target of attackers and #scammers?

The most popular #Apple #Mac computers are #MacBooks - but just like Windows, they are not fully secure out of the box. Make sure to set a password and require password after screen saver starts or the display turns off. Disk encryption keeps your files safe, even if the laptop is stolen.

In #Infosec what do you think companies should invest more in? #People or #technology?

Don't want your files in the wrong hands? Follow these basic steps for a good start in #Windows11 Make sure you have a password. Turn on disk encryption, or else anyone can extract your files. Check for updates, so you have the latest security patches. And always lock your computer, when away.

It's from last year, but a good reminder that ransomware can hit even obscure companies, that most of us don't even know about. This company had to shut down. If you have a business or just work for one, don't be afraid to ask questions. It's not just about data. It's about people's livelyhood.

Received an email with a #PayPal transaction that you bought #Bitcoin - but you didn't? They want you to call the phone number mentioned in the PDF file. Once you're on the line, they will do anything to get your money. Go to #PayPal website directly and check your account. Don't call the number.

Over-the-top warnings in your #browser are probably fake. If you call the number, they are more likely interested in your money, rather than fixing any issues. For any urgent messages, no matter where, don't act on it right away. Always think twice before clicking, calling or paying for anything.

Downloading malicious software on the internet is extremely easy, even for simple tasks like converting a PDF file. Here, I clicked a random link, downloaded it, and scanned it for malware. Installing it could track my keystrokes, send my credentials, or encrypt my files and demand a ransom.
