#scamalert unauthorized use of my and others’ images on this scam site that claims you can get in touch with various cybersecurity people through them. Pretty sure neither @schneier.com nor I have phone numbers in India 🤦🏻‍♀️

@delchi.bsky.social was SUCH a huge cDcNSF booster and organizer. He had a tough time of it, and it affected him a lot of ways, some of which were hard for him and others, but man he put in the work. He was particularly focused on disability access and awareness at hacker cons. RIP.

Update on the ffmpeg vs Google Big Sleep AI vuln disclosure debate: Google responds with all the ways it supports both ffmpeg & open source, which is great, but doesn’t mention if it will use its AI CodeMender to pair patches with bug reports in the future 🤔 Let’s hope they do x.com/k8em0/status...

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Election Night Watch parties: 🎉 Me:

Meanwhile on X, Google’s Big Sleep AI was called out by ffmpeg to kindly provide patches with their flood of AI vulnerability reports, polarizing security researchers between ‘not our job to fix’ & ‘commercial vendors should support FOSS they use in commercial products with dev help’

The most French story since bumbling jewel thieves hit the Louvre.

Today is another good reminder of @k8em0.bsky.social's iconic line: We have an internet built on rock n roll and silly string.

Great to be back at @nohatcon.bsky.social 2025 - after the opening by @embyte.bsky.social , first track is "No pAIn, No gAIn: How AI Will Hurt Bug Bounty Hunters and How to Fix It", from security researcher and entrepreneur @k8em0.bsky.social Come say hi 👋🏼

“In a ‘normal week’ we usually run out of food around 1 o’clock. Last week we ran out of food around 10:30.”

The Trump administration has holllowed out the nation's lead cybersecurity agency, upended or ended some of its key tasks and punished its previous two directors--while creating a large target in the form of all the data sloppily harvested for DOGE and its migrant crackdown. This seems... not great.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

RIP Jane Goodall, by all accounts a wonderful woman who loved this Far Side cartoon

CISA will furlough 65% of its staff if the government shuts down on Wednesday, keeping about 890 people to handle mission-critical cybersecurity protection work. www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/cisa-go... As in other agencies, employees there are worried about potential RIFs of furloughed staff.

I am old. I’ve been through so many waves of hustle culture. Outside of occasional crunch times, the overwork is always unnecessary, performative nonsense that provides cover for some combination of bad ideas, abusive leadership, disorganization, a total lack of strategy etc etc.

False claims like this — that voting machines are highly inaccurate — used to be the kind of misinformation that CISA would debunk on its "Rumor Control" website. Now these claims are coming from CISA's boss and its debunking site is gone. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Absolutely love this new @advancingcyber.com podcast Origin Stories conversation with @k8em0.bsky.social - so good we made it into two parts - part 1 on YouTube/ Spotify/ Apple Podcasts today! youtu.be/KbxOxP5YJmA?...

Cybersecurity is political. AND Cybersecurity is non partisan. Both of these are true if you believe that protecting Democracy is part of cybersecurity’s purpose in protecting national security & critical infrastructure, & that all political parties in a Democratic society should support Democracy.

If you think you saw me in Vegas, no you didn’t

“Sorry, we temporarily lost part of the constitution via an erroneous merge conflict. Habeas Corpus will be restored shortly”

“Coding error” huh? Certainly not what the original iFramers of the Constitution had in mind. Our Fortran Fathers would not be ok with this.

Also worth noting: They’re killing the media industry *first*. Techbros have been very clear that their goal is to put as many people out of work as possible. This is nothing more or less than an attack by the 1% upon the rest of us that, if left unchecked, will crash the global economy.

Competence AND loyalty matter in terms of national security, but it’s loyalty to protecting the country that’s the kind you want in these roles

Lazarus Group rises again, this time with malware-laden fake FOSS

At my aunt’s funeral, officiated by her son, my cousin the priest, I was moved by his strength & eloquence in delivering such a beautiful service. I couldn’t keep from weeping at times, for his loss & for all of us in the No Living Parents Club. I’ve been the sad welcome concierge for all my cousins

“The dead cannot consent. They cannot correct the record, protest their exploitation, or demand context…This is not remembrance; it is exploitation, paving the way for a future where the dead are endlessly conscripted into the battles of the living.”

In Alaska, #caturday hits different

A trick I picked up from @k8em0.bsky.social some years ago: Always ask if they have the technical means, such as logs, to detect evidence of exfiltration (and/or exploitation)? "No evidence" doesn't mean data wasn't taken. It can simply mean that they don't have the ability to check.

Governing layoffs aren’t the only hindrances to implementing the new AI plan’s cybersecurity provisions. The decimation of federal advisory boards, dismissing or failing to renew membership of key private sector advisors is hurting our national security as we speak. Is it woke to need experts?

That’s it The cat has had it

I’ve experienced similar manufactured quotes attributed to me in ephemeral articles over the past few months.

Being in tech and having a single modicum of critical thinking is just screaming "this isn't what LLMs are designed for" over and over as people shove a bunch of word predictors into critical decision making processes because some glorified used car salesmen told them it would fix all their problems

No more AI that uses DEI? Better stop all those voice commands & voice outputs then. Them’s a disability accommodation right thar.
