Today's interesting newly registered ransomware-themed domain: what-is-ransomware[.]com It's a good question, a better question would be: what-even-is-ransomware[.]com

Congratulations 🎊! @julianferdinand.bsky.social is the best!

#HereWeGo Aaron Rodgers still sucks.

Oh wait, you mean the same firm that fully documented how their AI was used for an end-to-end attack, rather than, you know, putting better guardrails in place is not worried about societal catastrophe? [I'm shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here dot gif]

Y’all! I got some bad news! Inflation finally came for the Ruby Tuesday Salad Bar! They got rid of the eggs! Do you hear me? NO. EGGS. AT. THE. RUBY. TUESDAY. SALAD. BAR. It’s bad y’all!

Heathrow warns of delays as cyber attack disrupts European airports

This is incredible reporting from @margimurphy.bsky.social and @bloomberg.com. Lines up really well with research we've done at Recorded Future and definitely fills in some gap.

If you back our campaign on @kickstarter.com you can now say you are backing a comic book “as seen on TV.” By the way, #TheComicShopSeries is really funny and free to watch on YouTube. I highly encourage you to check it out!

Great research from @valerymarchive.bsky.social of sites preying on ransomware victims by offering completely fake universal decryptors. Scammers preying on companies and small businesses when they are at their most distressed. Bastards.

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score [Can I be honest for a second, Rotten Tomatoes scores confuse me. Like what does a 56% Popcorn Meter even mean. Like, it seems bad, but the icon is green? Green is normally good, right?]

2025 just keeps giving… NPM Ecosystem Under Siege: Self-Propagating Malware Compromises 187 Packages in a Huge Supply Chain Attack

This is objectively correct. And, I feel too many younger people in our industry have never seen it. I wonder if we should organize a watch-a-long?

Have you backed The Green Archer on Kickstarter? We are tantalizingly close to reaching our Ballista stretch goal! This means you could find yourself (at the right tier) in possession of a gen-u-ine “poke your eye out” ballista!

Sad to hear Robert Redford passed away. Tonight is a good night to rewatch Sneakers. Robert Redford Sidney Poitier Dan Aykroyd Ben Kingsley And hacking…what more could you want?

I was already working in the industry when Hackers came out, so I was more inspired by War Games and Sneakers. But, it’s undeniable that Hackers has had definitive impact on the people in our industry. I mean…for quote-a-longs alone, the movie has had cultural impact.
