Full disclosure: I drafted this at 0400… www.rosesec.com/post/is-the-...

Due to technical issues for remote panelist, the panel I did last week, felt like a 2-person AMA. I think that should be a thing more often, really enjoyable and got to answer more questions from the audience. Even though it was the last session before lunch, people were actively participating.

Had an absolutely fabulous time talking #AI and #IncidentResponse at #TeissAmsterdam2026 today TLDR no, it isn’t going to replace your entire #SOC, but there are benefits, when ensuring you have QA.

I signed off work early today, due to being covered in little’s vomit. #mumSec

I’ve recorded two podcasts recently, as a guest, where we talk on vulns and organisational gaps, and improvements… all I think of for any chat like this is the discussion I had with @seanwrightsec.com a while back - where we both were just.. “why not learn from history”

Friends that are no more (death, growing a part, differences, &c), my calendar pops up with their birthday reminder and… I’m not sure if I message (the still living ones) or not..

All non-US made Wi-Fi routers have suddenly been banned by the FCC. No joke. What exactly does US made mean in this context? Chips? Boards? Assembly? Software? How long before the US goes after Wi-Fi client devices? Will they ban phones and laptops? The demand is deep disclosure of ownership… /1

Just ordered bright red stockings, as you do, and I recall early in my career where I got feedback that my bright coloured stockers were “not professional” Good thing I never listened. #keepTheJoy #mumSec

Toddler refused to eat spaghetti, because it wasn’t macaroni. Big sibling said it was like macaroni, just longer. Toddler decided that was acceptable, and ate it. #toddlerMath

I’ve given in, and become a coffee drinker. @lisaforte.bsky.social is probably so proud!

On my way to #CiscoLiveEMEA. Looking forward to seeing everyone, and talking all things #security! #CiscoChampion

Guess who just got a ticket to #CiscoLiveEMEA! Looking forward to seeing my nerd community, talking all things #Security, and learning all the things! #CiscoChampion

New sensitive breach: Europid dating service WhiteDate had 6k unique emails breached last month, among extensive other personal data including physical attributes and IQ level. 59% were already in @haveibeenpwned.com. Read more: haveibeenpwned.com/Breach/White...

One day, you’re braving the cold Canadian winters in a little black dress… The next, you’ve acclimatised to European weather, and walking around the house in two sets of trousers, and it’s not even December yet… 🧊

Had a fabulous time speaking and attending #MSPG25 ! Thanks to the organisers, attendees, vendors, and other speakers.

Turn off your phone’s “advertising ID” to make it harder for location data brokers to track you. (2/4)

As its cyber sec awareness month 🤣

Most of the apps on your phone are talking to a server somewhere - sending and receiving data through messages sent through APIs. And here's the problem - hackers have determined that the APIs of mobile apps, when left visible and exploitable, can be a goldmine.

What a delight it was to have @rosesec.bsky.social join the "Smashing Security" podcast this week, as we discussed how ransomware can silence burglar alarms, allowing thieves to help themselves to €600,000 worth of gold in a daring late-night heist. open.spotify.com/episode/7Ewr... #ransomware

I wrote a plea to cybersecurity curriculum developers about what I would like to see covered in OT cybersecurity coursework. tisiphone.net/2025/09/10/t...

Now comes the knock-off: TeaOnHer. Same idea, but flipped - men rating women. And in a twist of poetic incompetence, it hasn’t just copied Tea’s concept… it has copied its shoddy approach to security too. Read more in my article on the Bitdefender blog: www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/h...

The Tea app - where women anonymously rate men - has had quite the month. First, it was slammed for enabling digital vigilantism with zero fact-checking or right of reply. Then, it leaked sensitive user data, including private images and messages. Despite that, it rocketed up the app store charts 🙄

We've had more feedback from this episode of the "Smashing Securit" podcast than any that we've put out for years. When you listen to it, you'll know why... Have a handkerchief ready... 😢

Dragos just opened 21 positions in Australia, UK, and US/Canada. Not my team, not the hiring manager, but there is an array of roles

New from 404 Media: a second data breach at Tea has exposed more than a million direct messages between users that we obtained. Discussions of abortions, cheating. The other data was older. This is as recent as *last week*. Hard to overstate how sensitive this data is www.404media.co/a-second-tea...

72,000 images, including sensitive ID verification photos that were supposed to be deleted immediately, have been accessed. Adding to the controversy, an additional 59,000 images, which included posts, comments, and direct messages, were also breached. More info: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is painfully ironic. A woman's dating app designed to enhance safety and vet potential dating partners has itself fallen victim to hackers. The Tea Dating Advice app, used by women to do background checks on men, identify catfishers and scammers, and share "red flags", has been breached.

Heyo #infoSec / #Cyber friends, @errbufferoverfl.bsky.social is doing some research for a talk. Please help them out: cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/for... It takes a few moments and would be lovely for your insights to be included.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

Spontaneity as a single: - Person: hmm, I think I’ll do $thing. - Parent: in 1 week, let’s do $thing. Yet, single parent situation is even more stressful 😅 #mumSec
