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.

On my way to MSP Global to chat all things #security! #MSPG25 If you’re around say hi, and if interested, my talks are below.

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

Harrods is latest retailer to be hit by cyber-attack

Uh-oh. Marks & Spencer, Co-op, and now Harrods is the latest high profile UK retailer to be hit by what is (most likely) a #ransomware attack. No organisation is 100% safe. What matters is how well you respond when the sh!t hits the fan. More details from BBC: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Oh my god. Kevin!!! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kevin-beaumont-security_the-cve-memes-are-flowing-activity-7318217220935831553-jIw0

How long was the attacker in the SaaS solution (that Oracle manage)? What did they do with the access? How long were they in for? Why were ‘legacy’ systems containing customer info left unmanaged and insecure? Etc. An exceptionally poor response for a company who manage extremely sensitive data.

Don’t mind me, scrolling socials to ❤️ all the #CiscoChampion announcements ☺️

Thank you to the #CiscoChampion community, the fabulous nerds and the ever patient organisers, for being such a lovely group to be a part of! Somehow, I have tricked the team into accepting me for the 9th year… 😅 #CiscoInsider @ciscochampion.bsky.social

I got a cool little device recently. The @JetKVM.bsky.social is an integrated out-of-band management device that lets me control and access my servers from everywhere. This inexpensive Kickstarter is well worth the money!
