Wait, the UK has come second in #Eurovision 16 times? Were 15 of them in the last century? I mostly remember a lot of “nul points”.

Hydraulic platform lift from a gold piano was not on my #Eurovision bingo card, but clearly it should’ve been. First taste of glitter and magic I’ve really seen tonight.

We’re excited to welcome Casey Ellis (@cje.io) and Jen Ellis (@infosecjen.bsky.social) to the board of the Security Research Legal Defense Fund (SRLDF.org), bringing even more expertise, focus, and reach to supporting good faith security research defend against frivolous and unfair prosecution.

Did anyone watching #Eurovision get Pete Postlethwaite in Aeon Flux from the Montenegro act? Just me?

HACK THE PLANET!! Hackers turns 30 this year, and it’s possibly not aged completely gracefully, but it’s still fun. So just for lulz, @nccgroupinfosec.bsky.social and I are organising a screening of the movie at CyberUK. If you fancy joining us, register here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hackers-fo...

@varmaz.is I fondly remember your reaction to Dade’s “Not bad… for a girl” line when we watched Hackers at Derbycon. Followed by @todb.hugesuccess.org’s response to Dade’s “you’re lucky I’m such a gentleman” line. So proud to be part of our team.

Resist tyranny. It doesn't matter if Chris Krebs is our friend or enemy. Sure, he's demonstrated enormous character in the situation, but still, such political retaliation is evil whoever he is.

Such a perfectly pragmatic @erratarob.bsky.social take on the situation. Rob doesn’t expect people to agree with his politics - which is healthy - rather he lays out why this shouldn’t be about political leanings anyway.

Update on the CVE sitch, CISA has "executed the option period on the contract to ensure there will be no lapse in critical CVE services." Yay! Not sure what it means for the future, but for now, no loss of CVE Program service. Thanks CISA! www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

Big props to those behind the new CVE Foundation (www.thecvefoundation.org) - amazing to be able to announce this so quickly after the news about MITRE's funding expiring broke yesterday. I hope private sector & government folks are investigating how they can support the Foundation going forward.

Cybersecurity is too important to chill speakers and speech. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Since security firms have gone quiet, let me say that @thekrebscycle.bsky.social was an exemplary 1st director of CISA & worked super hard to defend & protect the American people. The pineapple on pizza thing is still weird, but otherwise, I’m a fan. I stand with Chris. #defenddemocracy

For anyone in danger of thinking I might be an actual adult, it turns out that I am still incapable of hearing people reference the AI EO without wanting to sing "Old MacDonald". 🤦‍♀️ 🐮🐏

I loved participating in Infosecurity Magazine's end-of-year webcast yesterday with the amazing James Coker, Brian Honan, and Diana Kelley. Lots of interesting reflections and discussion on a weird year. Check out the on-demand recording: www.infosecurity-magazine.com/webinars/nav...

Oh I've been so rubbish at social recently, but I really enjoyed chatting with Brendan, who has that weird combo of sounding super chill while obviously also being very passionate about what he does. Check out the episode below....
