Just an internet rando who’s spent way too much on therapy here to remind you that you do not have to be around people who make you feel bad, even and especially at the holidays. It’s ok to not let people guilt you into it. You can even leave after you arrive if you’re uncomfy. Be free! Be you! ✨

In particular, the PRNI relied on Stern's trusted relationships with independent experts and companies that tipped off CISA to imminent ransomware attacks. "Dave has relationships that won’t be portable to someone new," said one person familiar with the matter.

Q for my friends who paint your nails, b/c I'm new to this: the nail art that my youngest child painted was coming off, so I removed it but kept the pinkies cuz they were still intact. My family thinks this is super weird, but I'm enjoying having a pinky of power and a pinky of death. Am I goofy?

I love fresh food! I went to the farmer's market and bought a baguette just baked this morning, fresh mozzarella made last night, an heirloom tomato and purple bell pepper picked recently, and added basil snipped from the crazy basil plant that grows like crazy in our dining room

Nice analysis of a voicemail themed phishing lure on Gmail: malwr-analysis.com/2025/08/16/w...

I love the collaboration between law enforcement around the world and threat researchers at cybersecurity firms. So proud of my colleagues at @proofpoint.com Threat Research, our friends at @teamcymrus2.bsky.social, FBI and other law enforcement. Nice disruption!

🌟New report out today!🌟 Another Confluence Bites the Dust: Falling to ELPACO-team Ransomware Analysis and reporting completed by @pcsc0ut.bsky.social, @irishdeath.bsky.social & @0xtornado 🔊Audio: Available on Spotify, Apple, YouTube and more! thedfirreport.com/2025/05/19/a...

thedfirreport.com/2025/05/19/a... It was fun working on this Report with @pcsc0ut.bsky.social && 0xtornado. I hope my #threathunting friends will find it helpful. We came up with a new detection for Impacket tools in this investigation

I wrote some song lyrics and got help from AI to make a "recording" of it: suno.com/song/360f92b... This song has a double meaning - on the surface, it is about actual moto-taxi drivers speeding up and down mountain roads. But it's also about how one slip in the gig economy can cost you everything

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

I was having a fascinating conversation with a Spanish speaker who is learning English, trading tips for each other's native language (I'm trying to learn Spanish). He asked me why the word "get" or "got" has so many different meanings. I didn't know, so I said "You got me there"

My prediction in @wired.com: 2025 is the year of AI agents. The coming psychopolitical regime "directs the environments where our ideas are born, developed, and expressed. Its power lies in its intimacy—it infiltrates our subjectivity. We will be playing an imitation game that ultimately plays us."

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

The FBI is being asked to identify all employees who worked on J6 investigations, including thousands of Agents, Analysts, Computer Scientists in field offices and HQ. If you live in the US, please write to your representative and senator in Congress. Sample letter: pastebin.com/aibF74Hc (1/3)

I'm excited to be here to kick off the 13th SANS #CTISummit with a keynote by Dr. Jeannie Johnson on anticipatory intelligence!

Four years since my son wrote the best opening to a mystery novel ever written.

Cool! A treasure trove of free & interesting images, available from Library of Congress. www.loc.gov/free-to-use/

Whenever my son asks for a Calzone, I try to make an epic Calzone. Tonight's might be the biggest yet

It's the DEATH Squad Starter Pack!

I continue to be deeply moved by this statement to the heavens by President Carter.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

I kept changing my mind which Carter cartoon i should go with. Here's all three.

Honest. Decent. Principled. A Lifetime of Selfless Service. #ThankYouJimmyCarter 🙏

I love the thoughtful words that Barack Obama shared about Jimmy Carter: barackobama.medium.com/our-statemen...

Research explains how foxes hunting mice can plunge down into the snow at high speeds without injuring their poor little snouts.

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

Ooooh this looks like the first in an excellent series of posts from the always awesome SpecterOps folks: posts.specterops.io/attacking-en...

Recent events on "the other site" have reminded me it's time to donate to @wikipedia.bsky.social . This year i decided to make it an annual donation. If you rage against enshitification of the Internet (like i do 🤬), you can help too: donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?...

I found it very interesting that so many people with solid technical skills were held back by their lack of self-confidence more than lack of qualifications. If you've overcome this, what worked for you? I have found it helpful to ask friends to tell me the strengths that they see in me

Support public media - this is one of those things that you don't want to find out how much you miss it only after it is gone. It is very easy to donate and when many people do, it doesn't take that much money from each person

Practically, what should you do if you're a researcher or journalist publishing words or research that is dangerous to Russia? Pay attention to which countries adopt this convention and plan your travel so that you don't even stop for a layover in those countries. All it takes is one layover

News you wouldn't expect to break on Xmas Eve: UN Adopted the Convention Against "Cybercrime" (proposed by Russia): unis.unvienna.org/unis/pressre... Here's why you should be concerned if you are a fan of privacy and freedom of expression

This is an incredible story by @alexmartin.bsky.social. The interconnected-ness of ransomware, drug dealing, influence operations and more is mind boggling. via @therecordmedia.bsky.social
