Hey y’all, I know times are really tough right now especially for people in America. I want you to know that you can do the following things without feeling shame:
> Soeak to a therapist
> Hire house cleaners especially if you’re too depressed to clean
> Ask for help, either emotional or financial.

We are in hell in American cybersecurity. This will embolden and fund DPRK hackers.

But the libs are being owned and politics are boring, right?

I’m on Marketplace this morning, USA. 🙃

Remember the Navajo Code Talkers, too. Don’t let future generations forget, no matter how hard the government tries. They were heroes.

Always respect to @JosephMenn even though I have irreconcilable differences with WaPo currently. This is the kind of coverage on industry abusers we need. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/03/14/cryptocurrency-unciphered-morgan-marquis-boire/.

Just got asked if I can give a talk three hours after arriving in Melbourne. LFG I guess.

Cybersecurity is political. Period, end of story. If you could vote and didn’t bother because it was boring you’re just as responsible for loss of key research, ISAC funding, international collaboration, and federal jobs.

Same if you kept using X.

We warned you.

Controversial political opinion, I know, but the ISACs provided a vital and vendor agnostic information sharing resource for numerous American industries and critical infrastructure realms, that reduced red tape and bad blood between competing organizations. https://therecord.media/cisa-cuts-10-million-isac-funding

Boosting for my veteran siblings! March on DC! This Friday! https://www.instagram.com/share/BAKEUrKbxO

Sorry that I forgot to bring you drop bears

@armando sadly it’s easier to digitally delete history than make big book fires.

The problem is the scale of the attack surface and the many possible niche physical attacks impacting smart devices. Imagine the potential for a master key for Bluetooth access devices of a certain model, etc. it’s just a large surface to consider that takes threat model into account.
