I heard there have been some InfoSec layoffs lately. First of all, my condolences. Capitalism sucks.

Second, if you know of experienced Detection & Response folks, please send them my way. I might have a position opening soon.

It was mind-blowing to me when I realized the supposed "liberal" party in USA is actually center-right by any other western country standards.

The Greens here are quacks, and they seem to be mostly kept afloat by Russian meddling efforts. We have no real leftist political party.

I think the Democrat party falling apart would be the most positive thing that could happen to USA at this point. They're too old and too attached to monied interest to be effective at governance, and they're tragically inept as an opposition party.

Americans, and really the world, deserve a real left-wing choice.

@wdormann It's funny (and rather cringe-inducing) to us infosec folks, but to 99% of developers they will always say "why would anyone do that?"

The vast majority just truly have no concept that anyone might want to act maliciously. If the engineer themself wouldn't perform a malicious action, they cannot conceive that anyone else would.

I have run into this issue so many times during my career. I now assume that no engineer will ever consider possible malicious actions taken against their code. To the extent that they do consider malicious actions, it will only be things that they themselves would do.

@GossiTheDog LOL, production thoroughly owned, code signing certificate presumed stolen, TLS certificates presumed stolen, login portal passwords presumed stolen, but "the situation is under control and it is safe to use AnyDesk."

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

@reverseics @GossiTheDog @cR0w @wdormann why am I doing this instead of owning a goat farm? ../ was literally one of the first things one of my teenage wannabe hacker friends told me about over 25 years ago. How are we still here?

@amuse @Viss I opted-out of face-scan at SFO last year and it went. Ok. Maybe I got a veteran gate agent.

Any way, keep fighting the good fight ✊
