Mr. Big Balls, who hung around in doxxing and DDoS channels, has been reinstated to DOGE and has been given access to CISA.

A) vet forgot to give dog a cone so I’m having to try to police a dog from pulling out stitches, going about as well as telling people generative AI usage is against policy

B) having to carry a 23kg dog up and down stairs is getting old fast

All kicking off on YouTube tonight.

The sad truth about the cybersecurity industry is the biggest threat to US democracy is certain people inside the US - who a substantial portion of the US cybersecurity industry knowingly voted them into office.

For those who haven’t caught it, CISA has paused all work on securing US elections, and laid off related staff.

So if you want to hack the US’ all digital voting infrastructure, you got a few years to prep.

Much less Frankenstein this time. Under no walkies orders though, gonna be fun explaining this to her.

Russia invaded Ukraine and tried to overthrow its democratically elected government. Donald Trump:

If you enjoyed the photo of my dog looking like Frankenstein after her skin cancer op a few years ago, you’re following the right person as I’m about to pick her up after another emergency operation.

over and over and over and over again C-suites fall for whatever they're told, like Lemmings forced off a cliff by companies that directly profit from shit consultancy.

Good news everybody, in 2023 90% of C-suite executives believed the Metaverse will have an important role in their organisations future growth, and by the end of 2025 4.2% of their orgs revenue will be in the metaverse, so over $1 trillion!

If these numbers seem similar to AI and NFTs, it's because the same thing was said.

Qualys dropped another two OpenSSH vulns this week - CVE-2025-26465 & CVE-2025-26466

I don’t think either are bad, you should keep calm and patch as per usual.

The first one needs a non-default config, and PoC for the second also uses a non-default config. Neither are RCE and I doubt will ever see in the wild exploitation.

A US judge is absolutely roasting the US government today. Here’s the text and a photo of them.

The pattern with this one is he recycles fake content about migrants and Muslims to attack the UK government, using his platform, X.

You may recall the Financial Times article a few weeks ago about how he plans to destabilise the UK government.

Elon’s deleted this now, but he spent some of today tweeting about riots at Birmingham NHS hospital in the UK.. apparently unaware that it wasn’t true and he was recycling AI generated images as well.

Tick tock

Humane AI pins (remember them?), which launched just over a year ago, will stop working in 10 days and become landfill.

The only function which will continue to work is the battery.

The largest investor was OpenAI’s Sam Altman.
