@cryptadamist that piece would be about Facebook, a US company.

Trump will unban TikTok and been seen as a hero to a whole bunch of people. It never should have been banned in the first place. We live in the stupidest timeline.

@nygren yep ditto. I have monitors set up across their network 😅

@nygren weirdly, I can still reach Edgio CDN 😅 or at least some of it

Putting the finishing touches to my Metaverse strategy document, hope the business likes it. After that I’ll move on to NFT opportunities, then Gen AI.

Starting Windows 12, this appears

If anybody is wondering, Akamai haven't pulled the plug on Edgio still.. there's still orgs migrating off it today, and more to go.

Gotta wonder how "TikTok refugee" is the top story in the world right now

CISA have a Product Security Bad Practices guide out.

Orgs like Fortinet should read it, since they signed CISA's Secure By Design pledge at RSA... and then don't actually do the things.

Belsen Group also have a several megabyte AI generated logo on their homepage (which is actually a tiny thumbnail), if you're wondering why the site loads like it's on a 28.8k modem

NordVPN shares right now

TikTok is a national security risk but Twitter isn’t. Okay.

Tik-Tok ban upheld? Good, now do X for election interference and facebook reels because its just as shit as tik-tok ever was.

Oh, you won't do that because Mark and Elon are puppeteering the government so hard, their hands are literally up the president's ass? who would've guessed.

I keep uninstalling Microsoft Copilot on my home Windows PC and it keeps reappearing every month

@miki considering it’s not a video app, no

FortiGate have a blog out: https://www.fortinet.com/blog/psirt-blogs/analysis-of-threat-actor-data-posting

It’s essentially the same as my blog - but in corporate 🤣

It plays heavily on the ‘this is old data’ angle and says you’ll be fine as long as you rotated credentials. Sure, somebody obtained all your firewall rules.. but that’s okay.. right. ✅

Same day as MS laid more people off.

In fairness I would like to point out Mark is also the genius who renamed the whole company Meta and rebranded it as a metaverse company with cartoon VR avatars that would be a trillion dollar market so.. you know..
