I have to let you all in on something.

At this point in my career I’m privileged to mentor a lot of young people, especially veterans and college students. And every so often they’re like really excited to meet me and say they would like to be like me. This totally blows my mind because they go to like MIT, Stanford, or Purdue ….and they’re usually in the second year of a PHD and they run their cybersecurity competition team and speak 9 languages or something….

I was a TERRIBLE youth. Yea, I eventually went to DePaul which is respectable and I have three okay undergrad degrees - merely because I had no choice but to enlist at 17 and the military kicked the crap out of me. I went to community college first the hard way around. I almost didn’t graduate from high school. I was a miserable, unhappy, uncool gnc goth kid who hacked computers and swore a lot. Those schools would have .blown their noses at my application and probably banned me from the campus for being a delinquent.

What I want to say is if you’re one of those rock star young people, I’m super impressed by you, and you’ve picked one hell of a role model. Keep it up, and don’t burn out.

If you’re that totally screwed up teenager, though, I might not get to see you at awards ceremonies and touted by the top professors at cons, but you can make it too. Even if nobody is ever in your corner.

By popular demand, I have given the community public access to my personal threat actor naming system: the Cyberthreatarator.

Musk tried to trick people into believing that celebrities like @KingJames@twitter.com and @StephenKing@twitter.com paid for Twitter Blue.

They did not and Musk got called out on it.

Musk has now copped to it and admitted he has paid for James, King and a handful of others to keep their blue checks

I don't think we give this cinema moment enough credit for the impact it had on Gen X's worldview

A security researcher made a disclosure to me today that impacts your data. Nearly all instances on the fediverse have been leaking data online for several years. Affected data appears to be:

• Account name/handle
• Display name
• Information included in the bio field
• The text of any posts not set to private
• For accounts not set to private, the list of followers and follows
• Pictures of your cat(s)
• Your cash app/Venmo/kofi/patreon link
• Your hot takes about Twitter and/or Elon Musk and/or King Charles

As of now, there is no evidence of this data being misused. We were going to offer free credit monitoring, but quickly realized each of you already has enough years of free credit monitoring banked from other breaches to cover your great grandchildren.

If your $dayjob is at all related to security, I'd love to hear from you about what type of mobile phone you currently rely on.

I've never really seen a data-based breakdown of the answer to this question, and I'm genuinely curious. Thanks!

p.s. if you vote, please also boost this poll!
