@donsteve__ Getting started on a cybersecurity journey.
Sideways step, as been in Network/IT Support for decades. Always been interested in security and did as much as I knew how to.
There’s only so many times you can reset passwords 😂

@techspence I dealt with it every day but haven’t for a few years

Cool nerdiness!

Big news on the internet today as the United States Department of Justice wildly underestimated computer nerds

Mahmoud Al-Qudsi (@mqudsi), the founder of NeoSmart Technologies, is a nerd who specializes in computer forensics. His entire career (dating back over 2 decades) has been focused almost exclusively on data forensics, data restoration, and data backups.

Because Mr. Al-Qudsi is a nerd who unironically enjoys painstakingly reviewing computer forensics at the byte level, something almost no one else on the planet enjoys, Mr. Al-Qudsi began exploring the recently released Epstein files.

Today he released a write-up explaining the problems with the Epstein redactions, errors they left in the PDF files, ... and all sorts of other artifacts the Department of Justice accidentally left behind. By leveraging these different digital artifacts, it is possible for experts such as Al-Qudsi to reconstruct the files without their redactions.

See subsequent post for his write-up

tl;dr he's reverse engineering and reconstructing epstein files. but hard and will take lots of work

@tryhackme I’m trying to move from IT Admin/Support to Cyber at the moment. 👍🏻

[Dave W @DaveCIT]

@UK_Daniel_Card Don’t joke. They aren’t covering themselves in glory at all.

[Dave W @DaveCIT]

@techspence Don’t know. It’s a long while since I was an AD admin but I always felt it was good; with proviso’s as you’ve always rightly mentioned.

@three_cube I always used and sold Draytek devices. Popular in Europe, especially in the UK small business realm.

@wale_os @davepl1968 @ChombaBupe It’s why we especially now have to differentiate between ‘ours’ and ‘theirs’. Keep ours separate and private, everything else is in their interest cloud and theirs.
Unfortunate but that’s the reality. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤯

[Dave W @DaveCIT]

@ChombaBupe If it’s truly, private, keep it offline.

@naomibrockwell @AnthropicAI @OpenAI Just make one up surely?
I’m UK based so I can do a generic [phone] for example. Works for 90% of sites.

@hackerfantastic Where are you getting this from?
I take it you are mostly all American 🤷🏻‍♂️🤪

[Dave W @DaveCIT]

Very interesting and I agree wholeheartedly.
Privacy must be accepted as a right, especially when life’s are at stake.

[Troy Hunt @troyhunt]

Occasionally, someone takes issue with me flagging a data breach as "sensitive" such that the email addresses can't be publicly searched because they want to dox the users. That's a *really* bad idea, for many reasons: https://t.co/rEtQPHkxf7

[Dave W @DaveCIT]

@WindowsCentral That’s where they want us to go, it’s obvious. Financially and technically, it’s in their interest to be centralised and have us just ‘login’ to their cloud. Whoever they are will be who wins the AI battle I think. 🤔

[Dave W @DaveCIT]

AI, obviously there are security and privacy risks.
What are good resources to learn about AI security?

@Cyber_O51NT @three_cube If you think memory and chip prices are expensive now, a Chinese takeover of Taiwan would sink us.
Not forgetting world security as well of course.
