@somethingsummit @Fuckinyouredad @jtoddadams @MarkoBravos @HillaryClinton Alternatively, I’m working during the day and they still have to go through my living room to reach me. So I still have time…

[Jacob Astar @JacobTAstar]

@somethingsummit @Fuckinyouredad @jtoddadams @MarkoBravos @HillaryClinton I don’t even know what point that was meant to make, why would they already have eyes on me? Someone kicks in my front door, I have time while they make their way through my living room, kitchen and bedroom door.

@offsectraining Always have to be working toward something. I realized lately my hobbies feel like jobs, I do them for the end goal, not for the enjoyment.

@ElsaWainblum I just finished “This is how they tell me the world ends”, 10/10 I recommend it!

@SATXHackers @SATXHackers Just recently found the group but noticed the website hasn’t been updated in a while. Is there a new one? Or are things primarily disseminated through social media? Just looking for the best ways to stay tuned!

@JackRhysider I read this headline at first as “shouldn’t blog” and went “Good, I didn’t want to anyways!” but now that I watched it… Pretty sure I’m going to start!

@vmiss33 Not sure about guests, but I’d certainly be a listener!

@stokfredrik SteamVR is really a game changer! There’s a few solid titles in the Oculus store, but I think PCVR will always reign supreme!

[Jacob Astar @JacobTAstar]

@stokfredrik Not Quest 2 specific, but Steam VR and then “Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades”

@hackthebox_eu Is it possible to still register for the HTB-Exhibition CTF? Over a month left and I'd love to take a shot at it.

[Jacob Astar @JacobTAstar]

@wgtgolf Of course I download it for the first time during the maintenance period, lol, oh well. Looking forward to playing!

@TheCybergoof @TimMedin There used to be more. USED TO... *dun dun dunnnnnn*

@itstechdesk Is this outage planned for all weekend?

[Jacob Astar @JacobTAstar]

WTF

Hmmm… what’s wrong with this picture…

@theWhiteHatHCKR @sectest9 We just launched an initiative to build our own user risk rating system because the third party tool we had previously flopped hard... So that outta be cool. #insiderthreat

@EncryptedEmu @Scott_Helme And would that smartest person get duped 4 times in a year? I would highly doubt it. We aren't talking about termination of a first time clicker, these users have a track record of failures.

[Jacob Astar @JacobTAstar]

@EncryptedEmu @Scott_Helme But when a user has had multiple training sessions in a given time frame, how much more training can really be had? Perhaps 2FA for everyone is the answer, but what the entails for 80k users, I'm not sure entirely.

[Jacob Astar @JacobTAstar]

@EncryptedEmu @Scott_Helme I'd say the policy discussions are far from over and even after policy is set, I'm sure as a user reaches the higher benchmarks, even more talking is going to happen.

[Jacob Astar @JacobTAstar]

@Scott_Helme I feel like after a point, it's not about educating a user that's struggling, it's about rooting out a user that doesn't care.

[Jacob Astar @JacobTAstar]

@Scott_Helme We're ultimately trying to avoid firing tho by also creating substantial training that starts with the phishing link returning a landing page explaining the risk and ends with face to face(or webinar) training where the team can interact directly with the user failing.
