$6.3 BILLION. 20 MINUTES.
Most of Binance’s $6.3bn theft unfolded in about the time it takes to drink a coffee.

Your biggest security vulnerability might already have permission.

LAW 24: SECURITY IS BUILT-IN.
(Retrofitted security always fails.)

A fake job interview. A malware "assignment". An internal AI tool used to widen the breach.

Binance says that's how ~$6.3B was stolen.

Detection wasn't enough. Design is what's left. 🧵👇

How to build security in:
1️⃣ Shift-Left Design
2️⃣ Engineering Sovereignty
3️⃣ Policy-as-Code
4️⃣ Secure Pipelines
5️⃣ Memory-Safe Languages
6️⃣ Structural Immunity
7️⃣ Secure Defaults
8️⃣ AI Tools Constrained by Design
💡 Bolted on later? Not built in & not effective!

Is this the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning? I expect President Tinubu to wade in towards the end to allow Atiku compete. By then there would have been confusion so that he easily wins .

[Dele Momodu Ovation @DeleMomodu]

"Court nullification of Atiku's candidacy: I want to appeal to President Bola Tinubu. Governments will come and go, but our country will remain. Please, do not destroy our institutions, be it the Judiciary or INEC. Stop trying to shut out the opposition." – Governor Seyi Makinde says...
I ASSURE YOU SIR, HE WON'T LISTEN UNLESS HE IS CONFRONTED. HE HAS THE HAWKS GOADING HIM ON. THIS WAS HOW THE JUNE 12, 1993, PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RECKLESSLY ANNULED AND NIGERIA IS STILL BLEEDING TILL THIS DAY. TRUTH IS, TINUBU HAS ALREADY CROSSED THE RUBICON AND THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE SEVERE ON OUR LONG SUFFERING NATION. DESPITE THE OBVIOUS EVIDENCE THAT HE NO LONGER ENJOYS POWER, THE PECUNIARY INTERESTS OF HIS DESPERATE ACOLYTES WILL NEVER ALLOW THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE REIGN SUPREME UNLESS GOD INTERVENES. IT IS YET ANOTHER DISASTER OF MONUMENTAL PROPORTIONS. AS THEY SAY IN AMERICA, THIS IS HOW THE COOKIE CRUMBLES!!! - DELE MOMODU

Elon, you goofy. 🤪Crashing out, because you don’t want to pay taxes. Don’t want some oversight into all the government money and contracts you made off with. Don’t want anyone looking into exactly what the F you did with DOGE.  And whining about loosing an election. 🤪That’s part of democracy, bro. Welcome to America. This isn’t some South Africa back in the day 💩. You will get use to it. Sometimes you lose. Believe me. That’s what politics is. Oh. And. Watch the Elon Musk doc. It’s wild.

5️⃣ Micro-segmentation: contain the breach
6️⃣ Machine Identity Governance: every key has an owner
7️⃣ AI Agent Access Controls: no unrestricted agents
8️⃣ Fast Revocation: cut access in seconds
Can’t identify it, constrain it and revoke it? You don’t control your perimeter.

LAW 22: EXPLICIT OWNERSHIP. (If everyone owns it, no one does.) More platforms. More AI agents. More integrations. More dependencies. One question separates resilient estates from fragile ones: Who owns this? A thread 🧵👇

Ownership isn't blame. It's decision velocity, clarity and trust. My upcoming book, 35+5 Laws of Tech & Engineering Excellence, explores the Ownership Principle with obedience and transgression examples from 100+ companies.

Word on marble. Which is it?

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

Bola @officialABAT, your campaign spokesman has admitted that ministers paid billions in bribes to secure their appointments. You appointed them, so who received the money? Nigerians deserve names, not silence.

Your government’s reckless decisions have driven the cost-of-living crisis. And when you withhold funds from ministries because you distrust your own ministers, Nigerians are left paying for a government that has abandoned them. -AA

The ending is everything. All sorted

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

Following my post yesterday, @flyvaluejet has sent me an email, apologising for the experience, accepting that there were lapses, and offering compensation either as a 25% discount on a future flight or as immediate cash.

I have to say that I am highly impressed by their communication and the remedial actions outlined in it. As a sucker for good customer service, I am now a fan. They just need to ensure that the procedural lapses identified are immediately fixed.

Well done, @flyvaluejet.
