we’re all a little bit more panicky than usual becuz of covid, so it almost got us, we decided to call the bank on the number on his card and they said they didnt do it but there were lots of scams going around. Spoofing is getting easier and more convincing so take careeveryone!

With the recent escalation of COVID-19 more companies are having to move to a work from home structure. This poses all sorts of security dilemmas. How to keep company information confidential? How to ensure workers are working appropriately? #comp6441 https://t.co/2yx5GERPFK

also kinda funny, I wonder if you could actually SMS opt out of those messages or I guess they would just opt you out of a gym membership :P

#COMP6441 @COMP6441 Nice video about technology's impact on voting and the security risks behind not only online voting but in vote counting and other areas. Very watchable for people with non technical background too.

@comp6441 I don't know how to reply to tweets yet but end quote after "swimming pools"

[OSSecurity @SecurityOs]

@comp6441 Loving the lectures but then when I hear things like "I was wondering if in this course ... we could try... and give an equivalent measurement in olympic swimming pools. I wonder if I really am in the right place.
