I see people saying “why should we give free lunches to schoolchildren?” and I think some folks truly have no idea what it’s like to grow up in poverty, never knowing where your next meal is coming from, forever being one paycheck away from eviction.

Let me explain some things.

“Microsoft has notified customers that it’s missing more than two weeks of security logs for some of its cloud products, leaving network defenders without critical data for detecting possible intrusions.”

@philvenables Yep. Depending on where you’re flying from, of course.

12 year anniversary of the murder of Jill Meagher's in Brunswick today 💔
I lived in Brunswick at the time, this case changed me & it left a permanent scar on our city.
And we have lost so many women at the hands of men's violence since.
RIP angel x

@summer__heidi Mate, I’m all for trolling the yanks, but this is one step too far…

This is an absolutely wild one by @iangcarroll and @samwcyo

The most basic SQL injection ever in the Known Crewmember (KCM) and Cockpit Access Security System (CASS) used by airlines and TSA.

Literally ' OR 1=1 got them admin access. Here's what we know:

One of the reviews for our Web Security Code Review Training:

"Louis from PentesterLab is running an outstanding code review training program that you won’t find anywhere else. It’s a brilliant resource for newcomers, offering content that’s hard to come by online. The training is jam-packed with in-depth material, covering every aspect of code review, and it's presented in a clear, well-explained manner. Whether you’re in the appsec industry and want a refresher or need to level up your skills, or you're a newcomer wanting to break into appsec or expand your knowledge for other fields of cybersecurity, I highly recommend this training."

@infosecjerk @anton_chuvakin What standard is that from?

@skeen7908 @MatthewBevan The ground shakes, drums... drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A shadow lurks in the dark. We can not get out... they are coming.

Breakdancers spin anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Raygun is at a MASSIVE disadvantage in Europe, exerting enormous resistance against the Coriolis force.

If you call this "unathletic" you're telling on yourself. Not my job to educate you about the Global South.

Today was not a security or cyber incident. Our customers remain fully protected.

We understand the gravity of the situation and are deeply sorry for the inconvenience and disruption. We are working with all impacted customers to ensure that systems are back up and they can deliver the services their customers are counting on.

As noted earlier, the issue has been identified and a fix has been deployed. There was an issue with a Falcon content update for Windows Hosts.

For the latest information that we will continuously update, please refer to the CrowdStrike website (https://t.co/oTrsi3fNPb), my posts on LinkedIn, and my posts on X.  I will continue to provide updates to our community and the industry as they become available.

[George Kurtz @George_Kurtz]

As CrowdStrike continues to work with customers and partners to resolve this incident, our team has written a technical overview of today’s events. We will continue to update our findings as the investigation progresses. https://t.co/xIDlV7yKVh

@joelmcourtney @Asher_Wolf @techAU Approx $1700 p/a, so a 35% increase.

(Noting I have kids and a house with terrible insulation)

[Ben @_benwaters_]

@techAU @Asher_Wolf Yep, I’ll go looking for another vendor.

I’ve had ~20% increases across all suppliers. It’s extortionate.

[Ben @_benwaters_]

@techAU @Asher_Wolf That’s might convenient timing…
