@DaveKlain We loved it. Seen it a couple of times here in London!
Hope you had a fantastic time

[Alex Tarter @appletarter]

@katherine_ethel Let’s just say my parents described it as ‘interesting…’

[Alex Tarter @appletarter]

@Delicate_Data It was fun - looking forward to hearing future episodes and continue the journey! Tech is fun 🤩

[Alex Tarter @appletarter]

@DaveKlain @Uber_Support @Uber Good luck! @Uber_Support is great at replying telling you to contact their support number then doing nothing.

I was just on the Shot of Cyber podcast where we talked about everything from cyber resiliency to attack surface management and getting into the industry. Find it in all your good podcast repositories! @TurgenSec https://t.co/RgSOFifFyG

[Alex Tarter @appletarter]

@PatrickCMiller Useful approach but for some companies even the first step of mapping their attack surface is a challenge (as they don’t always know what they have exposed). Check out a service like https://t.co/KzSFHz4XSz for improved mapping.

@aamirlakhani @nattyfried @TurgenSec Thanks Aamir it was a lot of fun and a good discussion! Keep the great content coming, love the podcast

Nice article @lapienyte. My hot take “Ransomware isn’t the cost of doing doing business. It’s the cost of being efficient”. Efficiency too often = fragility.

Colonial paid the ransom, Ireland refused. Who do you think has dealt with cybercriminals better?

So what’s the likelihood there is sensitive data involving ongoing legal cases in there? Why hasn’t the Philippine government been forthcoming about this?

[Alex Tarter @appletarter]

How do responsibly disclose a breach of Government solicitor general private documents with all the legal & private challenges that entails?? @TurgenSec that’s how! Well done guys.

[Alex Tarter @appletarter]

OMG this is awesome and sooooooooooooooooooooo true

[Alex Tarter @appletarter]

@robdykedotcom Feel free to reach out to the team at Turgensec and https://t.co/4YKmYUZ3pN we can help with responsible disclosures. Getting threatened is never nice. We’ve been there!

The cover up is typically worse than the crime - so your users just end up losing all trust in you and there’s an ugly back and forth... ugh....

[Alex Tarter @appletarter]

Getting annoyed with companies using weasel legal words like "found no evidence that any personal data was exposed that would give rise to any breach notification requirements under applicable laws,”.

[Alex Tarter @appletarter]

Does that mean no personal data was exposed? Or that it was but you get to keep it secret because you operate under weak privacy laws? You know that these things come out eventually right?
