Did you know, the only thing standing between you and your successful DDoS attack is a bunch of lava lamps?

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

@BlargMargle That interesting, I've heard this method come up in a lot of stories. Thank you for letting me know it's not as common

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

One of the tried and true methods of pentesting is leaving a bunch of unmarked flash drives around and waiting for them to be plugged in...

Usually the ones that werent are also the ones that werent found

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

Just because you take every measure know to man to protect your personal data, doesnt mean your boss does...

Heard a story recently about a CEO who didnt understand why a single letter password was a problem,

He said he didnt want to waste time with "extra typing"

If youve ever had to do cyber awareness training then you understand that largest part of cybersecurity is stopping some human from being dumb

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

The best part about ransomware is there is always the moment were you slowly watch all of your files become encrypted before the popup hits...

In other news, who has a bitcoin to spare?

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

So much of security, both cyber and real world, is just making the bad guys life really, really hard.

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

I feel like the real world equivalent for pop up ads is spinning sign guy who wont let you get by without a fight

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

A lot of the time scam emails arent expected to work...

But, as with a lot of things, its about quality over quantity...

So you might not click, and your coworker might not, but your boss will.

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

Once you have yourself well protected, cyber breaches aren't even scary...

What are they gonna do?

Go to the Taco Bell where my address takes them looking for a Hugh Mungus

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

Lets keep thing short and sweet, stop being dumb on the internet.

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

You know, there aren't any rules about being a smartass with the security questions...

Example: What is the name of your first pet?

Response: Wouldn't you like to know computer boy

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

I dont know about yall, but if I was trying to get people to do something dumb, I'd just make a meme page that wouldnt load if you had cyber protection

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

You ever think about how the Cloud is really just someone elses computer?

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

For those of you who have been pwned, dont worry if you forget your password

Just buy it back on the dark web

What could go wrong?

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

Cybersec IS: Creating strong passwords, understanding the risks of the internet, not clicking suspicious links

It is NOT: Putting a lock through your PC so only you can open it

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

Stop thinking that just because you have an anti-virus you are safe from everything.

Norton will NOT save you from getting rekt if you following a phishing link

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

I will allow to use a shitty password, but only if you promise to also require a OTP and a USB to unlock the account...

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

I would like to say hello to everyone and their FBI agent...

If youre not US, then your CIA agent

[CyberFacxts @CyberFacxts]

Thanks to the internet, there have never been more ways to succeed!

But, as it is a balanced world, there are also an equal amount of ways to fail
