Minimise the burden. Optimise for balance. Interested in lots of things.

@Teddybreath You better beLevi it bro!

Ok that was bad, even for me.

“Patching the human”

Another phrase we should not have in the industry.

[Mo Amin @infosecmo]

When you’re researching and ponderising. You gotta treat yourself, always rescue the cookie.

Nieces: You’re funny.
Me: Wait, are you laughing with me or at me.
Nieces: At you hahahaha!
Me: Grrr.

Pfff kids.

@chrisratcliff This one was Tesco’s “cream slice”

Hmmm sideways you say…this doesn’t compute with me but but I mean what could go wrong.

Imma try it!

[Mo Amin @infosecmo]

Bank Holiday Monday Micro Project. Re-engineering a cream slice.

It should have had jam as a base layer for the cream sit to on. It did not. This is just not cricket. This needed to be fixed.

An emergency change was raised. No CAB, no regression plan. YOLO.

[Mo Amin @infosecmo]

@Teddybreath I’ll allow it ;)

Enjoy mate.

You Augment your Intelligence with it, not outsource it all and expect magic.

Watch your technology seduction or your intelligence will be in reduction.

As always, be more discerning.

[Mo Amin @infosecmo]

You have to be careful in how to trust estate agents, recruitment agents, special agents and now AI agents.

Are they there to give you agency, support your existing agency or take it away from you.

The danger is when you believe you have agency but don’t.

The best of luck to our Irish cousins @BSidesDublin with their event today.

Their Rookie track has been renamed to honour his memory, as the Thomas (@FVT) Fischer track, who we recently lost.

We are investigating unauthorized access to GitHub’s internal repositories. While we currently have no evidence of impact to customer information stored outside of GitHub’s internal repositories (such as our customers’ enterprises, organizations, and repositories), we are closely monitoring our infrastructure for follow-on activity.

Just read that Peter Neumann has passed.

He was one of the first people I read about back in the day.

Here’s his page on the SRI site, it’s worth a peruse. Basically he was a don:

This.

IMO 75% of security is largely theory.

On the ground, in the weeds, in most environments reality is entirely different.

People, process, technology is oft quoted but it’s about politics, personalities, trust and incentives that matters first.

[Dr. Anton Chuvakin @anton_chuvakin]

'As we often discuss on the podcast, "patch faster" is the ultimate example of advice that is entirely correct in theory and utterly useless in practice without context. It’s like telling a drowning person to "breathe more air."' (another random Gemini joke)
