Dear followers,

X/Twitter does not really serve the purpose that I had in mind when I started to use this service. You can find me on Mastodon (@[email protected]) for similar content. I will replay this message a couple of times and quit this platform on 31 Dec 2023.

A crypto fintech company went bankrupt in part because it lost the password to a physical wallet with $38.9 million worth of crypto in it. It is **NOT GOOD** if your bankruptcy filing has a huge section called "The Wallet Event"

If you're just getting started in security and find things overwhelming, you're not alone.

There's SO MUCH MORE to know today for an entry level job than for many mid/senior-level security positions a decade ago. Keep learning and don't get discouraged. You can do it!

Luvaton hakkerointi on rikos - tietojen vuotaminen vielä vakavampi.

Jos huomaat sattumalta #tietoturva-ongelman, ilmoita toki organisaatiolle ja tarvittaessa @CERTFI.

Jos haluat haastaa itseäsi, osallistu tarjolla oleviin #BugBounty-ohjelmiin.

Findings won’t be made public until about February. And even then, fixing flaws in these digital constructs — whose inner workings are neither wholly trustworthy nor fully fathomed even by their creators — will take time and millions of dollars. #defcon https://t.co/JMKxykWmcE

Within my lifetime, every connection between my Roomba, Alexa and the Chinese-based data brokers who sell detailed information about the layout of my home will all be encrypted with post-quantum cryptography.

Just a gentle reminder that #PhD students are not ‘just employees’.

Even though their duties may involve extensive multitasking - lab work, data analysis, purchases, writing, travel, organizing social outings, etc…

They are also scholars who aspire to gain new knowledge and experience.

Which means they need YOUR attention in return.

Your knowledge, your experience and advice.

It’s called mentorship.

▫️

There are no lazy students.

There are students who lack proper support.

the milksad vulnerability is absolutely wild, a bunch of bitcoin wallets have been drained over the last few months because a libbitcoin tool was generating root entropy with a mersenne twister seeded with 32 bits (yes, bits) derived from system clock time https://t.co/k44qBPBV6E
