@Mohaidoss @vxunderground @backblaze We're happy to help out if you still have a need. Where things can get bumpy is when criminals start linking to public bucket files as part of their phishing/malware campaigns. That becomes a site reputation problem for us. Private buckets would work fine

@KyleDHiggins was sitting next to a couple at BWI (incl a fan) who recently experienced a loss. After expressing his deepest condolences, Kyle reached into his bag and gave the husband his last copy of Radiant Black 18 Infinite.
Beautiful moment of pure kindness.. I'm a new fan

@MerrittBaer You've got this, Warrior!

@gabsmashh Ask for the title. Honestly, that's all you're missing. I've been following you since Feb 2020 your contributions to the field, volunteer work, and the ease with which you communicate complex topics is textbook leadership DNA. Even if they don't give you direct reports yet, ask.

Last night, I was targeted for a sophisticated phishing attack on my Apple ID.

This was a high effort concentrated attempt at me.

Other founders are being targeted by the same group/attack, so I’m sharing what happened for visibility.

🧵 Here’s how it went down:

@backblaze @malwareunicorn jumping in... Amanda, I have the greatest appreciation and respect for the work that you do for the infosec community through your courses and workshops/villages. If S3-compatible cloud object storage works for you, Backblaze would be happy to host your content.

@mattdinniman, huge fan of DCC and just picked up 3 book cover shirts from https://t.co/kYYGBnsrhW Any chance we could get closeups of Donut from Books 4 and 5? With a charisma as high as Princess Donut's, I have no doubt it would charm the masses...

A friend asked me to find out why his connected lightbulb app was asking for his location, so I ducked out to Australia’s favourite hardware store, Bunnings, and grabbed one to check out.

The Android grid connect app has 500k+ downloads.
