The world isn't run by weapons anymore, or energy, or money. It's run by little ones and zeroes, little bits of data. It's all just electrons.

Skipping Black Hat and DEFCON this year? Consider presenting at BSides Hanoi instead. Now in its second year, the conference takes place on August 5th, 2026, and a few more talk slots are still open - but the submission deadline is today. Apply here: https://t.co/Wqgvpx0j79

Hey everyone!

I'm onstage stage at the S4x25 conference in Tampa next week for foxguard to talk about supply chain chipping attacks, when should they keep you up at night and when they shouldn't.

Let's get together at the Marriott.

@plex Unfortunately according to TestFlight it appears the beta is still full so only the folks already in the experience beta are gonna get access to the AppleTV beta.

[Derek Kolakowski @ospannero]

Don't worry... I am sure they are "airgapped" right @montaelkins ?

This is important.

"The FTC asked the US Copyright Office to exempt "commercial soft serve machines" from the anti-circumvention of the DMCA.

And also programmable logic controllers, and enterprise IT devices"

I am so excited about my most recent project - the CyberPsych podcast launches tomorrow! Read my blog post about Cyberpsychology, why it matters, and what this podcast will be about!

Seriously WTF @jpmorgan?!

@JamesLeyteVidal @montaelkins Would be cool if Consumer Medical Device manufacturers had some sort of meaningful partnership with the platforms they relied on?

[Derek Kolakowski @ospannero]

@montaelkins @montaelkins haven’t you worked with @a_greenberg and @KimZetter on stuff like this before?

[Derek Kolakowski @ospannero]

@montaelkins So you are now asking a vulnerable, potentially non-tech savvy, patient populous to manually check for and apply iOS security patches in a timely manner. (2/2)

[Derek Kolakowski @ospannero]

@montaelkins On piece of feedback: I *believe* if you “disable automatic operating system updates” you will get *NEITHER* iOS 16 updates *NOR* the iOS 17 upgrade as the auto update/upgrade process seems to be governed by the same on/off setting. (1/2)

[Monta Elkins @montaelkins]

Abbott says their glucose app users should disable OS updates on iPhones to stop install of IOS 17

This has security implications over the long term

I hope they remind them to turn the updates back on

I wonder what Apple thinks of this from an app vendor in their App Store.

Did you stay at Caesars for DEFCON?

Please be aware there was a Legionnaires Disease outbreak during your stay
