Join me today for my speaking session on Strengthening Your Cybersecurity Foundation, where I will dive into the foundational principles and essential practices that form the bedrock of an effective cybersecurity environment.

See you there!

@21five_public @tarah I was hoping Colorado would be on that list, definitely a good option with lots of great venues and lots of natural beauty.

@alt_bier @stickermule Stand out stickers? Thanks for the advice as I just asked @stickermule to delete my account for political advertising.

[Packet (he/him) 🦄 @packetgod]

@stickermule I don't want politics with my stickers and hot sauce. I've been using Sticker Mule for quite a while and placed a large order last week, which will be my last. The email sent out was titled "Trump 2024" which has nothing to do with stickers or support against violence and hate.

Just took my first @Waymo rides and on the whole I felt safer than I had in many of my San Francisco human driver rides. It’s perhaps slower and will wait too long in areas that have too many pedestrians but overall smooth, functional and comfortable.

@AlyssaM_InfoSec Swordfish was worse, hackers was at least entertaining and great lines. As others have said Sneakers is still my favorite.

@AlyssaM_InfoSec I try to set the bar low for basic civility and treating us with humanity whether we are trans, gay, straight, left handed or even a ginger 😁. But if you claim you are Christian then some love thy neighbor should be the default, and so many I meet are that, online not so much.

I just backed THE FUTURE IS ****** from REKCAH Comics on @Kickstarter @REKCAHComics https://t.co/vwoH0q82ll

And yes, I know posting this is poor opsec, someone will use this against me someday in the future. E.G. "Click this link for a signed copy"

@Nexuist Key_master and gate_keeper are classic options that call gozerian{gozer}

@AccidentalCISO Definitely those Grillo’s mentioned before but barring those look for any that are in the refrigerator section.

@deviantollam I'm right there with you and am in exactly the same boat although I have been flying Alaska from time to time as they have some good direct flights out of SEA. Never had an issue but I miss the Woodford. I'm planning on hybrid Alaska/United with a focus on Alaska.

@medus4_cdc How about a donation to EFF (or fav charity) in your name and a bunch of shiny unicorn stickers as a bribe?

Another Microsoft email attack being reported to come from China. I've been talking about the goals of nation state attackers for some time, China seems focused on gathering data more than anything else which is exactly what happened in this attack.

@void_trans @MalwareJake My thoughts exactly, love it when people I respect in my field are actually people I can respect outside of it too.

@0xMatt I'd sponsor a cool sticker booth as I'd hate to miss out on more stickers. Also I'm a bit fan of the random slide deck talks/competition where you get a random deck you have to talk to.

[Packet (he/him) 🦄 @packetgod]

@MalwareJake @kaspersky You know it's big as it already has a logo 😁. But obviously can't wait to hear more.

@Snubs Every OS sucks in it's own way and everything in security has pros and cons and generally won't actually work all of the time. You have to balance functionality, security and privacy for what works best for you or your company.

[Packet (he/him) 🦄 @packetgod]

@strandjs Yup, that's exactly what I'm saying and agreeing with you. We come in and red team and they get findings they can ignore or just can't get funding for. They can't ignore methods used in an attack and they get the funding to fix it. This is the hard job of a CISO.

[Packet (he/him) 🦄 @packetgod]

@424f424f @strandjs How many times have we gone in and done a red team consulting enagagement and then came back the next year and had many of the exact same findings?

@troyhunt I guess my data has been stolen again...
