The sudden dismissal of Gen. Haugh surprised a lot of people - and at the behest of someone as unserious as Laura Loomer, of all people! Such a serious role requires well-qualified individuals, and Gen. Haugh was certainly that.

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

Feels wild...

We've all known attackers live off the land... why do I keep seeing LLMs and other AI tools unprotected in prod? Y'all... LOCK IT DOWN!

"First, there’s the Espionage Act, which sounds like it applies only to spies. But there’s a provision in the law that applies to the SignalGate chatters, even if they were all legally entitled to the information. That’s because they have a custodial duty to keep national security information safe."

🤦

Top 🕵️‍♂️ officials using Signal to plan military ops—then leaking it by mistake—isn't just sloppy, it's a national security risk. Who’s accountable?🤔 EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM had an obligation to squash that chat the second it started. And you thought 🧈♂️♂️ was bad... #SignalGate #ButteryMales

I just can't help but remember all the hay made about basement servers...

Wild. We hear about polygraphs and an all weekend leaker-hunt only for it to be revealed that the leaker is the DUI hire Faux News Host himself.

A further blow to the US economy, but perhaps more importantly, a serious blow to our global influence.

Oh look, the FBI 🚨 begging folks to lock down email & VPNs — Medusa ransomware smashing hospitals & schools. Would be super cool if CISA still had funding for… you know, cyber defense. But what’s a little national security between budget cuts? 🙃 🔗 www.forbes.com/sites/daveyw... 📞 Call your reps.

Cowardice in the face of what is hard often masquerades as courage to do what is 'right.' Hardworking families and countless Americans will continue to suffer under this administration and Congress. Participation validates actions that are harmful, regressive, and (in many cases) illegal. #USPOL

Weird. I thought the GOP were about making elections more secure. #USPOL

The Democrats should not participate in a govt in which they were not consulted. Do not vote for a CR that does not align with your policies. When a shutdown happens, remind the country that the GOP can either consult with Democrats or vote to repeal the filibuster at any time. #USPOL

From the man who backed out of a fight with Mark Zuckerberg and an appearance on the Daily Show: "I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat". This is "my dad works for Nintendo" level stuff.

We're just doing the machines' jobs for them at this point.

Fact-check: True

Reposting from LinkedIn just because I really feel like it needs more visibility. It struck me as odd to see Krebs go so openly political so fast... www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

Everything got so stupid so quickly.

If Elon's mission was to make government efficient, he'd have been fired already. Rather, #DOGE only exists to undermine public trust in government.

This is really true. We paid 0.1% of our GDP to stymie Russian aggression, revitalize the NATO alliance, and isolate China militarily on the world stage. All without a single American soldier even having to put boots on the ground. #Ukraine

Small businesses face the same cyber threats as Fortune 500 companies, but they rarely have access to the tools and expertise to defend themselves. Why? If you’re interested in building an MSSP, this episode is for you. Listen: limacharlie.io/podcast?wcha... #podcast #mssp

Ooof. It's almost like somebody should have known this was bound to happen.

Breaking: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had a virtual meeting with China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng. According to the U.S. readout, she expressed “serious concern” over China’s alleged hacking.

My lastest bout had me down for the past week. Still hacking up a lung.Not fun, y'all. Be safe out there.

📵 SIM Swapping Scams Are Rising - and that means SMS 2FA isn't secure. Hackers steal your number to hijack SMS 2FA & access accounts. 🔒 Use authenticator apps (Authy/Google Authenticator) 📲 Set a PIN w/ your carrier ⚠️ Watch for sudden service loss #cybersecurity Read more:

Damn. I guess we knew 4 more years of this was coming, but damn.

I mean... y'know... sometimes when someone doesn't like you, you know you're doing something right.

🔐 Security should empower engineers: 1️⃣ Use long passphrases, not cryptic passwords—easier to remember, harder to crack. 2️⃣ MFA with something you have (keys, devices). 3️⃣ Remote diagnostics while preserving physical security for admin access. Security can be seamless and strong. 🛠️ #Cybersecurity

Firmware vulnerabilities pose risks to devices like routers, IoT sensors, and smartphones. Hackers exploit these via firmware extraction & remote updates. Your pwned device can then be used to attack other people. Security is everyone's problem. #cybersecurity

My favorite conspiracy theory is that the world ended in 2012 but well continue onward in a shares perpetual consciousness because we refuse to give up. Stuff like this ruins it. No way are human beings collectively this ridiculous. It's clearly a simulation. #NiceTryMachines
