Security Firm @SophosXOps published another report, this one on incidents at small and medium-sized businesses by @thepacketrat and Anna Szalay. One of the things I always look for in these reports are easy #cybersecurity wins -- and this report has a bunch […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

conversely, the second you give in to him on anything, he senses weakness and keeps demanding more and more the only viable response to Trump is to loudly and fully stand up to him from the start - whatever consequences he is able to impose will pale in comparison to giving in

Chris Krebs (@thekrebscycle.bsky.social) is being politically persecuted, and in this week's Seriously Risky Business podcast @tom.risky.biz and I talk about why we're not expecting an outcry from angry cybersecurity executives FULL VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oSJ... AUDIO: risky.biz/SRB117/

Astronomers detected a possible signature of life on a planet orbiting a star 120 light-years away.

I wrote something similar not long ago - it has more actionable tips to take (this article is still wonderful) www.magonia.io/tips-for-rec... #Privacy #Fascism

Gonna start a GoFundMe for the American government, it’s important to give back to the poor.

What in the actual fuck? Aren't there laws and checks on this? You count the turns of the wheels and multiply by the perimeter. You don't need a predictive model.

If you think ‘not funding CVE is crazy, this should be a major news story!’ - just know, it won’t be, and almost every profession in the US is going through the same journey. From scientists to public health to weather to everything else.. essential services people rely on, sometimes which are […]

Hey Parallels, thanks for giving me a heart attack this morning. Why are you asking to connect to an "account" page at account.parallels.cn"?? That's a nope. Thank goodness for Little Snitch firewall. Found exactly one discussion thread about this in an […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Palantir takes billions of records about people, ranging from social media to texts to government records, throws them together into a soup, and helps spies understand a massive network of people in order to find insurgents and terrorists. It is a weapon. And now it’s turned inward at America.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

It is not lost on me that the only Dems in Congress who actually seem to be doing something are people of color. We should all think about that. A lot.

Hello everyone! I’m proud and honored to introduce my very first academic white paper through SANS, which discusses the nuances and needs for planning for #ransomware in OT / industrial networks. www.sans.org/mlp/ics-ot-m...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been sitting in a Salvadoran prison for over a month because the Trump Admin made a mistake. Now, the Admin is defying SCOTUS & refusing to bring him back. If we allow Trump to violate Kilmar's rights, none of our rights are safe. Kilmar is all of us.

on the bright side we're finally going to live in a world without software vulnerabilities

hope all the businesses who've been enjoying this month of tariffs also enjoy getting ransomware because they can't prioritize patching efficiently anymore

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

ICYMI, this week WIRED broke the news that DOGE is being audited by the Government Accountability Office, an independent auditing, research, and investigative agency for Congress.

So anyway for all you anti-genocide voters the genocide is still happening but so much other bad stuff is happening nobody's even paying attention so great job.

The last two months have been some of the hardest of my life

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Again: We are living through the stupidest dystopia.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Read the memo. This is why, in multiple hearings this month alone, members of the MAGA Freedom caucus complicit in the Big Lie harped on a “censorship industrial complex” that never existed and “22 million tweets” that were never censored. They need these things to be “true”. To be “evidence”.

The InfoSec industry needs to step up and push back against the USG’s moves here, which read like Soviet Russia. Targeting Chris Krebs and his employer (and CISA) like this is appalling. Chris, a Republican if memory serves, was a great leader for CISA.

WIRED has new info on the specific DOGE operatives at the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the ways they’re trying to infiltrate and change the agency—including trying to use an AI tool to write code for the agency’s systems.

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

Our group is reporting that cops are kicking people out of the library parking lot meeting place for the Bedminster, NJ protests. Head to Morristown instead.

Pour one out for the folks who spent years getting degrees in political science, international relations, and economics only to watch tariffs get set by querying an AI chatbot.

Perhaps the most underrated story in Chinese politics of the last decade It looks increasingly likely that He Weidong, Vice Chair of the Central Military Commission and one of Xi’s old time loyal colleagues, has been purged. Rumors about his arrest have been floating for the past several weeks 🧵

The "United States Disappeared Tracker' is brilliant, though we should be sickened that it is needed. Huge kudos to Prof. Danielle Harlow. https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/danielleharlow/viz/UnitedStatesDisappearedTracker/Map Here's her explainer […]

Hello friends. The dreaded and long awaiting blog on WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE CYBERSECURITY JOBS MARKET has arrived. tisiphone.net/2025/04/01/l... I'm sorry.

This is so blatantly illegal. If Musk isn’t prosecuted for this, we might as well throw out democracy and turn it over to our billionaire lords and landed gentry. It’s over.

Breaking WaPo: Members of Trump's National Security Council, including national security adviser Michael Waltz, have conducted government business over personal Gmail accounts, according to documents reviewed by WaPo and interviews with three U.S. officials. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

"DOGE forced out directors & staff of a nonexecutive agency and installed one of its own GSA staffers as president, and is now attempting to hand the institute’s $500m HQ over to the agency he came from at zero cost." How is this legal? www.wired.com/story/doge-t... via @brbarrett.bsky.social

Is it really too much to ask media outlets reporting on invading Greenland & Canada to lead with "THIS IS WILDLY ILLEGALLY UNDER BOTH OUR NATO AND UN TREATY COMMITMENTS, WHICH ARE ALSO PART OF US LAW"? The normalization of this is wildly inappropriate & there is no excuse for it.
