Wait until they find out that English is named after another country

Remember Russia? That country everyone used to agree was home to lots of hackers. Well... The Trump administration has told US cyber command to stop following or reporting on Russian cyber threats. Hmmm... 🤔 www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/h...

Pretty depressing morning for those (me) who think #AI should be calmly, dispassionately assessed for its impact (social, ethical, environmental etc.) and effectiveness BEFORE we think about deploying it. It can be amazing - in certain circumstances, but mostly (for now) it's hype or destructive.

We’re going to need to have a civil v criminal barrister chat about wearing your barrister get-up outside of court, lads. Like. Counsel. This is a Pret A Manger.

I've started a substack on the forensic science crisis. It's free. Up next a deep dive into Eurofins Scientific, the parent company of Eurofins Forensic Services. Short selling hedge funds allege fraud and its stock is plummeting. forensicscienceincrisis.substack.com

Happy New Year! Here's hoping 2025 is happy & healthy for everyone. Thank you to everyone in #policing for all your hard work, especially over the festive season.

That is usually how it goes. #DigitalForensics #MobileForensics #DFIR

Don’t forget to increment the year in your password.

For my last post of #2024 I just wanted to say a big thank you for following, enjoying, sharing and contributing to what I do. 🫡 It’s a hobby born out of trauma, to tell it how it is, and the responses I get are why I keep doing it. 😅 Wishing you all a very #HappyNewYear 🫡🚨

if there were ever any criticism i have received that could convince me that it’s not worth it to listen to anyone else’s opinions it’s this reddit thread where i’m called a fake cybersecurity influencer for posting about such “complex security concepts” as the difference between switches and hubs

In case its not clear by now, one of the main reasons the cybersecurity community loves Lexie, is her genuine passion for her work, is funny as hell, brilliantly curious, many of us were net eng, and she makes losers mad. She works on rockets FFS!!🔥🚀

Tech support? Naa here is a pro tip to get the free ChatGPT subscription 😂 Turing test can go to the dev null 😂

I’ve been working in tech/infosec for a while now and one of the biggest problems I consistently see is this concept of not considering how something can be abused— or hell, not considering if something should even be made at all.

Hey Siri are you using ChatGPT? Siri: no. But yes. Maybe. But yes.

#DFIR 💭 of the day: Training should educate examiners on going beyond tool results. Here’s why: 1) Validate tool findings - particularly “smoking gun”. 2) Determine data meaning of results: how/why 3) Explain analysis results 4) Find unsupported artifacts 5) Adapt to change of supported artifacts

We’ve identified an emerging threat involving Cleo’s LexiCom, VLTransfer, and Harmony software, commonly used to manage file transfers. #dfir #vulnerability www.huntress.com/blog/threat-...

Seems quiet on here after such a busy start #DFIR

My cure all ... Especially for colds and flu things Honey, lemon, ginger, hot water. At night I add whiskey. Mrs D is really poorly and I'm hoping with every fibre I don't get what she has. Works Xmas do and #BsidesLondon next week 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Meanwhile, Facebook is encouraging violence again.

Looking to expand my follows. Whose posts are making your life more interesting?

Hey, digital forensics people. What would you classify as an "advanced" bit of knowledge or skill, with regard to investigating windows endpoints? Or do you feel that an "advanced" investigator has the same skills, just more experience?

Me: I would NEVER join a cult Also me: *download and installs arch Linux and says btw, i use arch every five minutes in random conversions*🤭

Aside from how amazing this is in the immediate context of this #forensics scandal - pretty shocked to see announcement essentially saying "we couldn't afford to investigate this potential huge crime"... Should we get used to this? www.gmp.police.uk/news/greater...

#DFIR 💭 of the day: Testing can take considerable time but is worth it! Particularly if you are testing a 72 hour time out - each new go is 72 more hours! Thanks to Nick Dubois for his testing of the iOS inactivity feature that causes iOS devices to reboot. www.hexordia.com/blog/ios18-r...

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network. As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.
