Anyone else totally enraptured by the Artemis 2 mission? What a day!

NSO Group has been sanctioned by the US because of abuses connected to its Pegasus spyware

Of course it's furiously lobbying to get off of those lists, in order to open up the lucrative 🇺🇸 defence and intelligence contract opportunities

@vaspanagiotopoulos.com describes those efforts in detail 👇

Fascinating. You can write more books but you still need librarians, even virtual ones, to clean up and put things away. I want to go to THAT conference.

Is anyone at the conference calling for an increase in IR teams to support all this new activity? Because to paraphrase a great movie, we’re gonna need a bigger boat.

Happy @cyberwarcon.bsky.social to all who celebrate!

The hunt will now be on to find a few 2025 pennies, as they will be the last!

It can happen!!!

That hits

Surveillance software historically used by authoritarian governments to spy on dissidents, civil society, and journalists. There is no need for this sort of surveillance technology in the United States. It must be de-platformed and blocked wherever possible.

It is so dark out at 3:40 pm and raining so hard right now that even Shadow is like “nope, I’m good.”

Local legal peeps - sharing for reach and digging through my own content for extras.

As CISA 2015 has sunset, here’s a quick video of 7 ideas for TI and IR teams (and ISACs) to think about until the rules are re-established: youtu.be/-kNgoJKfvTg?...

Meet our speaker David Magnotti!

He leads development of cyber threat intel. systems helping protect AWS customers from malware + more. He will be joining Dlshad Othman in their talk, "Ping First, Boom Second", to discuss Iranian cyber-threats Imperial Kitten and Muddy Water.

The reduction in punitive damages is a shame.

This one’s for the lawyers! I met a young woman tonight whose name was Calea. She pronounced it “KAL-ay-ya” and had never heard of the CALEA Act. I told her she would be incredibly popular in DC. She was shocked that googling her name pulled up telecom legal results.

If you’re talking ski boots, Smartwool. Preferably without shin padding. Anything else, I can’t help you. Ski boots, I’m your girl.

Thanks #SecTorCA @blackhatevents.bsky.social for an amazing time! Agentic AI needs major work in identity and security teams need the help of corporate leaders and governments to enable the secure future we want.

What will be really interesting is the long tail of transition for companies to get this gear out. The FCC is still giving waivers for Huawei and ZTE gear, so this would take a very long time to do!

Would you call it a mania? I’d call it a sparkling attentiveness…

Businesses need to think about US state legislation like EU member state legislation - there are a lot of nuances and the fines can be massive. (See, e.g., Texas and data protection).
