Oh no Pam Bondi and I have something in common 😭

Probably I should try sleeping.

I love going to the tailor to see people's cute little outfits.

I do still aspire to work for/with you one day!

Perplexity AI Machine Accused of Sharing Data With Meta, Google Perplexity AI Inc. was accused in a lawsuit of surreptitiously sharing the personal information of its users with Meta Platforms Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google in violation of California privacy laws...

“As soon as users log into Perplexity’s home page, trackers are downloaded onto their devices, giving Meta and Google full access to the conversations between them and Perplexity’s AI Machine search engine, according to the proposed class-action complaint filed Tuesday in federal court…”

oof, I have felt that way about so many people in the last few years. really rough time for a lot of folks. (and ty!)

I must say that it is lovely reading so many kind things about me after getting laid off. I imagine this is what attending one's own funeral would feel like.

Thank you!

If your team is doing thoughtful work in any of these areas, I’d love to connect.

I’ve often been told to narrow this down, but my adaptability is one of my strengths. I’m most invested in finding the right cultural fit and doing meaningful, impactful work.

At the same time, I’m exploring new full-time or contract opportunities in:
•Security and privacy education
•OSINT and investigations
•Program and product management

I plan to stay in the digital security space, continuing my work as a collective member at Lockdown Systems, through IWMF’s Safety Ambassador Fellowship, and on my upcoming book about investigations for No Starch Press.

It was a pleasure presenting our research at ShmooCon, @defcon.bsky.social's @cryptovillage.bsky.social, CypherCon, Enigma, BSides, NGO-ISAC, HOPE, and many other conferences I’m probably forgetting.

I also had the opportunity to collaborate w/ amazing partners, including Tall Poppy, @penamerica.bsky.social, and @eff.org. Together we dug into the efficacy of people-search removal services, the audio capabilities of video doorbells, & ways social media platforms could better address online abuse.

(More shoutouts to CR's testing team and survey team, as well as our fellows.)

Beyond Security Planner, I’m particularly proud of my work on projects that called attention to the risks of memory unsafe programming languages, hyperbolic VPN marketing, and the racial, income and age disparities in people impacted by text messaging scams.

We also ran two full content audits to make sure every recommendation remained accurate and up to date. (Shout-outs to @significantother.ca, @jefflandale.bsky.social, and CR's UX team and design team, among others, as well as the amazing tool Citizen Lab built from the ground up in the first place.)

I joined CR as a contractor in 2021 to help transition Security Planner from @citizenlab.ca before I was brought in full-time. We rebuilt the site’s design based on UX testing, boosted traffic, and earned backlinks from CISA, Apple, and Amnesty International.

A bittersweet announcement: I was impacted by the layoffs at Consumer Reports, alongside a number of extremely talented colleagues.

I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity and so proud of the work we did fighting for consumers and helping people stay safer online.

Thinking you’re apolitical is like thinking you “don’t have an accent”—it just means you haven’t thought about it very much.

I thought they had a universal translator ring, otherwise known as My Precious.

I can't believe you're sharing this publicly. Whatever happened to good old-fashioned security by obscurity?

It is hard to teach people "just because you CAN text doesn't mean you SHOULD text"

you don't need to send people signal messages to tell them to check their bluesky @ replies; you can simply wait until they log into bluesky again, it's all gonna be okay buddy.
