That's your wrestling name sorted then...

On the flip side, I've just been granted press/media access for NCSC CYBERUK in Manchester next week, so if there are any editors out there who'd like some reporting or interviews from it, do let me know!

Especially because freelancing means I need to cover the travel & hotel myself! 😱

Sorry to hear that Carly. TC's loss. I'm sure you'll have an abundance of offers coming your way, but I'll keep my ear to the ground.

@gordoncorera.bsky.social Looking forward to hearing the @restisclassified.bsky.social take on this....

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy
