This has been my one of my “Larry David” issues for a long time.

Simply amazing to this happen:

The industry is getting outsmarted by 15 yr olds?? Ouch 😣. This kid should honestly probably get a slap on the wrist & a job. Clearly creative & not too bad with a computer. Just need to put their talents to more productive uses

IT = frontline protection + evergreen learning. Great career choice!

Your voice is as unique as your fingerprint. Probability of someone having the same voice? About 1/64 billion. Underrated authenticator

This is the future we were promised in Revelation Space (Alastair Reynolds).

Good AI fighting bad AI silently for the future.

Delete trade secret laws.

They are being abused by unhinged CEOs to thwart competition. Employees are pawns caught in the middle.

Tech CEOs Urge Young People to Rethink College Degrees Amid Industry Shifts — Investopedia Tech executives like Palantir CEO Alex Karp have said they don't care if or where employees went to college—work performance matters more. Apple CEO Tim Cook has said a four-year degree isn't required...

You think these tech executives won’t send THEIR kids to college?

Love how everyone seems to think college is a worthless experience for everyone else.

LinkedIn serves a purpose… it’s not for meaningful insights

Maybe we can train a super AI to spot phishing emails and just get them out of the inbox?

Someone needs to make a human v AI phishing email spotting contest.

I’d watch that.

You passed the test

Don’t tell all the kids this. You’ll bore them. Cyber is cool, we promise 😉

Great write-up from Chris.

Identity = new firewall. Helpdesk = new security guards

What do the kids these days listen to while working?

Is lofi still the music of choice or am I an old man for thinking it is?

The IT Helpdesk does not get enough love

Hackers are some of the most creative people on Earth

That said, it annoys me they make big marketing announcements without general availability 😤

Will not experience Windows as long as they have Recall lol

This is slick! Epic build

More attacks on the HelpDesk.

Is social engineering the new phishing? Low-cost, high pay-off.

r/sysadmin is pretty relevant to cyber.

Also, the vendor subreddits are useful if you have a problem with a specific tool in your tool belt or are curious about a specific tool.

I think Reddit has the biggest/most organized cyber community. But we’ll get BlueSky there. Just takes time and some dedication. Some cyber folks in my circle tend to view the politics of BlueSky skeptically so I always pitch the decentralized angle as to why I joined and others should too

Sam Altman Warns of Coming AI-Created 'Fraud Crisis' OpenAI CEO Sam Altman issued a fairly dire warning about how some personal security apparatuses — particularly things we use to guard our bank accounts and the like — are highly vulnerable to AI-based...

I never really liked dog movies. I thought superhero movies were played out.

But this latest Superman movie has me questioning both opinions.

Hat tip. Decent movie. 🎥
