ChiSec

I know it's a ways out but the next ChiSec is 20 Nov at Kaiser Tiger (1415 W Randolph St). Last one of 2025 and we'll resume in January. Hope to see all y'all's adorabobble faces. <3

Sigh. Late in making today's post because job.

ChiSec is TONIGHT. We will be at Kaiser Tiger (1415 W Randolph St, Chicago). I should be there some time around 18:30. If you beat me there, grab a table or get bar service.

Otherwise look for a very exhausted, wizened bobo.

ChiSec is the DAY after TOMORROW (23 Oct).
See you at Kaiser Tiger (1415 W Randolph St)
Maybe some time around 18:30 (+/- minutes).

ChiSec is THIS THURSDAY. 23 October at Kaiser Tiger (1415 W Randolph St). 18:30 +/- some organic number of minutes.

Apparently I volunteered myself to be a CFP reviewer for next year's WiCys conference.

I am so excited, y'all.

How is this not bigger news in tech/security circles.

Jaguar Land Lover lost $250M (£200M) and counting thanks to a cyberattack that it still couldn’t mitigate. This is growing every week.

The cost of underinvesting in security is very real. 1+ month recovery is bonkers

In case you get lost, here's a map maps.app.goo.gl/kHoKJYkmzcTM...

THURSDAY is 18 September not 19 September. I SIT CORRECTED. Cuz I just sat down and I don't want to stand up.

Aight, we're gonna try Kaiser Tiger (1415 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60607) this coming Thursday, 19 September.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.

Last Sec@Spoke. 501 N Ogden, 6:30ish.

Forecast is 73F -- see you on the roof.

Yes, we are still meeting at Twisted Spoke (501 N Ogden) this Thursday (21 August). Sometime around 18:30.

And then I'm going to have to find a new place and memorize the address.

Well 💩.

ChiSec on 21 August will still be at Spoke. Then we will move. Open to suggestions.

See you tonight at Twisted Spoke (501 N Ogden). If there is an unreasonable amount of sky water, check the back room. Otherwise, head to the roof.

ChiSec -> Day after tomorrow. Or if you, like me, need numbers: 17th July. As usual, we'll be at Twisted Spoke @ 501 N Ogden Ave some time around 18:30 +/- /n/ minutes.

ChiSec is this THURSDAY.

6:30Pish

We're meeting at Twisted Spoke (501 N Ogden) on Thursday around 18:30-20:30.

I'd add something witty or clever but the heat has cooked my brain.

1. Clear your calendar for Thursday.
2. Come to Twisted Spoke after 18:30.
3. 501 N Ogden Ave in case you forgot.

ChiSec is NEXT Thursday, 26 June. Still at Twisted Spoke. Still around 18:30ish. And possibly still got some stickers.

Google's @hultquist.bsky.social says in an emailed statement that the company is seeing "multiple intrusions in the US" that bear the hallmarks of Scattered Spider activity and "now seeing incidents in the insurance industry." Google spox. confirmed there's more than one U.S.-based insurance victim.

Hm. That calendar link is... broken somehow. Working on fixing it.

A small bird told me that the next ChiSec was scheduled for Juneteenth so I'm moving it to 26 June.

Well 💩. I am rapidly developing a sore throat (which i likely got from @sockpuppet.org). Thought it might be allergies but it is not responding to $DRUGS. Since I do not wish to infect anyone, I am going to stay home.

Feel free to show up anyway. ChiSec is for YOU. I'm just a petty annoyance.
