So - this is probably a big picture question - but why do we think this is happening?

I think decision makers would agree that we DESPERATELY need more help with cybersecurity… So why do we think the job market isn’t responding?

@cooperq.com - it looks like the SAN researchers used a device called “Marlin”.

Best advice (if you live in a city): find your local DEFCON/Bsides chapter and just start hanging out

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

Anyone ever hear of the #ReadyNow emergency communication app?

I’ve been poking-around and it seems pretty good! Before I recommend the app to my community, I wanted to check if any experts had reviewed it yet?

Violence should not be used against free speech, is the refrain.

So explain why they use ICE to violently detain any immigrant for speaking and steal them off the streets in front of their children.

The Republican Party has openly embraced violence against speech.

Exclusive: ICE reactivated its $2 million contract with Israeli spyware firm Paragon, following its acquisition by U.S. capital The cyber division of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations on Saturday quietly lifted a stop-work order put into place by the Biden administration in October.

NEW: Mercenary spyware is coming to the US.

ICE just quietly unsuspended their contract with spyware maker #Paragon.

Who Really Controls the National Guard? The Second Amendment Debate We’ve Ignored America’s state militias were meant as a check on tyranny. Now they can be federalized at will.

The Second Amendment wasn’t written for executive orders and barbed wire around the Capitol—it was written to ensure a well-regulated militia that answers to the people and their states. Today, that balance is being pulled apart. My latest:

NEW: I spoke to @rondeibert.bsky.social ahead of his keynote at Black Hat today.

Ron travelled to Vegas to warn the cybersec industry that perhaps it’s time to get political.

So we're clear: These acts of intimidation are just another attempt at stoking fear and confusion.

Landlords should know they are under no obligation to turn over tenant information to ICE without a warrant signed by a judge.
