Digital Riot (she/her)

oh thank you. I appreciate the compliment. You do as well :) Security space is the best space!!

no I don't work in blockchain. My mentor is teaching me about blockchain security from his own framework. He has his own company. I'm just learning the security programming side of it.

that's very true. When I went to school for my first degree, schools use to run background checks on people before they even let them into the program.

Why do people gatekeep in the cybersecurity community?

B/c they're scared they are going to lose their edge.
If you want to make a difference by making a more secure and better world don't gatekeep. How will future generations learn?
Help those who want to use it for good.

Cybersecurity Tip of the Day

Don't Open Links from people you do NOT know. If your friends send you a link you don't recognize don't open it their account could be compromised. Always run links through virustotal

I was taught that politics is disagreeing with how to address a problem, not disagreeing on whether the people suffering from the problem should be villainized.

We can negotiate on a solution to a problem. There is no middle ground on whether we should be villainizing the victims of a problem.

Tomorrow is my first lecture of the semester. I'm really excited to be learning about digital forensics. Time to pull up my 3.93 GPA. Only because I made one B :*(

The Pentester Dashboard allows non-technical staff to review findings related to the company technology and data leaks such as passwords. Technical users have a separate dashboard which provides detailed results, and instruction on how to mitigate items found.

Has your data been involved in a breach?

What a lot of young people don't get is that you can be a hacker and an activist without turning down a dark road. Be of value to the cybersecurity community. Protect innocent people from data breaches.

NEW: An IMSI Catcher (CSS/Stingray) was likely deployed at the DNC, potentially collecting sensitive phone data from protesters and politicians. Who authorized it—and why—remains a mystery.

I had fun this weekend learning about securing blockchain.Three and half hours nonstop with my mentor teaching me about Solidity. embedded Assembly, and securing blockchain.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently
