I should use this more.

I suspected a lot of people were a little antisemitic, but I’m sad to see how many of my colleagues & friends are doubling down on their knee-jerk indignation and aligning their compassion with people who want to kill me.

This made me spit take. And I‘m on a plane right now.

To lose one Speaker may regarded as a misfortune. To lose four looks like carelessness.

Hmmm. A neat graph (stole this from the Russian Central Bank). The red indicates the growing share of the Chinese yuan on the Russian fx market.

Protip: Check in on your Jewish friends. We’re all discovering how many antisemitic, morally dubious & just plain stupid/cowardly some of our friends & colleagues are. It’s a whole other level of depressing. #IStandWithIsrael

I don't have any intel to add, I'm not interested in provoking any emotion among strangers. I am, however, very concerned that this is the start of a very dark time in history. One thought keeps running through my head: “One person can make a difference and everyone should try.” -JFK

I'm nominated for an award! And it's the real deal (i.e. not a pay-to-play thing that is so common in the cyber world). Thank you Executive Women's Forum on Information Security, Risk Management & Privacy. It really is an honor!

Ever wonder how many ways there are to achieve command & control of an endpoint? I calculated the permutations of the MITRE Att&ck framework and came up with 24,668,886,476,695,633,513,888 With over 24 sextillion combinations to achieve C2/mission success, resilience is futile.

Last night I saw a great documentary about Russia’s efforts to erase Ukrainian culture by bombing museums, libraries & monuments. I highly recommend it & you can watch it here: youtu.be/WhrRioHFj-k?si… #SlavaUkraïni

PROTIP: Get your COVID and flu shots together at precisely 10am. This way you sleep through the side effects. You're welcome.

If you want to know my secret for explaining complicated tech to non-tech stakeholders, @Forbes published it here: www.forbes.com/sites/forbes...

Remember pantyhose?

Must read for anyone interested in data brokers and big data analysis. www.nytimes.com/2023/09/22/m...

I’m too scared to go to temple on Sunday/Monday. I’m worried there will be #antisemitic violence, a shooting, etc. Yom Kippur break-fast is my favorite part of the holiday & but it’s no fun to do home alone. Can you imagine being too scared to go to Easter services?

I have a new article up on Forbes about the inaccurate concept and existential threat of cyberwar. www.forbes.com/sites/forbes...

Has anyone had the shingles, flu & COVID vaxxes in one day? Is that a death wish. DISCLAIMER: I’m unlike to follow advice solicited from strangers on social media, but I am curious.

Shana Tova, my people! May 5784 be better than 5783. (And happy Friday to everyone else).

Holy Zeus. I might be a man. How often do men think about ancient Rome? Quite frequently, it seems. wapo.st/45QY1ns

I just learned that when Torch/PyTorch gets updated....no one knows who's doing the updating (because Meta let it go ages ago). It's likely that all or most of the repositories are compromised. #terrifying #natsec #infosec #nerdalert

Everyone sit down. I have big news: I can now correctly spell *and* pronounce "chłopiec je jabłko" #Polskijesttrudny

@forbes.com printed my tip for Out-Of-The-Box Thinking: "In brainstorming sessions, I reward the worst idea. For really out there ideas, we joke that it’s a “Red Lobster idea,” because it might win the coveted gift card to the @redlobster near our office." www.forbes.com/sites/forbes...

While I disagree with Keir's premise that the tech industry needs more scrutiny just because Elon Musk is a Russian asset, this is a must read. #natsec www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I still can't get over this so I'm reposting. When did they legalize giving aid & comfort to an enemy? wapo.st/3r78rA6

There is entirely too much true crime content. What happened to nature documentaries?! I just want to learn about octopuses, not murdered sex workers.

"Jestem szczęśliwy" is how you say "I am happy" in Polish. However, my pronunciation is unlikely to make any Polish person very happy.

Is 1845 too early to go to bed? #askingforafriend

Falling asleep just now, for no reason at al,l I suddenly remembered that circa 1995, I built an online confessional called “ForgiveMeFather”dotcom. I am neither Catholic nor interested in confessions, I made it because I had just learned how to code a cgi bin. And people used it.
