@briankrebs This also seems to be a preferred way to jump start an infosec career. The orgs that have stuff to protect either want a PhD or someone like that who proved themselves "effective" in committing crimes. Someone like me who writes defensive utilities isn't even going to get responses for junior sysadmin posts.

One of the problems with prosecuting cybercriminals is that building cases and investigations takes time, often years. -
Is there a word for the digital squirreling involved in reading something in Apple News and trying to figure out the original URL by searching the headline online and then cutting and pasting the original story link into a virtual machine so I can see ...@briankrebs My first encounter with Apple News links was clicking on them only to be told 'This story can only be viewed in the Apple News app'.
Seems they stopped doing that years ago, but it was a nice little lesson and I still avoid them.

Okay, so we may need to adjust our threat models slightly?@briankrebs Now do bluetooth. There are many devices that have both wifi and bluetooth, and the latter's security is pretty bad.

1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky funding and origins.@jdp23 @davetroy You're aware that one of the best known anarchists, Moxie Marlinspike, was involved in the creation of a major cryptocurrency? After his time at Signal, that's what he did and then Signal integrated that cryptocoin into their app!
Go back in time to fediverse 2017, you will see anarchists all over promoting cryptocurrency. And I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people I had debates with as recently as a year ago, citing aid to journalists and refugees, weren't anarchists. Some of the software projects I've been involved in were headed by individuals who were intensely anti-border and pro-cryptocurrency.
Anarchists forget their own history that Julian Assange is or was their hero, and that many of them reacted strongly to the US govt cutting off Wikileaks' money flow. A lot of anarchist momentum went into bitcoin because of that.

Big news and a great step from The Guardian. -
I posted this elsewhere, but I thought it was worth bringing here.@noracodes This touches on one of my pet peeves but I won't burden your thread with a long reply. Today's computer literacy rant:
