I second this. No one would be where they are without a community and society. We need to support each other and invest in our people.
It shits my brains to see people work three jobs to feed their family while I sit in front of a computer eight hours a day. I'd gladly pay more taxes to help mothers spent evening with their kids instead of doing another shift at walmart.

Hi @fancy_flare! Remember me? Almost being electrocuted by a bar together and a hazy memory of stealing glassware...

Popping this up. A lot of folks now canceling holiday plans. Show your appreciation.
Your front line infosec folks are working non stop right now. Feed them. Give them breaks. Remember they have a life outside of work. Show appreciation. Be grateful. It costs $0 to be kind & respectful. They are under tremendous stress - even if they hide it.

I’m not suggesting automation and orchestration are bad. You should absolutely use them. You should also make sure they don’t make you weak. If you landed in a job today where you don’t really understand fundamentals, take some time to fix that. You’ll never regret it. /FIN

Well I finally got the first version up. You can now search to see if a crypto currency wallet address is on the OFAC sanctions list. canipaytheransom.com I'll be adding more info and making it SSL soon.

The latest CISA advisory on the SolarWinds compromise is sobering. It suggests we don't know the worst of it yet, and that a great many organizations have a herculean task in front of them in terms of incident response. us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/alerts…

Some of the best response guidance I've seen. Thanks @TrustedSec!
🚨URGENT🚨 Our #IncidentResponse team has put together a playbook of recommended actions to provide some level of assurance that your organization is no longer affected by the SolarWinds backdoor #solarigate hubs.la/H0CPz9r0

We need real change & deliberate dismantling of systems of systemic oppression. We have so much work to do, work that starts with me, you, & every org around the world doing what is right, not just saying they are committed but without action #PayEquityNow payequitynowfoundation.org/p…

But most of all #SUBURST has me thinking again why "May you live in interesting times" is a curse

If #SUNBURST demonstrates what a hostile power can do with a supply-chain attack, never question what intelligence services can do with cooperating domestic vendors. And again the majority of those vendors are based in the West.

One long-term cost of #SUNBURST will fall on ISVs and their customers who now need to validate the rest of their enterprise software stacks. This cost will fall disproportionately on Western Democracies where these technologies are highly leveraged.
