  Um, can anyone please help me with a contact at VirusTotal to unblock a school IP?

  I’ve been talking to a lot of journalists about the US Midwest water hacking and I get asked a lot why we hear so little about cyber threats against water and sewage when it’s what scares us as practitioners the most. I think it’s psychological. >>>

  Nobody warns you how tremendously disconcerting going back to an American restaurant is after living anywhere else long term. - them walking off with your credit card & no tap to pay - the huge portions and sodium - the weird attentiveness for tips - being IDed over 30 - flags everywhere

  Since we are doing eating and Australia this is how you eat fast food sushi in Australia - one of the cheapest quick bites you can get anywhere.

  Emigrating has generally been a very, very complicated and difficult task, but by far the hardest aspect has been relearning how to use a knife and fork. It's way harder than accents or driving on the other side of the road.

  I hate this. https://www.reddit.com/r/ITCareerQuestions/comments/1vbsrpf/comment/p0w8t1z/?context=3

  Even the man stubbornly fights the man in Australia This is the KFC reaction to a postal worker getting fired after an unauthorised KFC break (other stuff too, but everyone likes a good tale)

  They had better have chosen ACDC for the Australian emergency alert tone

  I’m in Singapore, and somehow I accidentally booked myself a tiny Disney princess hotel room that I can barely move around in without bonking my shins. It is tremendously goofy and fun but I have also been on 70 hours of flights so I’m very tired

  Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Castle are both absolutely iconic movies for millennials and Gen X, and I can’t believe I never saw them in America. I mean, Hugo Weaving giving a thoughtful performance on 90s LGBT struggles, in drag, with dialogue on trans life at the time. (Cis actor aside.)

  People don’t get that how far a bit of courtesy and effort goes in job hunts. I have gifted conference passes, party invites, given referrals, certification vouchers, and internships to mentees who showed up and cared. I’ve also permanently blocklisted people who low effort AI spammed, or no showed.

  I bought a Fjallraven backpack because they were so highly recommended, and I’m sorry, I don’t understand the point and I have massive regrets. Someone needs to sell me the bag I purchased, because it’s not padded well and has no luggage strap or extra security pockets. Why do people buy these?

  I’ll be debuting a new paper tomorrow at #OTCEP withJan Hoff. It’s about how to detect and more relevantly, remediate large scale commodity malware infections in legacy Windows environments that are unfortunately extremely common in critical infrastructure. https://dragos.brightspotcdn.com/26/7e/547e75c5410ba8e2aec7525fae46/dragos-2026-otcep-ir-whitepaper.pdf

  Having an in person international or national event in America? Are you weighing factors like lodging and transport? Cool stuff to do? Here’s a map to consider if any of your attendees may possibly, even remotely be LGBTQIA. And you care about them.

  American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug and psychosis. Try being an immigrant American living somewhere with social medical and telling people it’s actually good and less expensive. The bots and naysayers come screaming out of the woodwork to try to make excuses for why it’s actchully terrible.

  I talked to Decipher about my upcoming academic paper on legacy malware response in critical infrastructure https://cybersecpods.com/podcasts/decipher-security-podcast/industrial-cybersecurity-and-malware-archaeology-with-lesley-carhart/

  It’s fascinating to live in a time where the majority of global consumers are just fed up and hate everything new on the market. Hate removal of physical media Hate forced AI Hate video surveillance in cars and homes Hate micro transactions Hate digital subscriptions What a time to be alive!

  I’m going to be pretty surprised honestly if Telstra being totally down for four hours isn’t DNS.

  A lot of kind words today from people who never gave up on us. https://www.canaan.com/latest/safeguarding-civilization-why-we-backed-dragos-from-day-one

  The most benign but still absolutely terrible part of Palantir surveilling every move we make in global groceries is someone actually does know and permanently record when I eat nothing but paneer tikka masala instant meals for 10 days straight

  When you’re an atheist, but you join the UUC to do human rights activism - and you get to sing songs from the book of the dead on Sunday whilst talking about First Nations rights

  Went to the doc today and she was like, here’s your bc prescription and your shots, see you in a year” and I was like “but no exam?” and “shouldn’t I lose some weight?” and she was like “what no, you’re perfectly healthy?” and fam, I genuinely love Australia and I’m sorry I have US healthcare trauma

  Please remember it’s 11pm for me if you’re about to text me about the news - and no, I am not retiring to become Lara Croft, yet. 😵

  I just finished a 16,000 word whitepaper on conficker incident response in 2026 because we’ve gotten that many IR activations and I really didn’t think this is where I’d be

  I have a friend who prefers to stay anonymous who gives this amazing talk in non US (but allied) countries about how long their internet will -really- function if they lose all comms with American data centers and it’s… phew. It’s a thing. Some resilient ones will last a few weeks before certificates expire. But CF is a wrench.

  One of my mentees today wanted help getting a “department of war! ✨✨🇺🇸” position and was super excited about it and I barely made it through with credulity and manners. Like, they signed up with me.

  I can’t stop thinking about the redistricting in TN. My cousin, who practically lived as my only brother for years after his parents passed away, died indigent in TN. I had to dig his belongings out of insects and food waste and pay for his cremation. He was 38. There were no mental support services

  I know this is EXTRAORDINARILY BAD TIMING but I am writing it to pin to my profiles. So, I do a lot of stuff. I work in critical infrastructure. I volunteer operate career clinics. I teach and speak on the topics. I have not tooled my life to become wealthy by any means - I try to do ethical and interesting stuff. Leaving X two years ago really hit my ability to be able to reach audiences. The hard fact is, I use the money I make on side gigs like commercial speaking to be able to do communit...
