Senior Editor at @README_Security. (Opinions are mine and Mordenkainen’s.) Too many tabs, too little time.

Heads up to anyone in prison, domestic abuse victims, people in "no phone" secure facilities, and chem teachers hiding meth phones in the ceiling.

The optics here for @arm are not good at all. This is bullying behaviour and given how much Azeria has done to highlight arm security and research, a poor look for arm.
Update: my blog azeria-labs.com is currently blocked due to the C&D.
It’ll (hopefully) be back up once this has been resolved and I transferred all my arm related domains to @Arm.
Though I am upset about the impatience despite my willingness to cooperate.
I don't post much about work, but README has moved to a new site! It's pretty cool. readme.synack.com/ Oh, and it has a LinkedIn page now, too. linkedin.com/company/readme-… Just in case... ya know.

A lot of people want to talk about the “cybersecurity personnel shortage” and refuse to acknowledge that breaking into the industry (entry level jobs) is astronomically hard and HR job requirements vs pay for many companies are insanely outdated. Fix that and fix your problem.

Microsoft's "Data security and Python in Excel" looks pretty good.
However, we have diminishing faith in Microsoft's security implementations and we have very high faith in nerds wanting to exploit stuff.

A new treat while waiting for your Uber: 90 second video ads
“We have 2 minutes of your attention. We know where you are, we know where you are going to, we know what you have eaten. We can use all of that to then basically target a video ad towards you.”

A vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer has multiplied, with Huntress discovering a second flaw that can be exploited to enable arbitrary code execution, as README senior editor @nathanielmott reports in the latest edition of Changelog:
readme.security/moveit-users…
I made it through an entire newsletter without making a barracuda or "move it" joke so I rewarded myself with a celebration of Apple getting its ducking head on right when it comes to automatically correcting swear words:
