I loved reading this article of 3 teenagers' descent into criminal hacking, their arrests, and later finding redemption. @a_greenberg is so good at telling stories, backed by deeply-researched reporting.
I spent this year talking to the 3 young hackers behind Mirai, the malware that once broke the internet.
This is WIRED's resulting cover story—an epic, untold, 22,000-word tale of cybercrime, friendship, chaos, betrayal, paranoia, and redemption.

Lockheed Martin today appears to be the first to comply with the SEC's cybersecurity rules in its annual report. The new item 1C on cybersecurity is surprisingly extensive: sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edg…
This includes: "Whether and which management positions [e.g., the CISO] or committees are responsible for assessing and managing such risks, and the relevant expertise of such persons or members in such detail as necessary to fully describe the nature of the expertise."

#Breaking A federal judge decides not to sentence former Uber security chief Joe Sullivan to prison, but to 3 years probation. "I hope everyone in the CISO community take this is a lesson, and not leniency." @lawdotcom
I wrote an article with @mlowrycpa for The Wall Street Journal about how CISOs can gain influence in their organizations:

I’ll be talking about this research with @iMeluny and @DiscernibleInc this Friday, 12/8 at 3pm ET. Join us!
How do CISOs build legitimacy with the board?
Don't miss your chance to join us next Thursday for a live discussion with Dr. @anthonyvance about his recent findings on improving the relationship between CISOs and the board of directors.

And here’s the open access research article that the WSJ article is based on: aisel.aisnet.org/icis2022/se…
This is what “responsible departure” of a CISO looks like.
Twitter must soon submit a compliance report to the FTC about its security/privacy practices. washingtonpost.com/technolog…
I've made the hard decision to leave Twitter. I've had the opportunity to work with amazing people and I'm so proud of the privacy, security, and IT teams and the work we've done.
I'm looking forward to figuring out what's next, starting with my reviews for @USENIXSecurity 😁

Thank you @DiscernibleInc, for talking with me.
Influence as a trusted advisor is a core competency for effective CISO communications.

I’m very sorry about this result. The CISO role, already one of the toughest jobs in corporations, just got harder.
#Breaking: Uber’s former head of security Joe Sullivan found guilty of obstructing an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission into Uber’s security practices and hiding a 2016 data breach from authorities. @CourthouseNews
I published an article in the @WSJ with @mlowrycpa about why boards of directors need more cybersecurity expertise: wsj.com/articles/corporate-b…
I love these long reads from @a_greenberg. Hopefully this is a chapter for a future book? :)
In 2011, RSA was hacked by Chinese spies, who stole the "seed" values used to generate codes on SecurID 2fa tokens, shocking the security world. Now, after 10 years, the NDAs of the staff involved have expired. This is the untold story they shared with me: wired.com/story/the-full-sto…
Excellent and poignant obituary of internet security luminary @dakami. Thank you, @nicoleperlroth.

It's fun seeing characters from @nicoleperlroth's past reporting reappear in her new book, "This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends: The Cyberweapons Arms Race."

I really enjoyed @a_greenberg’s book talk for “Sandworm,” about the Russian hacking group responsible for the NotPetya malware (amazon.com/dp/0385544405/ref…).
Even better, half of my @TUFoxMIS cybersecurity class attended with me.
