25 years doing this kind of work and I am still never confident I have spelled “Schneier” correctly.

It's not every day I get to link to @its_adamneely regarding an infosec issue but today is one of those special days.
You've probably read about this issue but Adam brings additional insight and perspective.

Thinking about pitch inflation, if I take off my infosec hat for a moment and put my metalhead hat back on (🤘), @its_adamneely, have you any comment on the pitch deflation prevalent in metal?
Having inherited security programs myself, I quite agree with @c7five 's take here.
At the same time, willfully deceiving the board is over the line. (And I assume illegal at a public company.)
Gaps? Inevitable. Lying about gaps? Not OK.
Confused by the @dotMudge whistleblow. When you are hired to lead security at a company, you are undoubtedly going to inherit problems like described in the article. It’s your job to lead through constant improvement to a better, more secure place & reduce risk. It’s hard work.

The amazing badges by @mytechnotalent and pals are even more impressive in person. Plus we got to hang out with some excellent humans.

OK, time to go get my badge then wander over to the Linq pool to give @JackRhysider a hard time. :)

Intelligence acquired since the beginning of the Russian military operation over Ukraine has shown an immense lack of logistic support, making this war one of the most unique in 2022 when it comes to surveillance.

If you define "overwhelmingly positive" to include "caused industry-wide consternation over an apparent scam followed by astonishment at IRB incompetence" then yes, I concur the responses were overwhelmingly positive. Great work, @RossTeixeira, keep it up.

Lots of security, privacy, and tech professionals carry knives. I do. I’ve had a slew of bosses and employees who do.
We are not a threat to society. A knife is a tool. Having a knife in the car is not a reason to be shot by police.
WI cops are making excuses for murder.

Fun fact:
Before getting a job offer that wound up as a turning point in my career, the only face-to-face conversation I’d had with the VP eng before he made me an offer was a chat about the folding knives we both carry.
I’m not saying @kershawknives got me the job but…
