Sure times are bleak. But being friendly with the baristas (on a first name basis at this point) resulted in not just a personalized shout out on my drink but a free cheese danish that someone else drove off without getting. A bright spot during dark days.
And yes the other teas? Well I have a total of 10 meetings today, need to get prepped.
Curious, what "example name" do you use in documentation? I mean besides something boring like "John Smith" or "Jane Doe". My current fave is "Alison Chains".
You know that nerd thing where there's a joke amongst techies and one of them buys the domain for the joke? Imagine simply keeping that domain and actually using it for something. Behold!

π‘ Security isnβt a collective fear - itβs a shared competence β

Digital and cyber risks donβt always fit into standard risk assessment models. They use different language, involve complex causes, and depend on interlinked systems.
In this talk, Εukasz KrΓ³l shares how to make digital security feel real, relatable and doable, even for non-technical audiences. Heβll show how to compare digital risks to physical, financial, and legal threats using simple analogies, how to break down the myth of omnipresent surveillance, and how to use storytelling to make threat modelling feel less abstract.
With real examples heβll prove that empathy, clarity, and simple frameworks can turn fear into action.
Εukasz KrΓ³l https://pretalx.com/bsidesluxembourg-2026/speaker/NLVVCF/ is a digital security trainer at the ICRC Global Cyber Hub in Luxembourg. He has a background in politics, technology, and international relations. He is particularly interested in digital security pedagogies, selecting secure and sustainable digital tools, and effectively supporting at-risk groups and individuals.

A few minutes ago on the live feed for #artemis I watched the astronaut with the tablet on his lap unlock it with a password of 3939. Hope they change it before the next flight.

The βas-a-service modelβ has become ubiquitous across the cybercrime ecosystem. Previously dominated by tight-knit, exclusive groups, cybercrime is now a distributed international marketplace of service providers and consumers. As a result, it is more resilient than ever, with the gaps left by law enforcement takedowns quickly filled by the next opportunistic teenager.
However, to operate effectively in this anonymous distributed economy, threat actors need to build a reputation to gain trust. Does this give us an opportunity?
In this presentation, Elliot Parsons discusses the importance of trust in the cybercrime ecosystem and walks through a real-world investigation involving a prominent phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) provider. The case study illustrates that trust and OpSec do not mix, exposing threat actors to identification.

Okay I know I could simply repair the keyboard with the intermittent keyboard problem impacting a couple of keys by taking apart my HP Dev One and cleaning/fixing/replacing things which will fix the problem, but am I doing that?
Of course not. Instead I'm of course thinking about just upgrading the laptop and I am trying to use this scenario as an excuse to try and justify a new fancy laptop purchase.
If you run Sendmail for a domain and are under regular attack by APT actors, then boy oh boy I have a fun blog post for you! What? Just me?
Ah well, you might find it interesting nonetheless as it is a monitoring problem I needed solving, and managed to actually meet my own needs.
