Things change, all the #time. What was once merely an air raid #shelter, can become an #office, or even a #home. We are not limited by our #imagination alone, we decide which #door to open and enter. Doors are a #metaphor for entries into #spaces that are virtual, mental, physical, or of any kind you can imagine, and make real for yourself.

Very glad in this week's #HackingHumans that we could educate @bittner about bofa. (Yes. I said what I said.)

While hacking into a system may be difficult, hacking a person can be easier. Social engineering is the art of manipulating people into giving up confidential information. Think phishing emails, pretexting, and baiting. In the '90s, Kevin Mitnick was notorious for his social engineering tactics, which allowed him to infiltrate major corporations. Despite the growing sophistication of tech, it’s still humans who are often the weakest link in cybersecurity.

A few days ago I discovered the "Hacking Humans" podcast with Dave Bittner (@bittner), Joe Carrigan (@jtcarrigan), and guest-turned-host Maria Varmazis (@varmazis), hosted by @N2K (The) CyberWire®. https://thecyberwire.com/podcasts/hacking-humans

So far I have binged episodes back to the first of August...
2023.

Confession: I fell for N2K's "Pro" scam and signed up for N2K Pro.. Pro.. Pro.. Pro.. Pro Membership Plan "N2K CyberWire" (Pro not included) at the bargain price of "$0 Free" for the ad-free podcast (ads included). https://thecyberwire.com/pro
[Do.. not.. make.. "N2K Con".. joke.]

Work-related update: I got upgrade to Co-Host on #HackingHumans as of this week. Thank you so much to listeners who wrote in with kind support when I was a guest. It’s thanks to your feedback that I’m now part of the show every week. Very glad I get to wear my infosec hat weekly as I continue my daily space work with T-Minus. I often can’t believe I get to do this podcasting gig for a living and I don’t take it for granted. Hashtag grateful 😉🥰

Can no longer listen to #HackingHumans podcast. App says “episode not available”. Tried with and without VPN and having rebooted phone. *shrugs*

Hey @varmazis - great article you shared on today's #HackingHumans. Being that it came from a fashion site naturally drew extra attention and interest from me. Awesomely, the weekly security briefing I attend on Thursdays also mentioned the article as well. 😊

Love when fashion and security collide. This was great that it was being exposed to a non-security community base.
