HUMINT, attribution, and breaking things. I break things real good

Prior careers in the Navy and #Natsec. Currently interested in #DFIR, #policy, and #retrogaming

I tried to apply anyway but the apostrophe in my name posed some problems to their backend.
10+ years of saying "sure boss, sounds good to me!"
Hey ServiceNow, you deeply deserve whoever you hire

I went to an AI meetup introducing some functions of MCP servers. And they showed a neat little tool that took wiki pages and made them into JIRA tickets. When it came time for Q&A a junior dev said they had implemented something like that at her company and how could she get her coworkers to stop sending her automated garbage tickets. Guy says "well yeah using AI is a skill that has to be trained..." #llm
Saying here what I can't say under my name because it would get me blackballed - the most common LLM implementations cannot be secured without crippling their functionality. I can limit the blast radius for you, but even a segregated locally trained model will still give helpful hints on exfil if it has useful organizational data. And if it doesn't? Well you laid off half your staff to fund something like that?
Reading the discourse on Anthropic's APT breach
"Cybersecurity professionals must reorient towards new AI threats." I'd love to Mike, but you laid us all off.

"Why don't you start your own project?" Every time I send an email, it gets forwarded to the most senior person available, who promptly ignores it. ICs will not talk to me without sign off from multiple managers. People are 'busy', working on task lists that would take the average person a couple of hours.

The company that acquired me is the market leader in its vertical.

BigCo assigned me a project. Then the CISO quit. Then a manager came off leave and needed a project, so he was assigned my project too. In the past 6 weeks that he has been running it, He's set up recurring meetings about meetings and wrote a mission statement.

If you've ever wondered what your manager is doing all day, it might be choking himself to stay awake after lunch

Thinking about I did a blog post on how LI has had a major security breach every year for 9 years. They emailed my company's GC to say they're not mad please stop writing on the internet that they're mad #infosec
Still looking for work from within the bowels of BigCo that acquired me. Can we talk about how many LinkedIn job postings are transparently fake? How you can vary search terms but your results won't change? How you can't filter results in any meaningful way, and it will prioritize a month old fake job ad over something relevant posted yesterday?
