PSA if it this helps people - if you want a full Microsoft 365 subscription, with E5, test data etc - that you can add Defender MDE on too - for free, head here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/dev-program#Subscription

It's really good, you can test all the MS Office and security technology for free, access Threat Analytics (normally paywalled) etc.

Hey #product and #productmanagement peeps.

Are you still here?

I haven't seem much activity recently.

@chrissistrunk thanks for writing and sharing this. I note you finish with a point on measuring success; do you have some suggestions on good kpis that you've used?
@ianmcshane I'm sure I read an earlier version of that article contained some extra wording along the lines of "police admitted there was a risk in using sms notifications but they only had the mobile number available". So it seems like they've thought about it a bit and put in some mitigations but still couldn't quite bring themselves to dispense with a click-here link and just ask people to google "Action Fraud".
@deweyritten option 2 and thus, by induction, if you have 1 lasagne you can divide it in to infinity many lasagne and need never go hungry again!
@jerry @TOoSmOotH seems a bit of a stretch to say hosting an account equals unfettered support for that person or org. No one is perfect and I prefer them to be here so they can be scrutinised. Something else for the instance values statement.
@Dcuthbert thanks for sharing this - looks like a really good site with 101 #threatmodeling content but also a community for deeper discussions. Have you been involved for a while or did you recently discover it?
@gossithedog did you mean to add a lnk? :)

@wendynather good to see you here and thanks for sharing the article. Can celebrate #cybersecurity not coming last in the list of alternative careers :)

"Other fast-growing employment prospects that could use tech skills: startups for marijuana services in states where the drug is legal (like California), logistics and supply chain operations, health care, cybersecurity infrastructure, data analysis, hospitality and travel, and plain old information technology."

Don't want to link your fresh install of Windows 11 with a Microsoft account? (VM for test, reinstalled laptop or whatever)

Easy peasy! You have two options:

# First option: Provide locked Microsoft account (minimum hassle, requires internet)

When asked to provide a Microsoft account, use [email protected] and a random password. This account is locked, and Windows will error out, and tell you that.

You can then proceed to use any local only account.

# Second option: No internet trick (can also be used if you actually *don't* have internet)

Make sure there's no ethernet cable in the machine. Install like you'd normally do, right up to the point where it whines about internet connectivity requirement.

Press Shift-F10, and you get a command prompt. Enter this command:

OOBE\BYPASSNRO

Your installation will now restart, but at the network requirement part, theres a "I don't have internet" option. Click on that, and you can create a local only user.

Both tricks works for the latest Windows 11 22H2 too!
