Malware Village 2d ago

Happy birthday to...us! 🎂

Today, May Day 2025, World Cyber Health, the parent organization of #MalwareVillage, officially became incorporated in Canada as a not-for-profit organization.

What this means is that, soon, we will be able to begin fundraising to pay for our operations, which include Malware Village, but also several other important projects that focus on training the next generation of malware analysts, and helping victims of cybercrime.

Until those mechanisms are set up, you can support the organization and its efforts by purchasing #malmons embroidered patches from our swag store. MV and WCH founder Lena Yu created these unique characters to represent malware families.

We're looking forward to seeing many of you at upcoming conferences, including DEF CON 33. Our call for presentations is open until midnight UTC May 25. Submit your proposal soon!

The #rsac thoughts board on Day 4.

Lots of post-its on diversity, women in cyber, people first, love, and less AI. Hopefully zoom-able.

apparently there is a “rave collective” in toronto that has offered to be on-call for any reports of right-wing protests to bring a portable sound system and drown them out with 200bpm hardcore acid techno

Renewed my Sec+. Not as relevant now with my CISSP, and it wasn’t doing me any favors in my job search last year, but I’ll give it one renewal before I most likely let it go.

This is a really honest, vulnerable, and heartfelt piece, by the cis mother of a deceased trans girl

The Danger of Cis Complacency

How one dismal suburban dinner party focussed my mind as to the danger of cis complacency in the fight for trans rights.

I've felt so crushed by the UK Supreme Court ruling in the For Women Scotland (FWS) case, that states, for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010 sex now means ‘biological’ sex. I’ve struggled to collect my thoughts, to feel like I’ve anything unique to say. The internet is awash with analyses of the ruling. I’m not the person to do a deep dive into what it means. I’m not a lawyer, nor an academic, I don’t have a long history of feminist enquiry under my belt. Within a few sentences of the repor

Looks like Corporate #infosec has made it's choice.

#RSAC is filled with talks embracing AI and making it "secure".

And they invited and encouraged the Trump regime to spread its disinformation - fully sanctioned and encouraged by the conference leadership(and by conference attendees who laughed at the regime's jokes and lies and issued no challenges or stands during the talk).

With the ostracization of #ChrisKrebs by industry and the full embrace of Kristi Noem as a speaker, this was the moment that infosec made its bed.

Y'all lie in it now.
