MartinReading through this report from Access Now and Citizen Lab concerning the use of mercenary spyware on Jordanian civil society and journalists. Interestingly, they also mention the use of Apple's "lockdown mode" for iPhones, "appears to have blocked some attempts to compromise Apple devices with Pegasus." https://www.accessnow.org/publication/between-a-hack-and-a-hard-place-how-pegasus-spyware-crushes-civic-space-in-jordan/

I wrote an uncomfortable for some blog about how too much security education is capitalist harm
Working in security education is just saying pls listen and collaborate more and having people who think vanity dashboards and saying phish smish vish works tell you “no one will listen “
You don’t have anything to fear from the SEC solarwinds case, if you are transparent, accountable and communicate with the business

Latest cybersecurity education thoughts from me, your fave opinionated woman

The online harms bill won’t keep children safe but it will give more power to the police and their partners, none of whom have ever hurt people … oh wait
What infosec needs is to listen more, and to establish strategies for collaboration and communication.
That’s it
I don’t think we have many people who are true empaths. And they are certainly not men in tech who took my phone and went through it, with other men, the first time I met them
The ally shield is strong, you can use it to hide all sorts of really terrible behavior
So happy to see this research into the influences behind edtech
A big question I ask educators to ask themselves before they engage is “how does this edtech platform make money?”
Edtech is amazing, it has opened worlds of possibilities. But we cannot and should not just adopt things and let influences in unchecked
Excellent work by Janja Komljenovic.
Huw Davies Ben Williamson, Rebecca Enyon.
So many big security companies have security issues.
we need more honesty about the fact that security is never “done”, that tech is often designed badly or with terrible UX, we should stop telling the public to “just do xyz”, if we can’t do it ourselves, or if the services we present as trusted let them down.
Maybe we need to be more humble, honest and communicate in better ways.
