I am a technology journalist and a cybersecurity subject matter expert. Comments are my own; normal disclaimers apply.

CVEs likely will reach an all-time high this year, perhaps surpassing 40,000. What's the cyber insurance take on all this and the growing number of vulnerabilities? What must boards, CISOs & CIOs know? Check out my latest in @DarkReading. #CyberInsurance

Are data brokers misbehaving when it comes to compliance with CCPA? Are their actions sinister or simply part of their learning curve? A UCI study looked at these data brokers' actions. Here's my take in #DarkReading

@jasonkoebler Anyone else notice that the type font the administration is using is very similar to the font used by Hitler's propaganda machine.
@QasimRashid Chuck Schumer is becoming the the Dem's Trump. Where is the leadership? Who will we depend on to lead the party against this regime? Certainly not Schumer and no other Dem senator is standing up to take over. No wonder the GOP makes fun of the Dems.
Happy Canada Day!

Considering how many lies we've heard from ICE, Trump, and others in this administration, ICE denying it tried to enter Dodger Stadium sounds hollow. Men in unmarked cars and masks are the trademark of ICE raids - and kidnappers.

We require a federal law that says federal agents not working undercover must have badges, their names, their agency and their face clearly visible during a police action.

@The_Icarian The is the classic definition of kidnapping. False identity (federal and most state laws requires police to identify themselves with a valid official ID, even if they cover their faces), taking children without parental permission, lying to school employees, etc. add up to kidnapping and perhaps human trafficking. This is a big deal. ICE agents can't use the "I'm only following orders" defense the NAZIs used at Nuremberg. This is serious business, folks. This must be stopped.

Time for a history lesson, folks. After WW2, Nazi soldiers and officers were brought to trial in Nuremberg. When asked why they committed the atrocities they did, they said they were only following orders. It didn't wash with the judges and a great many were convicted.

Will the Marines in Los Angeles try to use the same defense if they break the laws? I hope these American soldiers remember they swore an oath to the Constitution, not Trump.

@Kristian_Kiehling Just one more example of Trump trying to silence the media. The autocrat keeps trying to take over. When will Congress top him?
@mitchw Looks like Snoopy finally defeated the Red Baron.
