Just had an unexpected fire alarm in our building. I was impressed to see that everyone actually evacuated immediately and calmly. Sounds like such a minor thing, but so many folks don't take it seriously when the real stuff goes down.
This instance was a false alarm, but it serves as a good reminder: always assume it's real. Take action. Because when it's not a false alarm, action makes all the difference.
Hmm... I don't know that I like this. Anyone have any thoughts on the company that Yubico is merging with? Could be nothing, but I've seen too many mergers with questionable motivations in the past.
Yubico sets the bar (in my opinion) for security keys. I surely hope that continues to be the case and we don't find out there was something fishy about this acquisition/merger.

Yubico announces its intent to go public through a merger with ACQ Bure, a Swedish holding company, on Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Stockholm. This strategic move aims to fuel Yubico's long-term growth in the cybersecurity market. The merger is expected to be completed in Q3 2023.
If y'all have not had a chance to play around with Microsoft Sentinel, I am super impressed! There are so many useful features with this tool. I'm still very early in the learning process and I've already found tons of useful data.
Anyone have Sentinel tips for blue teamers?
If you have any control over email validation, please check to make sure that your RegEx doesn't have antiquated detection logic. I can't tell you how many times I come across services that refuse to accept an email address with a TLD longer than three characters.
There are tons of websites out there now with TLDs longer than three characters. Not allowing users to use the email that they want when signing up is a quick way to cause frustration or even user abandonment.
Someone on the blue site posted recently about hearing impairment and how them tweeting about it had helped in real life because folks were more aware of it. I think that's awesome!
I figured I would try following the example.
I've worn hearing aids since I was four years old. I have a 25% hearing deficit, mostly in the upper frequencies. Most folks can't tell that I am heairing impaired, as I do well with lip reading and such. But it definitely still causes me to ask people to repeat themselves more than an average hearing person would need to.
Anyway, just thought I'd share.
New #CTI about Sliver malware distribution. Threat actor leverages vulnerable device drivers.
Ok, so.
Tweets look really good when you send them in Messages on iOS/macOS. Mastodon posts… don’t. So I built a little tool that makes them much nicer to look at:
Add ?to={any Mastodon post URL} to the end of that domain and when you send it to a friend, you get the nice looking preview. Of course the page makes it easy to paste a URL in. And there’s a Shortcut to make it even easier on iOS or macOS.
If you are annoyed by the max width property set on the panes of the #Mastodon interface, I've created a #tweak with a little bit of JavaScript that removes the max width property, which I inject into the page on-load using the #Greasemonkey extension in #Firefox. Just wanted to share the script in case anyone else is also annoyed by this.
