Tarah WheelerI'm going to prove a point and you're going to help me.
If you're a member of the information security and/or cybersecurity profession, and you have clicked on a phish in the last, say, five years, share this post. If you have not, star this post.
Someone's trying to say that you can punish people out of clicking on scam links and I say that not only can you NOT prevent phishing by punishing people, but the most skilled #infosec and #cybersecurity people in the world can and do get phished as well.

Me: yeah, we don’t know how long it will take, or how much it will cost, tbh we don’t really know what we’re going to make. We need to figure that out. Get a feel for the people and the problem, make some stuff that seems useful and see how it goes.
Them: What kind of hippie bullshit is this???
Me: You should’ve seen the crap we made when we thought we knew what we were doing…
Them: Who would go along with this nonsense?
Me: … the people who had to deal with what we made before…?
Them: What part of this even partially resembles Engineering???
Me: so… the thing… that we’ll figure out is the thing we should make?
Them: yeah?
Me: Well, we’ll do that… But At Scale!
Them: what on earth does that even mean??? Gimme my money back!!!

Bluetooth successfully added to my skateboard :-)
VESC tool makes it easy to lock Bluetooth access a list of devices already paired, which is imperfect security but better than most out of the box units offer (which is none at all).
