Infosec guy. I'm just here for the memes. Midwest is best. All opinions are mine, etc, etc.
If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

Phenomenal reporting from ProPublica. Big takeaways:

  • FedRAMP is too understaffed to be effective.
  • Microsoft never answered serious questions about its cloud security architecture.
  • Despite a damning report, Microsoft's government cloud product was approved anyway.

Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

Stryker have a liveblog of their security incident, linked from the front page of their website:

tl;dr is most customer systems aren't impacted as they run on Linux, but their corporate Windows systems are toast so please hold the line.

Fashion and leather hardware collide: I've been seeking this tiny Chicago screw for an Italian belt for a while now, and Moschino's repair services in London and Milan have both come up short. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful.

Is it time for allow-listing extensions on VSCode? I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from devs at the notion, but this ecosystem is radioactive.

Every IT department needs one mf who knows how Windows works, one mf who knows how Linux works, one mf who knows how networks work, and one mf who knows how the other three mf have screwed it all up because they take the calls.
