Today is L0pht Day. In 1998 7 hackers in suits told the US Senate the internet was a house of cards. We said we could take it down in 30 minutes. They looked at us like we'd landed from another planet.

28 yrs later, the gap between what the security community knows and what decision-makers act on remains a fundamental problem.

Miss you, Peter Neumann. He testified that day too, with decades of hard-earned wisdom. We owe him.

The work isn't done. It never was.

LOVE this article from my man @zackwhittaker:

“Age verification laws are a lazy way for politicians and governments to appear as if they are tackling online child safety, but without any forethought to the future consequences of amassing vast banks of personal information for verifying people's identities. Rather than holding the ultra-wealthy tech and social media giants accountable for their actions, cowardly and toothless governments are instead requiring ordinary people to shoulder the legal burden. These are the same tech companies that don't pay any tax, all the while governments let them get away with it.”

After Monday Houston’s weather will turn to a much wetter pattern that is likely to persist for at least a week, maybe longer. We’re holding off issuing a Stage 1 flood alert - for now.
