I asked a software engineer once what it would cost to build this today. I will never forget his answer:

“We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”

Something that stuck with me from a previous job is the quote: “don’t underestimate things that have survived many attempts to kill them.”

Think: DNS, bash, C, TCP.

These things have survived this long for a reason. Find out the reason.

Data of 2.6 million Duolingo users have been leaked on a hacking forum. The data includes names and emails addresses. Data was scraped using an unprotected API. Users are advised to be vigilant about the emails they receive, the links they click on, and the attachments they open.

Lol doing a bit of account maintenance after the notification of the #LinkedIn hackery... already had MFA etc... and thought I'd change my password as it's been a while.

Now I can't log in with my new password so maybe they've become a little more vigilant to take overs since it's started to blow up a bit🤦‍♂️

Thanks

Hi all,
I'm new to #infosec and don't really have any colleagues/contacts in the industry.

I've been a software engineer for a long time and am about to embark on my final capstone project for my Master in Cybersecurity.

I'm sending this toot to try and find out where people turn for their news and ideas for research areas?

Thanks very much :)
