Geek and techie for 25+ years working in NFP/NGO's. Not so much time to tinker and experiment these days with personal projects but my passions now lie with #cybersecurity #threatintel.

I long for the days of a simpler web without interference from META, X etc.., I cut my teeth on IRC and self built website world of the 90's constantly breaking and fixing things and making friends around the world.

Outside of Tech I love #hiking #walking #dogs #gardening #cooking #livemusic and live #comedy when I've got a chance.

This week, AWS rolled out namespaces for new S3 buckets - finally.

This is why offensive security research is so important - to move the needle.

8 Million Requests Later, We Made The SolarWinds Supply Chain Attack Look Amateur

Surprise surprise, we've done it again. We've demonstrated an ability to compromise significantly sensitive networks, including governments, militaries, space agencies, cyber security companies, supply chains, software development systems and environments, and more. “Ugh, won’t they just stick to creating poor-quality memes?” we hear you moan. Maybe we should, maybe

NEW: A new campaign to make social media companies' algorithmic feeds opt-in (instead of default) has caught attention of senior Albanese government members

I spoke with founder Chanel Contos about why she's gone from campaigning on consent education to tech policy.

@decryption yeah all down to risk appetite, my old man did his earlier than I expected based on high PSA I don’t think he had a biopsy, I can’t recall if it was cancerous when they removed was a long while ago now. He has minor incontinence.

@decryption incontinence, and the potential need for incontinence products as a result of prostate removal varies from individual to individual.
