It was a special privilege to speak on Ethereum’s first-ever livestream with Vitalik @buterin (co-creator of #Ethereum), sci-fi author Ada Palmer, and crypto expert/moderator Michelle Lai. We talked about #privacy, power, and how everyday technologies can quietly outgrow their original intent -- sometimes becoming tools of mass surveillance.

Pretty painful use of “hacked” in this Forbes article on the #Epstein files. Sloppy redactions ≠ hacking.
Trust is the real issue: how much can (or should) we rely on unofficial online archives? Some distributions have been found laced with malware, and integrity is unknowable.
Lesson for any data dump: authenticate before you trust. Caveat lector.

I know this is dorky, but it’s been a really exciting 48 hours in #crypto ! Pretty sure me and Monkey (our cat) had the same expression this morning in the kitchen, except he was watching hermit crabs, and I was watching live #bitcoin price fluctuations…
I’m super excited to watch @tompohl’s new “weaponar” on printer hacking! Watch him show 3 ways that his red team goes from zero to full network takeover, all starting with your printer. Our pentest team does this regularly on real-world tests-- is your printer vulnerable?

Sorry everybody … I broke Chat GPT
Freedom and security go hand-in-hand. On this day each year, my children and I watch MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech. All great accomplishments start with great vision— that is the first step. We aren’t done, but we’ve come a long way. https://youtu.be/smEqnnklfYs

Hackers are leveraging ChatGPT, an #AI chatbot, to write #malware. Researchers have spotted threat actors on the dark web sharing code for AI-generated malware strains that steal files, install covert backdoors, or encrypt files.

Attackers Are Already Exploiting ChatGPT to Write Malicious Code

The AI-based chatbot is allowing bad actors with absolutely no coding experience to develop malware.

TIL there's a technical name for why ideas happen in the shower: the "default mode network" is a pattern of brain activity, measurable using fMRI, that happens when we're unfocussed. When the brain goes into idle mode (reduced activity), this part of the brain actually becomes *more* active. What does the default mode network do? Research is ongoing, but part of it definitely seems to be making connections, which is associated with curiosity and creativity.

The science of why you have great ideas in the shower

It has nothing to do with getting clean—and everything to do with your state of mind.

Too often security teams feel that we're not only fighting threat actors but are also at odds with our colleagues. It doesn't need to be this way: https://zeltser.com/cybersecurity-vs-everyone/
