Contract cut.
Shocked EVERYONE.
One week before my birthday, no less.
Need a job NOW. Remote desperately needed, I know but it is for health reasons. (Also in the DC Metro region where a five mile commute takes 90min at best.)
Like. NOW.
Currently a pentester/red team, edging to purple. Prior exp in aerospace. Up for switching to blue team, interested in DFIR and Threat Hunting.
Or switching fields entirely.
In 1994, Ukraine surrendered the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal for security promises that failed when Russia invaded.
The consequences are reshaping global security worldwide, with more nations questioning disarmament as nuclear arsenals only grow.

Adding this post under the thread.
It's quite facinating to read through the public consultation documents related to the partial revision of the surveillance law in Switzerland. Some recurring points: - privacy improvements of the 5G infra are a real pain in the butt for LEA, for example to ID a subscriber with an IMSI-catcher (lol) - all service providers fear increased costs (additionnal infrastructure, increased personnel and on-call-duty - esp. during the night/weekends, quicker/shorter handling times) - all service providers complain they are not compensented adequately for their costs - authorities think they pay too much for requests they consider not to be technically complex - fears of unlawfull extension of the surveillance scope - which is defined in a different law and therefore should not be touched by this proposal - by including destination IP and port - some service providers (Proton, Threema) fear for their business model, because they would be required to ID their users - critic of the implied data retention needed for retrospective analysis, esp. regarding costs and privacy risks Took part in the discussions: - all cantons - some political parties - representents of economic circles - representents of LEA - service providers - representent of society (CCC-CH, among others) source: https://www.newsd.admin.ch/newsd/message/attachments/84132.pdf #surveillance #switzerland #law #update
