@mubix @andrewsmhay @anton_chuvakin @kuzushi 2 of 3, had 3/3 the job before this so temporary win

@AmazonV @andrewsmhay @anton_chuvakin @kuzushi Now I'm curious @AmazonV ever get that dream job? And @anton_chuvakin that link just goes to Forta's demo page now :(

This is from a video where I found that Twitter failed to kill a session on logout in 2010, probably didn't know the severity of what I found... anyways @AmazonV @andrewsmhay @anton_chuvakin @kuzushi remember when you could add your own profile backgrounds?

@mubix @andrewsmhay @anton_chuvakin @kuzushi The Myspace era!

Offensive testing when done right helps improve defense... and in this case? literally the lives of people who are near these industrial systems. Your job matters. Treat it as the responsibility it is. But also enjoy the moment of controlling robo-death arm. fin

Anyone have anonymous stories about foreign fake employee WfH/VPN fraud and how it was detected?

@tarah We tell people not to click shit, then we seat them in front of a magic shit-clicking box and assign tasks that can't be completed without clicking shit. Then we wonder why these gullible idiots click shit and why they think we're unreasonable.

“After 11 years and over 100 million devices sold, we're ending production of Chromecast, which will now only be available while supplies last.” What a strong start!!! blog.google/products/googl…

Respectfully, @CrowdStrike, this is BS and you know it. Spend those legal dollars on something like canary deployments and leave Whitney alone.

IT staff who fix the user's laptop with a command prompt

All I've been able to think about the last 18hrs with the Crowdstrike mess is how many absolutely heroic technical support workers had to walk normies through getting into Safe Mode (a feat by itself) then finding the C-00000291.sys file only for those same normies to say, in the exact tone they do when they've typed their password wrong and insist they didn't even though the computer is saying they did and then they accuse it of lying, that the file just isn't there. Because they typed that wrong, too. 😳 Can you imagine the sheer willpower it took all of those workers not to just pack it up right then and there? We can talk failures two weeks from now. Let's honor these successes right now. Because these workers have God-tier armor right now. That they made themselves over the course of many close calls, late nights, and ultimately, time away from those they love so they could keep us running.

@MsMaggieMayhem eek!

That’s a little more than your average amount of subway steam right by Montgomery BART.

@MsMaggieMayhem that would be why we likely couldnt find the prices it's booked *cry* maybe next year

@AmazonV It is listed at a cheaper rate ($499.99) just after DefCon though.

I wonder who will be staying at the Westgate “Halloween Suite” during DefCon westgateresorts.com/hotels/nevada/…

@MsMaggieMayhem (@ihackedwhat found it the day after they announced the LVCC move or maybe same day)

@MsMaggieMayhem we want to but can't get a price
