Canada bans Tiktok on government-owned devices - I am more surprised it was ever allowed - especially given the article indicates they have mobile device management already in place. lnkd.in/gymeHs7N

Still shocks me how many companies don’t know, and don’t care about firmware compromises, which are insidious in the extreme. Do we really think nation state attackers are really limiting themselves to powershell scripts? lnkd.in/ggyRnVmD

This is how to make a very negative experience slightly better. Kudos to Hubspot/Salesforce (5months), Google, Meta (4months), Twitter (3months), Amazon (2+months) and the many other companies who treated their RIF'd employees with respect and humanity. I…lnkd.in/gbrabEsH
