May the 4th be with you!

Come join the fun at LABScon and submit a talk! It is hands down the most impactful conference you'll go to this year!

🚨India-Pakistan Cybertracker #1 🚨 There are at least 45 hacktivist groups that are engaging in cyber activities as a result of kinetic actions between India and Pakistan. Geopolitical flashpoints will now always trigger hacktivist activity. Of the 45 groups: 10 are aligned as pro-India and 35 are aligned as pro-Pakistan. I only included groups who had made declarations or targeted either country since April 22 2025. It is likely that more groups will join in as tensions increase, in particular I would expect to see more pro-Palestine hacktivists pivot into the conflict. Defacement and DDoS remain the most popular and prominent attack vectors. hopefully this doesn't get buried in the algorithm. #IndiaPakistanWar #IndiaPakistan #Pakistan #India #pakistanindiawar

@KimZetter Congratulations, Kim! That sounds like a great opportunity for you. Your students are lucky to have you! ❤️

I'll be teaching a 6-week graduate-level night course at Georgetown Univ in May-June called Cyber Operations. We'll look at ways nations project power in cyberspace - motives, methods, and impact - and will no doubt have a lot of new events to discuss in class as they occur

Looking forward to Day 2 of the #ctisummit ! Lots of amazing and informative talks yesterday.

@ImposeCost Sorry. I hate it when that happens. Hope you feel better soon. ❤️

@ImposeCost I'm stuck in the 80's with #3, LOL. I have a nice view out my office window, so I don't want to block the entire view, so I'll sacrifice that 3rd monitor. Maybe I'll ask Santa next year for a #2 set up.

@_John_Doyle Oh gawd, John! You've definitely been struggling. Def sending you some serious healing vibes. Hope to still see you at the end of the month, friend.

Recap of the past 72 hrs: 2 visits to the ER, admitted to the hospital twice, and passed two very jagged, painful kidney stones. Pretty sure during this process I also hit my insurance deductable for the 2025 calendar year. Is it 2026 yet?

@ImposeCost Those video clips are just amazing!

Pau Hana! 🌺

Praying for all my SoCal friends and colleagues. These fires 🔥 and the wind 💨 are not a safe combo.

@threathuntergrl You are gonna rock this new job, girl! Super proud of you! 👍

Yesterday marked the end of an incredible chapter in my career as I say goodbye to Cisco Talos after two amazing years. As bittersweet as it is to leave, I’m excited to embark on a new journey. For the first time in my career, I’ll be stepping away from the vendor side 1/2

NEW: U.S. Treasury officials says it was hacked in early December by Chinese government hackers, which gained remote access to workstations and obtained unclassified documents. We include the full letter sent by Treasury to lawmakers about the hack. techcrunch.com/2024/12/30/us-…

@DoomsdayGoth You can turn it around, my friend! Not medical advice but I have a good friend in the same boat. Ate low carb and went on Ozempic - lost weight and got her A1C numbers in the normal range. You got this!

I’m devastated by my lab results. It says I’m now diabetic and it’s my fault because I didn’t take care of myself. Hopefully I can reverse it by losing weight and cutting all sugars from my diet. I’m scared that I won’t be able to reverse this.

@ImposeCost You said it better than me!
