@somethingsummit @Fuckinyouredad @jtoddadams @MarkoBravos @HillaryClinton Alternatively, I’m working during the day and they still have to go through my living room to reach me. So I still have time…

@somethingsummit @Fuckinyouredad @jtoddadams @MarkoBravos @HillaryClinton I don’t even know what point that was meant to make, why would they already have eyes on me? Someone kicks in my front door, I have time while they make their way through my living room, kitchen and bedroom door.

No one actually needs an AR-15.

@offsectraining Always have to be working toward something. I realized lately my hobbies feel like jobs, I do them for the end goal, not for the enjoyment.

What habit, behavior, or mindset have you had to unlearn?

@ElsaWainblum I just finished “This is how they tell me the world ends”, 10/10 I recommend it!

Which cyber books would you recommend me ? 📚

@SATXHackers @SATXHackers Just recently found the group but noticed the website hasn’t been updated in a while. Is there a new one? Or are things primarily disseminated through social media? Just looking for the best ways to stay tuned!

We’re happy to announce we’re having our first in person meeting since the pandemic! Join us tonight at 18:30 at top golf on the North Side. Hope to see you there! Check out our discord events channel for more info!

@JackRhysider I read this headline at first as “shouldn’t blog” and went “Good, I didn’t want to anyways!” but now that I watched it… Pretty sure I’m going to start!

Talk I did a talk for KringleCon. Reasons why you should be blogging your tech journey. youtube.com/watch?v=NKHF5V…

@vmiss33 Not sure about guests, but I’d certainly be a listener!

If I started a podcast on recovering from disasters (such as ransomware) in the IT world, would I have any guests?

@stokfredrik SteamVR is really a game changer! There’s a few solid titles in the Oculus store, but I think PCVR will always reign supreme!

Oof.. i thought the quest 2 itself was ok, but not amazing, beat saber was fun for a while, apps felt kinda meh, fun, but meh, then I linked it to my pc and ran Half Life Alyx on ultra everything and now my mind is blown.. I get it now! I mean.. Wow…

@stokfredrik Not Quest 2 specific, but Steam VR and then “Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades”

Must haves for quest2 ?

@hackthebox_eu Is it possible to still register for the HTB-Exhibition CTF? Over a month left and I'd love to take a shot at it.

@wgtgolf Of course I download it for the first time during the maintenance period, lol, oh well. Looking forward to playing!

Heads up that WGT will be down for updates beginning at 10:00 PM PT. Estimated downtime is about 3 hours, but we'll get you back to your game ASAP. Be sure to check in after to see what's new!

@TheCybergoof @TimMedin There used to be more. USED TO... *dun dun dunnnnnn*

@TimMedin If you are the only Tim Medin, there has to be a story there

Some dude is all panties in a bundle because I didn’t use “basic OPSEC principles” during a presentation and revealed my city. Look, if you can’t figure out the street address of the only Tim Medin on the planet, you need another gig.

@itstechdesk Is this outage planned for all weekend?

Murphy Online and Banner-related systems will be unavailable during a planned outage this weekend. Monitor the ITS website for more details.

WTF

@theWhiteHatHCKR @sectest9 We just launched an initiative to build our own user risk rating system because the third party tool we had previously flopped hard... So that outta be cool. #insiderthreat

A new month awaits us! What will you be doing to strengthen your security this month? #cybersecurity #cybersec #cyberattacks

@EncryptedEmu @Scott_Helme And would that smartest person get duped 4 times in a year? I would highly doubt it. We aren't talking about termination of a first time clicker, these users have a track record of failures.

@JacobTAstar @Scott_Helme Given the right mix of stress and time crunch even the smartest person who cares a lot could get duped.

This is a terrible idea.

@EncryptedEmu @Scott_Helme But when a user has had multiple training sessions in a given time frame, how much more training can really be had? Perhaps 2FA for everyone is the answer, but what the entails for 80k users, I'm not sure entirely.

@JacobTAstar @Scott_Helme I don’t think it’s fair to assign the motive of not caring at that point. How stressful is the work environment? Are people under a lot of pressure to move quickly? Is there a rigidity in hierarchy where an employee lower down the totem pole would be scared to ask questions?

@EncryptedEmu @Scott_Helme I'd say the policy discussions are far from over and even after policy is set, I'm sure as a user reaches the higher benchmarks, even more talking is going to happen.

@Scott_Helme I feel like after a point, it's not about educating a user that's struggling, it's about rooting out a user that doesn't care.

@Scott_Helme We're ultimately trying to avoid firing tho by also creating substantial training that starts with the phishing link returning a landing page explaining the risk and ends with face to face(or webinar) training where the team can interact directly with the user failing.
