I loved reading this article of 3 teenagers' descent into criminal hacking, their arrests, and later finding redemption. @a_greenberg is so good at telling stories, backed by deeply-researched reporting.

I spent this year talking to the 3 young hackers behind Mirai, the malware that once broke the internet. This is WIRED's resulting cover story—an epic, untold, 22,000-word tale of cybercrime, friendship, chaos, betrayal, paranoia, and redemption. Read: wired.com/story/mirai-un…

Lockheed Martin is not very specific in addressing these points, but it's a start. I'm curious to see if other companies are more detailed in their cybersecurity disclosures.

This includes: "Whether and which management positions [e.g., the CISO] or committees are responsible for assessing and managing such risks, and the relevant expertise of such persons or members in such detail as necessary to fully describe the nature of the expertise."

Lockheed Martin today appears to be the first to comply with the SEC's cybersecurity rules in its annual report. The new item 1C on cybersecurity is surprisingly extensive: #i4dd86b83b2af4001a0e0d2126a63bade_1549" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archiv…

I wrote an article with @mlowrycpa for The Wall Street Journal about how CISOs can gain influence in their organizations: wsj.com/articles/infor… I’ll be talking about this research with @iMeluny and @DiscernibleInc this Friday, 12/8 at 3pm ET. Join us!

This is what “responsible departure” of a CISO looks like. Twitter must soon submit a compliance report to the FTC about its security/privacy practices. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

I've made the hard decision to leave Twitter. I've had the opportunity to work with amazing people and I'm so proud of the privacy, security, and IT teams and the work we've done. I'm looking forward to figuring out what's next, starting with my reviews for @USENIXSecurity 😁

Agreed, though I do have questions about why the feds decided to go after Joe Sullivan alone. Seems to me there could have been at least three potential defendants, but Sullivan was the only person indicted.

@anthonyvance @KimZetter but also put false info in the nondisclosure agreement w/ the hackers to cover up what actually happened. That may be an important distinction. But again, all we know is the jury believed the elements of the crime were met.

@marciahofmann @KimZetter It seems this applies to the count of obstruction, but I am unclear about the count of misprision: “having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony” [unauthorized access/extortion] “did conceal the same, and did not as soon as possible make known the same” to an authority.

@robertgraham The key issue is explained well by @lilyhnewman in her 2020 Wired article: wired.com/story/uber-exe… Essentially, Sullivan was the designated officer who gave sworn testimony and reports to the FTC before and after the 2016 hack. That’s why this case is unique.

I’m very sorry about this result. The CISO role, already one of the toughest jobs in corporations, just got harder.
