  1. @toddheberlein @tigercat6795 @mandiant it's in Redwood City. At some point when I'm visiting it I would be happy to host you.
  2. Refusing to halt Facebook trades reminds me of asset owners refusing to implement short term incident containment for a compromised system.
  3. "Why didn't you just halt the stock?" This reads like an incident response gone bad. Need to extract lessons for blog. finance.yahoo.com/news/insight-m…
  4. Finally you might want to read @Mandiant M-Trend reports showing our client categories. They list targeted threat victims and tech types.
  5. I mentioned the Chinese five year plans as sources for their statements on targeted tech. Wikipedia has summary, links. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-year…
  6. Next is the US China commission reports; recommend starting with the most recent Annual report to Congress. uscc.gov
  7. Note how DSS only talks "regions" doing "collection," e.g., "east Asia & the Pacific" is code for China, cited as worst offender (surprise).
  8. Next is Defense Security Service report "Targeting U.S. Technologies: A Trend Analysis Reporting from Defense Industry" dss.mil/isp/count_inte…
  9. First is the site hosting the NCIX reports describing Chinese and Russian digital espionage. Read 2011 edition first. ncix.gov/publications/r…
  10. At the @forrester panel today I promised @rickhholland and @Kindervag I would provide links to the sources I mentioned, so I'll do that.
  11. Devils power play goal where all five players passed the puck was one of the most amazing sequences I've ever seen in hockey. #NHL
  12. @rickhholland thanks Rick and @kindervag for inviting me to speak on your panel. Nice to see @Mandiant colleagues too.
  13. I'm not trading Facebook but I found the math in this article to be interesting. $13.80 is "fair?" We'll see. marketwatch.com/story/facebook…
  14. @remor @Bro_IDS People, you need to watch Seth's talk just to see the new playoff beard he's rocking. I'm jealous!!
  15. Anyone use @blogshares ? I found my account recently and remembered my blog was listed blogshares.com/blogs.php?blog… What to do now?
  16. @explanoit I wrote a post using that title taosecurity.blogspot.com/2009/07/you-do… in 2009 when I realized high profile sec people weren't aware of the issue.
  17. @tigercat6795 Welcome aboard the @mandiant team! Nice to see you this week. Looking forward to seeing you run our new SOC in California.
