30 years and billions of malware infections later, Microsoft have decided to do the bare minimum https://twitter.com/gossithedog/status/1490739024922910722 …

The forecast said 7 - 9ft waves, but I’m over 6ft and some of the waves are more than twice as big as me. I was just sat there wishing the math checked out while a 15ft wall of water rolls towards me.

Non-technical users: *logging into bank account on public wifi* Mildly technical users: “public wifi is dangerous, use a VPN!” Very technical users: *logging into bank account on public wifi*https://twitter.com/boblord/status/1489632249695772672 …

I really hate the term humble brag. It's mostly just a vehicle for projection. Someone makes a candid post, then people reading it are like "if I was in this situation I'd be trying to come up with obscure ways to shove it in everyone's face, so that's what the OP must be doing"

I’d be like 50% more open to the idea of NFTs if all the popular ones weren’t ugly. It’s basically the digital equivalent of the tasteless billionaire home decor.

Microsoft Bug bounty: “would you like to sell your bug to the government for $1m or give it to Microsoft for less than minimum wage” Web3 Bug bounty: “would you like to report the bug in return for the content of this mystery box or steal literally all the money we have”

I thought tracking ransomware actors was disheartening, but imagine getting payed to work in smart contract security and watching the some hacker just walk off with $350m in ETH.

Mostly I use the risk management expertise I gained in cybersecurity to do dumb shit more efficiently

For non-tech people, analyzing Java in an x86 disassembler is like claiming to be professional pianist while trying to play a calculus textbook you mistook for sheet music.

Someone pointed out in his screenshot he was trying to reverse an Android app (Java bytecode) in an x86 disassembler. His response was that he has a disability where his eyes rotate letters 30 degrees and the only way to deal with it is by deliberately using the wrong tools

Jonathandata has been thoroughly debunked on Twitter, but there's little about his antics outside the platform and journalists keep falling for them. I considered doing a blog post about his ongoing fraud, but it's so painful to commit that kind of time to debunking a glue eater.

“How am I supposed to live laugh love in these conditions” - Me realizing i don’t have red pepper flakes to put on my avocado toast

Since people keep asking why not paypal/venmo/cashapp. The purchase exceeded the limit of those services and also my bank wire transfer cap. Options where: travel 3k miles to local bank branch and do the transfer in person, or have friend with high credit limit front the payment

Me: “cybersecurity is very important! Don’t share passwords! Keep your bank info safe!” Also me: *texting my gmail password and 2FA code to an infosec friend so they can add their bank details to my account and split a purchase*

Some career advice I learned by accident is never discount small companies. Everyone in tech starts out wanting to work for some big name, but there are plenty of small companies that can easily match FAANG salaries and also give you the flexibility & freedom big tech can’t.
