    Writing passwords down in a book, including one marked ‘passwords’, is fine, even really good, for the vast majority of users. They have to worry about credential stuffing and password reuse, etc.

    This product seems like a bad idea but I can’t put my finger on why.

    Our colleagues Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were just sentenced to 7 years in prison by a Myanmar court for bravely doing their jobs – they uncovered a massacre. This is the story that embarrassed the Myanmar military and govt, and landed them in jail.

    We're not talking about Gulf states busting activists. We're talking about warranted access for countries that already have more robust systems of justice. That they can't access something as basic as Facebook messages swiftly is a real issue.

    "But it's a slippery slope" The Five Eyes law enforcement group is already a thing, why not restrict to that. But, tbh, countries outside of that—Germany, France, etc—should already have warranted access to this data.

    Unpopular opinion: it's totally bizarre and a serious hindrance that UK police can't get access to Facebook messages at the same/similar speed as US cops. Reasonable suspicion, valid investigation. But because non-US, it's so slow. The world is not just US

    You can't escape the political aspects of security. Chinese companies continue to lose telecom equipment contracts, and now people who might have used Google's new token are having second thoughts due to supply chain concerns.

    New: turns out Google's new hardware 2FA token is produced by a Chinese company. Several senior security experts call for more transparency on supply chain, firmware. “I should not have to wait until Black Hat next year to find answers to these questions"

    It’s shocking how much companies are paying for simulation products. Fundamentally it is pretty simple to do. Save your money. Use GoPhish. Download, run, go. Also, it’s open source and written in which is cool.
