    ...and so, I suspect that simply being born in the 70s or 80s, and picking up some interest in infosec in the 90s, was a far better predictor of success

    Either way, like many of my colleagues from that era, I went on to do many of the same things as the people listed in the article. The company was one of a handful of reputable infosec workplaces back in the day, but I don't think it a magical gateway to success.

    As to "why": don't know. They were a consulting company, I was a young Polish guy on on a visa. Maybe I said something stupid in the interviews. Maybe they didn't want a guy who had a strong accent and couldn't get a clearance.

    Worthwhile read. The company was an important nexus of the infosec industry at the time. But also take it with a grain of salt: some of the connections and claims feel a bit tenuous:

    I'd strongly encourage folks to read the real thing. The legal decisions and the surrounding political commentary are not going to change anyone's mind, but the now largely public operational details should be very interesting to the folks in our industry.

    Not here for the politics (yeah right), but the first 50 pages of the Mueller report contain a really nice treasure trove of details about the compromise, data exfil, and comms tactics of a state-sponsored adversary.

    Solving it requires finesse that regulators usually lack. But you know: I am fairly tranquil about my "cyber" risk. I am far more unsettled about the privacy practices in the industry - in part because they remain shielded from view and have not been properly "priced in". (5/5)
