    1/4 Risky Business will be running in a trimmed-down format (news and sponsor) for at least the next couple of weeks. My little family has hit a bit of turbulence... We've had to take a trip away from home and we don't know exactly when we'll be back.

    Prediction: In a few months, the volume of spam, phishing and just about every form of cybercrime is going to increase noticeably. New privacy rules coming out of the EU are going to take away the single most useful tool available to security experts and researchers: WHOIS.

    As far as I can tell, the facts don't fit Naomi Wu's narrative. There's nothing wrong with Vice's story, and it's reprehensible that Wu doxxed the home address of the reporters over the dispute.

    It's 's big day! The company is going public and intended to pay homage to the company's Swedish roots, but flew our flag instead 🤭 It only took 15 minutes to fix this mistake, but no worries our Nordic friends are humble and we are neutral, so no tiff will ensue😉

    Thanks for all the messages everyone. The show will still run, just without feature interviews for a while.

    It's worse than that, Donald. During the selection process they make candidates carve "FAKE NEWS 4EVA" into their chests with blunt scalpels dipped in Mexico's spiciest salsa picante. Only the truly committed progress. I know this. I work in media. We talk.

    Check out the fact that you can’t get a job at ratings challenged unless you state that you are totally anti-Trump? Little Jeff Zuker, whose job is in jeopardy, is not having much fun lately. They should clean up and strengthen CNN and get back to honest reporting!

    Add to this... assume that the journalist (such as myself) knows more than they let on & in the case of a breach, also knows the answers to the question(s) they're asking. We're not coming to you out of the blue.

    Some advice about breach response to a reporter, journalist or otherwise: Don't assume the "proof of concept" is all there is. Dig deeper. Assume it's all compromised. Be humble. Don't make statements that about scope of breach that can't be supported forensically.

    3/4 If I've been poor at replying to emails, messages and calls this is why. I know you'll all understand, so thanks for being an amazing listener community. I'm happy I'm still publishing, even in a shorter format. Firing up the mic is always fun.
