Strong letter from @RonWyden about Microsoft security failures that enabled SolarWinds hack and recent Storm-0558 campaign. He calls on @CISAgov, @FTC and @TheJusticeDept to investigate company and hold it "responsible for its negligence." https://t.co/AY4ImksoBV pic.twitter.com/mpv2pFiEOQ

Very misleading bulletin:
1. ZenBleed is not a side channel.
2. End users rely on the OS for sandboxing.
3. It is not even clear what "side channels" are. https://t.co/AFCNbYpWsf

I’m glad our silly Federal laws provide a strong incentive for people to keep large amounts of privacy-preserving cash in circulation. https://t.co/47Kvil1ogd

Fascinating world of ancient #glass: #Roman bird-shaped vessels were used as perfume bottles. The liquid was sealed inside the vessels and the tip of the tail had to be broken to remove the perfume. This one is still intact and filled with the scented content!

My husband and I called my sweet, 85-year-old grandma to tell her I got a new job.

She congratulated us, talked for a bit, and then hung up.

Later she called me to say I should open a secret bank account and never tell my husband about it.

My grandma is fierce.

I’ve just released some research into 38 SaaS-native attack techniques across the kill chain and produced a SaaS attack matrix to go along with it.https://t.co/1bbkpI5IlC

This is just the beginning but my hope is this will become an ongoing community project.

P4wnP1 by @mame82 for the @raspberrypi Zero W is awesome, but needing a USB stem or cable makes for a clunky package. @RoganDawes found out that you can install Linux ON an LTE modem. It's the perfect platform for long or short distance P4wnP1 shenanigans! https://t.co/54oqx3ZYdH pic.twitter.com/EnGVnYzGty

Fact: Metabase doesn't release the fixed code in their "oPen-SouRce" repository https://t.co/HMgjfSMh6q

OMG. Seymour Hersh’s handler really messed up.

The “anonymous US official” supposed to be briefing Hersh used a russian expression (мальчик в трусиках) that English speakers don’t use. 😂 pic.twitter.com/iwq4c2ZVzN
