The platform will survive but there are a lot of people I really enjoyed following who either no longer post here or rarely post here now because of various dogpiles that span a whole range of topics. This platform absolutely has a dogpiling problem, and the experience here is worse because of it

I do think folks really underappreciate how much dogpiles on this platform are actually just toxic behavior that has quite earnestly made the platform worse and less interesting than it would otherwise have been by now, even if it feels nice to vent in the moment

Our DEF CON33 ICS Village talk is now on YouTube!

@sam-hans0n.bsky.social and I share stories of malware we discovered while searching for ICS threats, and discuss our approach to assessing their reputation.

Don't Cry Wolf: Evidence-Based Assessment of ICS Threats

DEF CON 33 - Don’t Cry Wolf: Evidence based assessments of ICS Threats - Jimmy Wylie & Sam Hanson

CS Malware is rare. Yet, ICS Malware like FrostyGoop and TRISIS, and related discoveries like COSMICENERGY, were all found on VirusTotal, so analysts still hunt for novel ICS Malware in public malware repositories. In the process, they discover all kinds of tools: research, CTFs, obfuscated nonsense

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

In early October 2025, Microsoft disrupted a Vanilla Tempest campaign by revoking over 200 certificates that the threat actor had fraudulently signed and used in fake Teams setup files to deliver the Oyster backdoor and ultimately deploy Rhysida ransomware.

I don’t hold it against them (I understand the sentiment that you don’t want to think about “politics” 24/7) BUT, to think you don’t have to consider it or think about it at all is naive, and borderline delusional.

I see it a lot, especially on the red side. “I just wanna hack shit man.”

Yeah? For who? Who are your clients? What are their politics? Many don’t want to think about it.

Cybersecurity was always political.
You can't escape effects on defense, intelligence, and even the increasingly flooded industry job market by closing your eyes really hard and sticking your fingers in your ears. You can't escape cybersecurity being political by being, "not really into politics".
