Kpop Demon Hunters has taken over the household, but the kids were not impressed to learn that back in the day I had a Kpop phase too, which we then realized is probably considered oldies now.

Couldn't connect to a server remotely so I had to go onsite which involved crossing a beach in a storm. They didn't warn me that vulnerability management might involve getting hit by waves and showing up soaked and covered in sand.

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.

I have a bit of free time, I can finally relax. OR...I can dive in and start getting into malware analysis.

I'm a former art major, turned cyber security grad. A while ago I applied for a cybersecurity role at one of my favorite animation studios. Now, one of the cybersecurity teams that I would love to join has a job posting for an animator.

"Time to lock in", I think to myself as I sit down with my laptop, ready to study. But then the notification for the VOD of Critical Role's new campaign appears and de-rails everything.

Not only does my town offer fencing lessons and mounted archery lessons, but I just learned there's a local blacksmith guild that teaches traditional and modern smithing styles! I'm going to need a second job just to be able to afford my hobbies.

CISA furlough sparks fears.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has furloughed most of its staff due to the government shutdown. The U.S. Air Force is investigating a breach impacting its SharePoint systems. Google has issued a warning about a large-scale extortion campaign targeting executives, potentially using leaked Oracle data. Android users are at risk as researchers discovered spyware disguised as popular messaging applications. An extortion group claims to have compromised Red Hat's private GitHub repositories, which Red Hat has confirmed as a security incident. A ransomware attack has affected a software provider for recreational vehicle and power sport dealers, impacting many customers. The Patchwork APT group is using a new PowerShell loader that employs scheduled tasks for persistence. A U.S. Senator is advocating for proactive preparation for a post-quantum future. Cynthia Kaiser, a former FBI official and ransomware expert, provided insights into the impact of the government shutdown. Finally, a Malaysian man has pleaded guilty to supporting a substantial cryptocurrency fraud.

Day 1 of shutdown and my plan to recover from the last 9 months of burnout has already been sabotaged by my realization that I now have time to catch up on all the online courses and projects I've been neglecting.

Since when did OSCP require renewal? I didn't realize it could expire and don't even want to think about how costly it is to maintain.

Good news: just came across a job posting for a team I'd really love to join

ICE needs to be stopped, but exposing them, and any businesses that enable/facilitate them, is a good step in the meantime.

Work: You were recommended for the AI advisory board, are you interested?
Me: No absolutely not. I hate generative AI and I think rolling this out agency wide is a terrible idea.
Work: Great, you're in.

Check in on the folks you care about. The world is on fire. Everything is sideways. And for folks who have something bolted to grab hold to it will hit differently than it will for folks whose lives already felt unbolted and unsupported.

Survival in the face of oppression is itself revolutionary.

I thought I'd hate having to wear a park ranger uniform & dodge questions from the public about animals and plants. But the look on their faces when I hit them with "I don't know anything about that, can I interest you in some MFA or network segmentation?" is always priceless.

I never realized how much I tie my identity to my job - it's kind of sad. And now facing cuts at work, I'm trying to figure out who the hell I am when I might not be able to fall back on work as my default descriptor.

I know the role exists, but until now I've never actually seen any postings for incident response/ransomware negotiator before. Pretty wild.
