InfoSec Director for non-profits (Nation State threats, non-profit budgets!) I talk mostly about Cybersecurity and Tech but occasionally cats (got my handle from one of them), urbanism, transportation politics and woodworking. My tweets are my own.
I’ve been seeing this Captcha style attack a lot in the non-profit space. Be careful out there!

We are literally drowning and need help!

The worst #flooding our area has seen in 60 years submerged our #CatShelter. Keeping the #cats safe was a huge challenge, and the shelter suffered significant damage.

Please watch and share the video or help us directly: www.vietnamcatwelfare.org/support/

While sports betting is a real concern, what really concerns me is betting on election outcomes on polymarket, and the feedback loop those prediction markets create.
Yesterday's sports gambling bombshell isn't an outlier. Actually, it's alarmingly normal. Gambling scandals are the new American pastime. But there is an easy way to head off the next crisis: Take prop bets off the board. My piece for the @theatlantic.com

Prop Bets Must Die
As long as one player can fix the outcome of a wager, the temptation will prove irresistible to some athletes.

With so much depressing news in the world, here is your small moment of joy. Francine, the local Lowe’s #cat, got on an inter-state delivery truck and was transported across state lines and was lost. 1/4

The biggest barrier to the widespread adoption of renewables, is the fact that the richest, least intelligent, most self-important, fashiest 50 dudes in the US, wasted the low interest rates of the 2010s investing in monkey jpegs instead of solar cells and battery production.🤡

Now they fear China.
"Solar energy is anticipated to be the world’s main source of energy by 2050" hell yeah

24,576 pounds of cheddar cheese to Food Bank for the Heartland in Nebraska;

270,000 eggs to Harvest Hope Food Bank in South Carolina;

4,640 pounds of chicken legs to Maui Food Bank in Hawaii

--> just some of the food aid canceled by Trump

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived.
ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

I swear I was looking at a report/dahboard a few days ago that showed mobile device platform and OS version based on #MicrosoftAuthenticator (I was using it to evaluate passkey readiness, but sure if that was the purpose) and now I can’t find it for the life of me. Am I crazy or does this exist?!?

So many things wrong with this.

1. What Julia said.
2. This exists already. (Using an LLM to return answers based solely on specific data)
3. If he wanted to *train* an LLM solely on his data the dataset would be too small to be useful.
this exists it is called thinking

Does anyone have a #PowerBi dashboard they like for #DefenderXDR TVM reporting? I found a couple of options online and there’s one from Microsoft, but it was last updated 6+ years ago Does that mean it’s perfection, or horribly broken? 😅

Is it true that to maintain local endpoint device sign-in logs in Sentinel, you need Intune Advanced Analytics?!? Copilot is telling me I need that or Arc/AMA and that seems like a pretty important security log to put behind an add-on license.

And the way he’s going to earn that money is by using his connections to lower federal safety standards to push a substandard “self driving” tech on to the streets that kills people. But he’ll be rich so it’s ok.
Any company offering a $1T pay package to their CEO is not a serious company and their board should be summarily fired, ridiculed, and banned from a boardroom or corporate officer position in perpetuity. Looking at you, Tesla.

Setting up a person with a security key moving them over from SMS (flip phone). When we add a new authentication method though MySign-ins and choose Security Key, it then prompts us to set up Microsoft Authenticator! Is this a setting issue or bug?

The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat.

Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

It's laziness. They are outsourcing authentication security to your email provider, rather than building it themselves.

If you use Sentinel, this one is for you :)

This uses a NRT rule to detect Conditional Access changes and ensures an emergency access group is excluded from the policy 😎

Working on blog posts now, rough directions and NRT rule setup in the repo:

That financial institutions as big as Mass Mutual want me to send confidential legal documents via mail(slow), fax (?!?), or email (insecure) is crazy. Have financial enterprises never heard of secure file upload systems? Or even sending me an encrypted email that I can respond to would be better.
