Proud to have Google on the board as the main sponsor of unprompted.au for 2026. Backing two days of sharp minds, deep technical work and the conversations happening at the edge of AI + Cybersecurity.
One of the things I look for in privacy-preserving companies and services: strongly pro-privacy executives leaving and being replaced by people without a reputation for caring about privacy.
I am so heartbroken for Dylan and Johanna. They are going through the worst nightmare imaginable. They are two of the most loving people I know. If you can support them, please do. Let them feel the love and support of their community. Everything helps. gofund.me/8e042f666
Its painful to write this sad note. My close friends Dylan & Jo have lost their child, Caspian. Some may know Dylan from the hacker community as a member of cDc. The family is facing significant medical & funeral costs. A GoFundMe has been set up to help. Every donation or share

Lock note: conclusions and key takeaways from Blackhat USA 2024 #BlackHatUSA2024 @nathanhamiel @Ellen_CK @window @thedarktangent
Timewarp to 2010, when George was CTO of McAfee, not CEO of Crowdstrike. Old security architectures, old problems zdnet.com/article/defect…
1/The global IT outage caused by a failed Crowdstrike software update can apparently be fixed by booting Windows into Safe Mode and deleting a file. This means millions of Windows machines need to be booted and fixed by hand.
Hah. My old bug is back :). Nice find guys!
The award-winning Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU) has discovered a critical vulnerability in OpenSSH, designated CVE-2024-6387 and aptly named "regreSSHion." This Remote Code Execution bug grants full root access, posing a significant exploitation risk. blog.qualys.com/vulnerabilitie…
