Meet the people hunting the threats you're reading about. From @Proofpoint on Russian espionage to Ukraine's Security Service on 16,000+ defended attacks.

AI is disrupting bug bounties.
Security talent is being squeezed.
The rules are changing.
At #CyberThreat2025, Katie Moussouris explains what comes next — and how we prevent AI from eroding the expertise cybersecurity depends on.

Last week at SANS London, the #UKCyberTeam took on a high-impact training day led by @xzer0f.
Teams built real cloud services, then defended another team’s environment using only handover docs.
A true test of teamwork, clarity, and pressure.

After getting fired from ungrateful AWS after outage where my job was to vibecode all the DNS entries to IPv6, happy to announce it's my 1st day at Azure
Azure recognizes the value of vibecoding IPv6 DNS and I just force pushed my first 1m entries
Now off to grab some coffee

A Certificate Authority has mis-issued a bunch of certificates and is refusing to revoke them, breaching the CABF Baseline Requirements. I hear you think “what’s new Scott?”, but, here are the reasons provided by the CA on why they won’t revoke the certificates:

Yesterday, I set out in my car for Round 3 of #EdsMagicalMysteryTour - this time, a trip through the North-land. I’m doing four week-long trips around the world in 2024 to visit each @CounterHackSec team member in their hometown. We hang out, go to their favorite restaurant, and, if they want, see their home office and meet the fam. I drove up to Maine yesterday, and will work my way back to New Jersey through 4 team members towns this week. Such fun!
