Right.. the time has come to suspend my postings here on this toxic platform. I am on Bluesky as figjam.sogeek.org
It has been fun but I am calling this bit quits.

Our next speaker announcement is for someone well known to those who frequent @Hack_Thursday!
@idcyberuk's @fignjam will explore the question of whether the boom in AI can make security easier or much harder.

Love this quote:
"Anger is the punishment you give yourself for someone else's mistake"
(Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar)
Why get upset for someone else's mistakes?
@Broadcom why won't you allow pasting in the password field when registering an account? I am not going to type my 120 character random password twice. Please make this work with password managers
OK how is my password not valid?

When I’m interviewed, I am often asked about the dangers of AI. This ad I just came across is, in my opinion, a perfect example of what’s truly dangerous about AI.
We are entering an era where AI is not just a tool but is marketed as an emotional companion, which blurs the line between human interaction and artificial interactions. I would love to hear the opinions of psychologists and psychiatrists on this topic. But from my perspective, relying on AI to find emotional company feels like a slippery slope. Are we sacrificing genuine human connections for simulated empathy? Is this healthy? Let’s start a conversation about the impact of these technologies on mental health.
Please comment only if you are human :)

I think I am going to go to jail.. I own loads of these.. but what if they are for educational purposes? (Which they are).

Awesome quote from @jaysonstreet “Stop talking about low hanging fruit! Get the fruit off the ground, you’re not ready for the tree!” Jayson packed the house in here! #hackerfamily #weloveyouback 💜💜💜💜
The meme sticker has made it to #BlackHat2024 ! You say one thing and you get memed.. That’s a good question asked though! Also our Cybear!
Ooh boot failure alert for next year. Book overtime now 😂😇
Attention IT Pros! The Microsoft UEFI CA, which SecureBoot relies on, will expire on Monday October 19, 2026, after 15 years of validity. Mark this date in your calendar. Devices require a Firmware/DB update; otherwise, stop booting. 🔒#WindowsSecurity

An observation.
Anyone seen the behaviour where you download the EICAR signature and Defender is not alerting on download?
This may be recent behaviour since the beginning of this week.
*I am not going to speculate on possible causes with certain outages..*
