If Amazon, Apple, Google, & Microsoft can join forces to build an industry standard for passwordless authentication, then SIEM vendors should be able to come together to define a common log structure for security events

I completely agree. I hate password strength guidelines. In fact, I never want to create a password again.

I think password entropy is a contender for the most overrated area of computer security. I wish more effort was spent on good 2FA and brute forcing protections instead of harassing users about silly password redirections.

Privacy advocacy works! Facebook is shutting down facial recognition

My jaw dropped to the floor when I got this news. Facebook is shutting down the facial recognition system that it introduced more than 10 years ago and deleting the faceprints of 1 billion people: nytimes.com/2021/11/02/techn…

Facebook, Citing Societal Concerns, Plans to Shut Down Facial Recognition System (Published 2021)

Saying it wants “to find the right balance” with the technology, the social network will delete the face scan data of more than one billion users.

If you run anything on GCP, you really should be using VM Manager's OS Patch management. It's an opensource lean agent, and it gives you on-host scanning & patching with a growing set of detection capabs. Plus, cheap and platform feature. cloud.google.com/compute/doc…

I am shocked by how easy it is to run fake ads and scams on Facebook. The other day my news feed got filled with variations of the following ad. There seems to be a huge scam campaign going on. @Facebook do better. At least tell users who sponsored the ad.

I got this same scam on Facebook about a month ago. I reported every add. My news feed was flooded with them. Incredible that they are still out there running their campaigns. Come on, @Facebook! #trust #usersafety #scam #security

“Do not pay” is for ransomware what “do not click” is for phishing. Sounds like great advice, but falls apart in a real world model.

Going from GCP to AWS is like entering a world that, when you glance across it, looks the same, but then you look carefully and you find everything is just a bit harder, a bit dirtier, a bit less intuitive, a bit more manual.

I wish women pants had real pockets. So I don’t have to worry about my phone falling out. #Feminism #genderequality
Weight bench product descriptions always show men using them. Never women. They show bears and gorillas, but not women! 🤪
