Ross Anderson cared deeply about the human outcomes of security & policy. He did not focus his brilliance on amassing tech wealth but instead on the hardest challenges, using nuanced technical insights in fighting to protect the vulnerable.
What a terrible loss for us all. 🫂❤️🩹

Has your department sent out interview invites for faculty candidates yet?
I know many great candidates who've gotten few-to-no bites, but a lot of places seem to be hiring. I'm wondering if it's a winner-take-all situation, or if we're collectively late this year (HCII is!)

This week ChangSeok presented our @acm_ccs paper exploring a serious third-party ad network privacy problem. Attackers knowing only your email address can confuse some networks into delivering your targeted ad stream to them, leaking info such as travel and housing searches. 1/2

Which ward will you live in under the ward map compromise expected to be approved next week?
(If you live along Grand Avenue, you may be in the new 36th ward, which looks like a slender seahorse)
Thanks to @kaytwo , we've got you covered!

Great mention of data minimization and good data retention/deletion practices. GET RID OF data you don't actively need. The less data you hold, the less data that you can leak or that can be breached.

This was driving me nuts the past couple days. And it’s just one of the small ways ward remapping can be opaque to Chicagoans.
Anyway it was really fun talking to @kaytwo about what an alternative could be. cc @chicagoswards @CHANGEIL bit.ly/2W1GDxx

This seems so basic ... but I guess it is CS. Reminder that when you doubt survivors:
1) You’re doubting people who had nothing to gain, and everything to lose, by coming forward.
2) Everyone who might have reported to you in the future learned that they shouldn’t trust you.

Something I tell students learning about cybersecurity in 2021 is to always figure out how any crime or business conflict comes down to money. The vast majority of challenges we face in infosec come down to dollars and cents at the root, and it can help you understand motivation.

There's a lot of discussion now of human subjects in Computer Science / security research, the role of the IRB, and ethics

When I was a PhD student, a professor told me:
"There are only three papers worth writing on a given topic: the first paper, the best paper, and the last paper."
It's obv a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I've often used the underlying heuristic to aid in choosing research directions.
