FTR, it was a great show. The whole cast was awesome. The lounge was really cool too. It was themed to look like the Slytherin common room. I wish all shows on Broadway had something like this.

It's 2025 and I am still emailing files to myself, and I still have three laptops, and three security logins, and three yubikeys, because identity segregation and security is still a complex mess, and I am tired

Salesforce instances targeted in new 'widespread' wave of data thefts Salesloft confirmed a security incident affecting customers who integrate its Drift product with Salesforce. It's the latest wave of data thefts targeting Salesforce's instances.

I wrote some mid-week words for my newsletter (and now blog!) ~this week in security~ on Google today sounding the alarm over a new "widespread" wave of Salesforce data thefts targeting customers of Salesloft Drift.

Excited to share this with premium tier subscribers. ❀️

I'm amused. Just finished moving 11k archives (~20GB). Went to do another backup.

rsync -avzP --delete

The script did what it was asked to do... now I get to move all 11k archives a second time b/c of --delete. Lesson? You can't copy and paste your way out of everything.

Lol. None. At capacity means I can't get in either. Plus, I would trade out for a participant if I were inside. The party is for them really.

Got tickets to go see Tom Felton in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Lyric Theatre in November.

Should be a fun little pre-holiday trip.

Why I didn't go to VulnCon VulnCon 2025 is over. I didn’t go. A bunch of people have asked me why, and rather than keep my answer to a small group, I thought it would make sense to write something public about it all. The TL;DR...

I've had a bunch of people ask me why I wasn't at #VulnCon, so I wrote a blog post about it

TL;DR - I don't think VulnCon should exist

When I posted this, I forgot to add. While I laughed and was amused (still am, it's a funny image), my first thought was... how did it turn it on? Ole Chuck be a strong force user to maintain this.

The big football match between Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille should've been extremely difficult to pirate in France on Sunday. With rare direct assistance from French telecoms regulator Arcom, DAZN promised to "pull out all the stops" to block pirate sites. Journalists invited in to witness planning for the "secret commando raids" openly reported the exact times they were scheduled for.

The reporters who were invited to witness the planning behind a serious of anti-piracy raids reported the exact date and times the raids were to happen.
