The main reason I sit when I pee is so I can watch out for anyone sneaking up behind me and defend myself from attackers.

Ep 175: Bayrob
It started with a fake car listing on eBay.
This is the story of Bayrob and the three men from Romanian who were behind it. And the long, strange road that led American investigators to their door.

Ep 174 "Pacific Rim" is now live! π
Sophos got attacked by a nation state actor. How they handled it is controversial. Curious what you would have done.

Some smartphones sold in mainland China (like certain OPPO models) can read MIFARE Classic cards, crack the keys in seconds, store them, and then fully emulate the card directly on the phone.
No extra hardware. Just the phone.
Access control, transit cards, hotel keys⦠game over.
Huge thanks to Ian for showing me this in person. Really eye-opening how far NFC capabilities have gone in some regions.
Who else has seen this in the wild?

Privacy is a core pillar of cyber security. Yet I see many of you security folks uninterested in being private.
The C in the CIA triad of security is confidentiality. That means stopping those people who shouldn't be able to see your data. Yet you keep leaking private data to them.
Time to make a firewall rule that has fangs.
It's time to close the loophole on the US government being able to collect data on us without a warrant.
Today the Surveillance Accountability Act was introduced and it aims to stop just this.

"I don't care about the government watching me, because I have nothing to hide."
Ok does that mean, no matter who is in charge, you will always be loyal and law abiding? You never will dissent against leadership or protest?
Data is forever, but regimes change.

The government can buy your data, track your movements, and dig through your financial records. No warrant. No permission.
Warrantless surveillance has to stop.
The Surveillance Accountability Act fixes this.

Just finished this book by @RaineyReitman. It goes into how financial institutions silence people by cancelling their banking service. Sometimes with pressure from government, like in operation chokepoint. I recommend checking it out.

It wasn't a joke. New episode coming out Tuesday. It's all set and ready to rip. This one should be a movie...
I'll be releasing 2 episodes of Darknet Diaries this month, instead of the normal 1 per month.

ποΈPeople are covering their faces to avoid live facial recognition surveillance.
UK police? Grabbing them off the street for not complying & demanding their details.
Reminder: Covering your face while walking isnβt a crime.
