Out of morbid curiosity, decided to watch some of Mike Lyndell's cyber symposium. Tuned out when the guy on stage said he just learned how to use FTK Imager last night. These are not experts, and this is not a presentation of facts. They're groping in the dark in real time.

Five great signs of intelligence: • You're not afraid or ashamed to find errors in your understanding of things. • You take mistakes as lessons. • You don't get offended with accepting the facts. • You are highly adaptable and very curious. • You know what you don't know.

Dan Kaminsky’s @dakami passion, creativity, desire to learn and teach really help influence both #defcon and @BlackHatEvents in the early years. He became an icon in all the positive ways and we looke up to him. RIP Hacker.

Also, if you have an idea for a timely talk relating to the outbreak, submit it. I've re-opened the CFP for the week. Best ideas get a speaking slot. bos2020.busyconf.com/proposa… The rest of the website will be updated shortly with up to date information.

We'll be working with the speakers this week to make sure that everyone can manage virtually, and then we'll fill in any gaps we need. Expect speaker podcasts to begin by next week sometime. We'll also make some pricing adjustments in order to help accommodate the situation.

We have experience running online events, so I expect the transition to go smoothly. After a few more weeks of this, I'm guessing folks will relish the idea of a 3-day virtual get-together. We have a lot of great content lined up, and can't wait to share it with the community.

We've been monitoring the situation very closely over the past few weeks, and it is very clear that an in-person SOURCE Boston Conference at the end of April is simply not happening. We will, however, be holding the event ONLINE. Stay tuned for more announcements later today.

Don't get frightened by not knowing things. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything. There are many things I don't know anything about. It doesn't frighten me.

Amazon counterfeit. Images were posted to Amazon.com by a concerned customer July 12, 2019, amazon.com/gp/customer-revie…. Counterfeit is shipped and sold by Amazon.com -- NOT a third party. Why do we have to police Amazon? Please RT. @nostarch @amazon

With the 2020 elections approaching, foreign cyber threats are top of mind amongst voters and election officials, yet #cybersecurity pros argue that seeking out #flaws in voting equipment should also be a main priority: ow.ly/jiIK50wBEY8 @thehill

Dear policymakers, We know terrorists are bad. We know they depend on encryption. They also depend on gravity. Asking mathematicians to "backdoor encryption for terrorists but make it safe for everyone else" is as dumb as demanding physicists do the same for gravity. #kthxbai
