I am so heartbroken for Dylan and Johanna. They are going through the worst nightmare imaginable. They are two of the most loving people I know. If you can support them, please do. Let them feel the love and support of their community. Everything helps.

Its painful to write this sad note. My close friends Dylan & Jo have lost their child, Caspian. Some may know Dylan from the hacker community as a member of cDc. The family is facing significant medical & funeral costs. A GoFundMe has been set up to help. Every donation or share truly matters: gofund.me/13b9506f0

We have recognised neurodiversities, including dyslexia as a mission critical skill in what we do, actively seeking dyslexic thinking.
The @MadeByDyslexia Intelligence 5.0 report studies how much we value such super skills.

Timewarp to 2010, when George was CTO of McAfee, not CEO of Crowdstrike. Old security architectures, old problems zdnet.com/article/defective-…
1/The global IT outage caused by a failed Crowdstrike software update can apparently be fixed by booting Windows into Safe Mode and deleting a file. This means millions of Windows machines need to be booted and fixed by hand.

I'm kickstarting the audiobook for *The Bezzle*, sequel to 2023's *Red Team Blues*, featuring Marty Hench, a hard-charging, two-fisted forensic accountant with 40 years in Silicon Valley, busting every scam hatched by tech bros' feverish imagination:

Don’t ever let anyone Jedi mind trick you out of the fact that the “Disclosure” in “Vulnerability Disclosure” stands for Disclosure to parties at risk so they can protect themselves, NOT disclosure to a vendor so they can sit on it & call you irresponsible if you warn the public.

Very happy to keynote Tectonics this morning and draw some focus to the opportunities and challenges of making memory safety a priority for devices.

Great Tectonics keynote from @window, where she noted that we've made a big dent in memory safety in apps and web apps, but need to lend greater consideration to how memory safe components can be used on devices.
