Oh: “we don’t call threat hunting ‘threat hunting’ here when we do it, though”

I don’t care
You still have to do it if you want to catch stuff your automated detection misses
Your people had better know what to search for in reality when they need any education or references
WTF
Stop making ridiculous job titles and renaming common Cybersecurity terms just because it internal politics? All it hurts is your current and future analysts?
Every Cybersecurity monitoring organization today with any bandwidth available after detection automation and response not *performed by a hamster* should be doing the proactive task which is, in fact, called threat hunting.
Yes, I’m subtweeting you.

Today in, “wow, we’re failing as a profession”, a 60-reply-long joke thread on my neighborhood forum in 2021 about how ‘obviously everyone has to reuse passwords because they’re just too hard to remember as one gets older’.
Actually biting my fingers to not be “that nerd” on a funny ha ha joke.

Until the AOL-using retired gardeners in my town feel comfy using password managers and/or FIDO keys, we’re still lacking in usability and awareness.
Meanwhile we’re like, “just use a password manager, except you have to open it separately on iPhone if you use that plus a PC, and you can use a FIDO key on some sites, but don’t lose it, and you need a different authenticator app for home and work, but don’t use SMS.”

Asexual Enby story time because you keep asking for more representation:
“Is this a fad?”
I can only speak for myself, but as an adolescent I was so skeeved by turning into an adult, sexualized woman that I quit every single school activity that started making me dress like one.
Like, I literally gave up music and art because at 10-12 they started requiring nylons and heels for uniforms and I was so not cool seeing myself.

When I was 15 I had a girl BFF for the first time. She would go have sex with her boyfriend at someone’s basement. I never snitched.
She “hooked me up” with his buddy as a ‘boyfriend’, but we just played MUDs on the computer while we were waiting and I was honestly very confused by everything that was happening.

If you accuse people who give a crap about others who don't look, date, or pray like them of "virtue signaling", maybe you don't know enough people, and maybe you have been too sheltered from people who are suffering. Ultimately, it will impact you as a security professional.
I'll never forget the black, woman, veteran employee I watched break into tears because she had been pulled over by the police on her way to work during Chicago protests, held, and aggressively accused of being a rioter. She had ID reflecting all of this and was dressed for work.
There are whole neighborhoods here that are incredibly difficult to escape, and the police automatically make assumptions about anyone living or entering there. Places that have poor access to jobs, good education, support resources, and even decent food.

The great thing about being ~middle age is knowing exactly what you like, which manifests in very amusing ways when you are single and childless. “You know what would be good in the living room? A big Lego Rube Goldberg machine, discount tequila, and a sauna”.
My married friends: “maybe we could do this in the basement”

My parent friends: “I do not understand any of this but it’s cool. Do you have wet wipes?”
I am the very fun eccentric auntie,

When I started working 100% remotely over three years ago, I was frustrated with not being able to have dynamic chats (professional and banter) with my team. I’ve honestly found that time, better tools, and the past year of more people being remote have rectified most of this.
The worst situation for a remote worker is being the *only* remote worker and not having a team that can compensate for that well. Now that we’ve reached a tipping point, almost everyone in IT now empathizes with remote workers and conferencing and chat tools have improved a lot.
It’s possible that COVID-19 actually made remote work feasible for some tech organizations that would have made it really uninviting under other circumstances.

Hello, I would like to introduce you to the new plethora of free cliche hacker stock art, now *finally* available in a multitude of genders and skin tones. But still entertainingly cliche and extremely context-free.
Apparently we all have large terminal text that displays on our back walls and on our faces
We have friends now! We are no longer solitary hackers. But we all dress like the 90s movie. Fairly accurate.
