Wait. The "Search-UnifiedAuditLog" cmdlet returns unsorted, non-deterministic data and each run of the same timeframe might give you different data? What the hell Microsoft.
I keep expecting better from Microsoft and yes, that is on me.
Musk becoming the "First Trillionaire" should not be a thing. It should not be a story. The story should be the failure of our markets and regulation that allowed this hoarding to happen.
If you hoard a bunch of newspaper society calls you crazy. If you hoard a bunch of money society calls you a titan.
The story should be "Why isn't the first trillionaire using his fortune to feed the world?"
Wait. Wait. Watching season 3 of The Walking Dead. So Rick's neighborhood and town are a short distance from the prison. Yet he didn't know about the prison ... The writers really hate the audience.
First time cooking salmon!
Email should not have an emoji reaction ability. It's annoying to receive a notification that I have a new email yet there is no new email.
I found this Akira Ransomware writeup absolutely fascinating today. Why did I find it fascinating? Because this is a direct profile of many of the clients that I work with.
(1) The attack surface was external using credential spraying.
(2) NGFW matches most of the clients I work with.
(3) Any sort of simple monitoring and log aggregation would have alerted internal resources that something was amiss.
(4) The cost of implementing the basic fundamentals here are minimal.
I truly don’t believe that an organization has to spent infinite funds on their security program. Too many organizations chase the latest tooling or product because of flashy marketing. Oooh it has AI and all that.
No. You just need to cover the basics. Don’t let perfect become the enemy of good.
Cycle credentials. Disable accounts. Monitor your attack surface and reduce it as you can. Set up basic monitoring so you know when odd things (like the clearing of event logs!) happens.
All credit to Manuel Humberto Santander Peláez and SANS for this excellent write up.
My fundamental view on this is simple. LLM AI systems being operated by Big Tech, and presented as "virtual humans", that is, interacting with users in a manner similar to that of a human being and presenting LLM created first person content, should bring to bear on the firm and its leadership the same financial, legal, and other responsibilities that would be borne by an actual human being providing the same information and interactions.
I'm pretty sure this post is from the threat actor and you cannot convince me otherwise.

How Republican's can call themselves the party of family values will never make sense. How can they be against a program that literally helps people have families?!?!

The entire thread is great but THIS is it. This is the basic fundamental of being in society. We can actually do good things together and WE SHOULD.
Can we please build and run society to a benefit of all?
A brief thread about code and communications:
Once people depend on a piece of software - not "use" but "depend" - I believe developers have a greater degree of responsibility to the communities relying on that software.
At some point "this software is provided as is with no warranty express or implied" is no more defensible a position than "this building is provided as is and if it falls down well you chose to live in it, whether or not I decide to change it however I like in the future."
It’s illegal to lie to the government (e.g.: law enforcement and Congress).
Yet there is no such restriction on the government.
I’ve checked the Constitution. It doesn’t grant that right to the government.
Anyone else find that bonkers?
... TIL of this trick in Python.

I should really take an actual Python course...
Holy cow! BSides Detroit was phenomenal!! Great job to all the organizers and speakers. I had a great time meeting new folks and learning some new facts.
I'm tired now.
Anyone else on this server heading to BSides Detroit?
I complained to Claude that the sun is out and I'm stuck here on a computer. Claude said to go outside and enjoy the sun.
Hmmmm.....
Once again for The Today Show and other news programs: If we are currently bombing Iran then there is no ceasefire with Iran. It does not "threaten" the ceasefire - there is none.
Just a reminder that our President started this war. Our President made this decision and neither his Cabinet nor Party have reined him in.
We are "the baddies" right now.
This might be my best chicken and pasta dish yet. Grilled chicken (Montreal seasoning) paired with penne tossed in a garlic lemon butter sauce with sauteed asparagus and cherry tomatoes.
Holy crap RingCentral. I just made an inquiry and you just... won't stop calling!
