Paul_IPv6paul_ipv6@infosec.exchangeOct 23, 2026, 7:58 PMi feel like we need to rebrand. how about "cybersecurity bewareness month"?
QueBabblingGeek@infosec.exchangeOct 23, 2026, 7:59 PM@adamshostack the awareness will continue until morale improves
VissViss@mastodon.socialOct 23, 2026, 8:02 PM@adamshostack quick lets dye our hair purple and start social engineering companies so we can call ourselves CEOs first!
Gaëtan Perraultgatesvp@mstdn.caOct 23, 2026, 8:33 PM@adamshostack I'm sure they've been holding for a big surprise at the end of the month. Just in time for Halloween.

etcjbourne@mastodon.socialOct 23, 2026, 9:08 PM@adamshostack I'm so aware at this point I have no fingernails left and my chest hurts. I want to go lay down now but this chain keeps me at my desk... #sarcasticallynotsarcastic
BrianKrebsbriankrebs@infosec.exchangeOct 24, 2026, 1:26 AM@adamshostack Okay, I'll bite. All that shit I said years ago about cybercrime not being personal...it's personal now.

@briankrebs I’m very sorry!
Alun Jonesftp_alun@infosec.exchangeOct 24, 2026, 8:58 PM@briankrebs @adamshostack How I felt a few years ago, getting hit by Phobos Eight ransomware. I've long empathised with victims of malware, but when it hits you, it's ten times the feels.
Oct 24, 2026, 2:42 AM@adamshostack unsure whether to reply with F or with 4, after how this week has gone.
Oct 24, 2026, 4:37 AM@coreo @adamshostack I was going to reply with "At least 4 things" so that's my vote.

Oct 24, 2026, 3:05 AM@adamshostack no please no
Fractal Oliviafractalolivia@infosec.exchangeOct 24, 2026, 4:18 AM@adamshostack for what it's worth, the company that employs me has been doing the cybersecurity month thing, and the advice appears to be completely sound. i believe that this is a good thing.
