@Kevin The AI or me?

@JoeUchill@mastodon.social avatar

@Kevin I mean, the answer to either question is I don't know.

JoeUchill,
@JoeUchill@mastodon.social avatar

@Kevin I didn't know if you were wondering why people were tiger teaming the AI or if it was why did google spend billions recommending gasoline pasta.

I actually know the answer to the first question and could give it. The second? Not so much.

Microsoft sure figured out a way to guarantee their operating system can't be used by federal employees.

This is the headshot (???) of the alleged individual most singularly responsible for cyberattacks against hospitals in the US and around the world. The UK's National Crime Agency today said the leader of LockBit is this guy, Dmitry Khoroshev, aka LockBitSupp.

@kevincollier there was a CISA statistical analysis that suggested rware was responsible for at least some of the excess deaths during COVID.

I’d be surprised if they didn’t.

    The word "conservative" now means right-wing extremist, and news organizations should be clear about that. They should make a major point of explaining that the traditional definition of conservative no longer applies in today's common usage of the word.

    They don't, of course, and this is undoubtedly a source of confusion for news consumers.

    Another example of the willful imprecision of journalism...

    JoeUchill,
    @JoeUchill@mastodon.social avatar

    @dangillmor A number of the retiring Republicans over the years have been people who clashed with the Trump agenda - people who stayed true to the more old-timey conservative agenda.

    What do you call those people?

    At WEIS, Cornell and Carnegie Mellon researchers note that non-users induced to use ad blockers have develop more negative opinions on ads - i.e. people don’t realize how little they like ads until they try it.

    I've been thinking about something recently and, I dunno, maybe I'll make it into a talk.

    My sense is that a lot of the infosec research done by the private sector and individual researchers is unavailable to policy researchers.

    That's not to say it's technically unavailable. I just don't get the sense that information outside the research databases (JSTOR, ProQuest, etc.) is in the line of sight of someone doing academic research.

    JoeUchill,
    @JoeUchill@mastodon.social avatar

    . @mttaggart had a good question "I also wonder to what degree policy research needs access to this kind of material.

    I'm taking "Infosec research" to mean like CVE discovery, etc. Or am I misunderstanding?"

    My answer was: CVE discovery is part of it - for example, TSA issues cybersecurity of railroads. But threat intelligence is a big one, particularly in terms of crime rather than national groups.

    Lots of gray literature on ransomware groups, but little in journals, for example.

    Worth a conference talk?

    JoeUchill,
    @JoeUchill@mastodon.social avatar

    @chetwisniewski Every realistic solution I can come up with is on the researcher side and most can only be accomplished with vendor assistance. So it'd have to be a vendor focused conference with maybe some policy presence.

    JoeUchill,
    @JoeUchill@mastodon.social avatar

    @chetwisniewski When you aren't in the infosec field, it's hard to figure out which vendors are credible. So even if you encouraged policy researchers to look for vendor data, you'd be counting on them figuring out which vendors are legit information sources.

    So I think it might be easier to incentivize businesses to engage with structures that would filter out bad research than it would for a defense expert at a think tank to figure out what to make of a company called Zero Fox.
