NIST turns to IT consultants to clear National Vulnerability Database backlog
🤔
"According to the agency's statement last week, it hopes to reach its pre-February processing rate of CVEs within the next few months. NIST predicted it should be caught up and back to processing current CVEs by the end of the fiscal year."
#Infosec#Twitter is dead, why do people still insist on being on that platform? It's lost its relevance, and all the best people in Infosec have moved here to #Mastodon or another #Fediverse app.
I feel like most of those still on Twitter are more worried about appearances and keeping their follower numbers than keeping and growing a great community.
@chiefgyk3d had a couple of meetings today though and in general here in the UK the numbers are down hugely in 2024 across all the platforms including youtube, twitch, tik tok. Everything is harder, and prices are up and rewards are down. The big tinternet bubble of great numbers and easy money seems to have gone very quickly
@3dcandy I think overall a lot of people had a lot of free time to use the internet more during the pandemic, and not that is starting to decline as people have to get back to regular routines.
I know that free time and being bored in a house is what led me to make Tiktok and other content.
I just received a moderately interesting #scam call.
The phone rings.
It's a New York Number (I'm in NYC) with "New York NY" as its CID.
I answer and say hello, and hear a couple seconds of silence and then the blip sound indicating I've been transferred from the bulk dialer to a live person.
The person who says hello has a strong Indian accent and I can hear other people talking in the background. #infosec#privacy#telemarketing

"I'm calling from the diabetes supply team, and we're sending you an [unintelligible] glucose meter. Are you a diabetic?"
Me: "Why?"
The guy repeats exactly the same sentence.
Me: "I heard you. Why are you sending me a meter. Did someone tell you to do that?"
He repeats the same sentence.
Me: "I heard you. I'm asking why you're sending me a meter."
He hangs up.

He's trying to get me to say "Yes" so he can record that and use it to fraudulently claim I verbally agreed to buy something.
If I'd played ball he would have collected personal / payment information about me and used it to harm or scam me.
It's possible that there really is a glucose meter that they want to send me as a loss leader to make money off of the needed supplies.
I'm thinking it was probably (1), but not certain.

I don't recall which #infosec person inspired me to create a security/cyber policy page on our company website, and security.txt files on our apps, but I am glad we did.
We received our first vulnerability notification email last night and it was fixed today. Grateful for the white hats out there. 🙌
#infosec
A large western Washington municipality that rhymes with "free cattle" is going to post an opportunity for a new OT #cybersecurity manager in a few weeks.
For a variety of reasons, I am very invested in this position even though I'm just lowly water engineer.
Please stay tuned. I will post a link here when I have it myself.
Please spread the word wherever infosec folks gather.
My hope is that this will be an opportunity for some culture change.
