This decision is going to be significant for all lawyers who work in cyber incident response and breach coaching. The IPC's decision that forensic reports are NOT privileged was upheld as correct by the ON Divisional Court. LifeLabs LP v. ON IPC https://canlii.ca/t/k4bqw

So have script kiddies in cybersecurity been replaced by prompt kiddies yet? Mostly unknowledgeable people using ChatGPT to write exploit scripts?

Right now is one of the best times ever to buy a Breville espresso machine, as the entire Barista lineup, and the Bambino Plus, are all 20% off, factory authorized. Here's what's available, and thoughts on each machine.

Well, Global BC is keeping me busy today, just filmed another piece for the 5 and 6pm news here in BC on the London Drugs "cyberincident". Tune in to watch me squirm and explain ransomware.

Anyone know any artists who are interested in creating a logo for a new podcast? I would like to hire someone to create a logo and then make it CC licensed when finished for my new podcast I'm working on with @0xBennyV

With this wave of unrepentant mediocre garbage overwhelming the internet due to SEO and generative AI models it feels like enshitification might be here to stay.

I'm feeling some optimism today. We seem to be entering an age of authenticity. We are rejecting mass produced junk and much of the drive toward social media, TikTok, and their ilk seem to be a way of seeking real people and real things. Of course influencers are no more real than ChatGPT, but I think #authenticity is on the rise.

I said something yesterday at the Vancouver Cloud Summit that I will repeat here:

"Logs are cheaper than lawyers".

When deploying to the cloud, especially "cloud native" applications you must ensure you are collecting logs for analysis, threat hunting, and forensics. Platforms have logging off and often charge for it. Turn them on, protect them and USE THEM.

So we just made our usual reservations for our next trip up to BC, #Canada, but something was different this time.

We didn't have to make them for a return trip to California.

Shit's getting real. #CountdownToCanada 🇨🇦

I just found out X/Twitter unilaterally "verified" my old and dormant account there ("because you're an influential user"), now making me look like I'm an idiot who's voluntarily paying Musk eight bucks or whatever it is a month.

A free gift of defamation.

Please tech companies, keep adding AI to your services as a "premium" paid for feature that allows me to avoid it and also not have to pay you. Win-Win.

May everyone in Taiwan find themselves shelter and safety during this frightening natural disaster. Please share legitimate charities who may help and steer people away from opportunistic fraudsters.

I'm very excited to guest lecture tomorrow to a class of University of British Columbia's #InfoSec students on the pros and cons of multifactor authentication technologies. Always fun to engage with students and learn from their perspectives.

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.
