I was delighted to see my talk "Building defensive playbooks from others misfortune" from RootCon 2022 was just surprise posted to YewTube. Check it out, still relevant after 18 months. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=V_UrmsnOBbg

Death to Lockbit.. Long live Lockbit! When is a ransomware scumbug truly dead? Sanctions? Fancy new name? New handles? Steal bracelets? Maybe this should be a poll.

I know many of you are experts, but I think I have a slightly different take than most on this whole Lockbit affair. Odds are I am wrong, but that hasn't dissuaded me from expressing my thoughts before, so I hope to publish a blog in the next day or so with my thoughts. Things are never quite what they seem, and I wonder if this is a genuine step change for law enforcement's approach to this intractable dilemma.

@jc I think it goes deeper, intentionally or not. Trust is a bizarre asset in the criminal world and compromised assets could be any||every where.

@jc Hopefully not long, I passed it to my colleague for an edit a few minutes ago and we should be able to post it
tomorrow North America time.

Just got back from an amazing dinner with my wife for our 25th anniversary. I forgot to photo the amazing Alberta bison strip loin. Yum.

@chad The only logical way to store carbon in the ground is as oil and coal. Cheap, easy solution. Don't drill it out or mine it and it is 100% efficient.

Through a series of errors of which I would rather not recount I had to revert my Mastodon instance to a backup from 23 Dec 2023. If you followed me or anyone else on securitycafe.ca since then, please refollow. I am a master at destroying valid backups I learned yesterday.

I ordered a beautiful new leather desk mat on Etsy from a small shop in Ukraine (Mureli https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/917432262/large-leather-mouse-pad-personalized). It's great and they even sent me a video of them making it. Best part is the postage. Slava Ukraini!

Review: In "Read Write Own", the Andreessen Horowitz general partner and web3 superfan Chris Dixon lays out an unconvincing argument that blockchains are what it will take to fix the web.

The New York Times is so dodgy. I was on a promo for $4 CAD/month. They email to say that is expiring and it will go to $20/month. I click cancel six different ways to Sunday and then they say oh, would you stay for $2/month for another year? If they can make money at $2/month why do they think they can take me for a ride for $20? How is this allowed/ethical?
