I'm just a security researcher, standing in front of a journalist, asking them not to delete the file with the malicious attachment before calling me.

Why yes, I am absolutely wearing this cut-off tshirt with an image of Artemisia Gentileschi’s Judith Beheading Holofrenes that says “Girl Dinner” to the talk I am giving this afternoon about tech-enabled abuse.

Everything about Durov's statement is so profoundly dishonest that I feel like engaging in a point-by-point debunking is a waste of time. If most of the messages on your platform are not end-to-end encrypted AT ALL, it is less private and secure than platforms whose messages are all e2e by default.

@fifilamoura I absolutely do not care whether or not he is a Russian agent. I only care that the platform he runs is objectively neither private nor secure by default and he is trying to convince people to use it instead of a platform that is much more private and secure by default.

This is your regular reminder that most communications on Telegram are not end-to-end encrypted. Channels and groups are never end-to-end encrypted and 1-on-1 messages are only end-to-end when explicitly enabled.

I see that today on the internet people are discovering who Meir Kahane was.

@kete That guy was very bad and his fans/followers continue to be bad. Extremely fucking bad.

I will be at the Computer History Museum on May 16th, talking about digital privacy, security, and Big Data with the folks from PBS' NOVA.

Do not stare into the abyss, lest you be invited to keynote the abyss.

"You are absolutely not going to like what I have to say about this thing you have invited me to keynote about" is my whole vibe.

A journalist sent me a bunch of questions about Baby Reindeer, so I watched it this weekend, and not only did I not answer the questions, but now I really need to watch something that is not about stalking and sexual assault.

The saddest thing about meeting other high-profile women and enbys in infosec is the part where you compare your lists of stalkers and chronic harassers.

Important fashion update: my silver bias-cut "space royalty" gown and silver star Hedy Lamarr headdress were a great success. On theme. Would wear again.

@eliza There are pictures, but I try to be careful about what I post here because people get weird.

@KevinMarks Servalan would have worn this gown.

Welp. It was definitely a good week to talk to a bunch of college CISOs about campus surveillance.

@fbajak They suddenly became much more interested in protecting the students than in giving more power and data to the police.

LA is just like any other city, except sometimes the guy at the cafe who looks like Brad Pitt actually is Brad Pitt

@tiffanycli To be fair, even Brad Pitt doesn't look like Brad Pitt anymore.

I cannot overstate how dangerous to free speech and a healthy democracy it is to redefine all anti-Zionism and criticism of the state of Israel as antisemitism. You know who's loudly critical of Zionism and the Israeli govt? Jews. A lot of Jews.

@not2b Oh, I'm aware. You are also probably already aware that Netanyahu's corruption and the war are deeply intertwined, but I feel like it bears repeating. That guy sucks.

There is always a point, when I am writing a new talk, that I look over my slides and need to resist the urge to make it positively unhinged.

evacide,
@evacide@hachyderm.io avatar

@antivodonik When I am talking to an audience that largely agrees with me, sometimes an unhinged talk is fun. But this is not that kind of audience. I need to convince and inspire them to action and I will not be able to do it with 45 minutes of niche memes and wild gesticulation.

I priced out a new sectional for my living room and holy shit the price of new furniture has gone up.

@bouriquet This is not a cost-effective option given the particular thing I am looking for.
