Before crowbars were invented, crows would drink at home.

The local crowbar was shut down because of all the murders.

Police are still investigating the caws.

Are you bored? Would you like to play with an interactive map showing all the 38,590 overseas entities holding English/Welsh real estate? With clickable thingies that let you identify where someone has unlawfully hidden their ownership...

A good look at the shady PR tactics (and downright lies) the Post Office used to threaten BBC reporters who were trying to uncover the ongoing scandal that saw hundreds of sub-postmasters falsely convicted of stealing money.

Two important journalistic takeaways:

Journalists don't have to agree to going off-the-record with PR people — ever. Stay on-the-record, and stand your ground.

And, always name the spokespeople. There's no reason not to; it's literally their job.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-67884743

Another screenshot from the BBC article, which reads: "Rather than admit the truth, the Post Office continued to spread misinformation. And minutes of a Post Office meeting later uncovered in court show its PR boss Mark Davies directly lobbied senior BBC management to try to stop further negative coverage of the story. 'While we are able to withstand this current level of interest, it is resource intensive. We have made representations to the director of BBC News and Current Affairs,' Mr Davies told colleagues."

I've lurked long enough so i'll put out my #introduction post.

I'm Curtis, i've done a couple of years as a SOC analyst and recently moved into OT Security.

Something I haven't done previously is try in earnest to engage with the cyber security community but I hope I can do that here.

I have a rather inconsistent blog site https://blooteem.com that I will update sporadically as I find stuff to write about.

I have found a few industry voices, but i'm interested in following people who toot about #OTSecurity or SOC stuff, so reach out i'll definately give you a follow!

Hi from casa Pancakes, where I stayed at home on Zoom all day and -every single one of my mentee sessions no-showed and no-messaged-.

Sometimes I feel like not only is my kindness taken for granted, but I'm also seen as not even a human with a life.

I really miss Maplin.

I miss being able to go into a shop and buy 3 meters of cable just by looking at the cable and going “that's the right size for me”.
