@thurloat aaand they crammed a new, exciting phrase into the "whitepaper": "Encryption as a Service"

Exciting! Such cyber! Many wow.

These numbers are insane. It should be the other way around!

I firmly believe we need to start calling NSAs and GCHQs of this world out on their bullshit. If you have ~$10bln annual budget and you leak a weaponized exploit, which then gets used in *malware*, you should be liable for damages.

WannaCry alone caused estimated $4bn of damage. Why should the victims pay for it?

So, just listened to the newest episode of the #DefensiveSecurity podcast.

One of the topics touched on was WannaCry/NotPetia - it's been over a year since they hit, and @jerry made some good points about why these infections keep happening (have a listen, worth it!).

But one thing I felt was sorely missing: the way three-letter-agencies basically made us all less secure. EternalBlue, after all, was #NSA's tool that got leaked.

US CERT budget: ~$93mln
NSA official budget: ~$10bln

Today I learned about SRI https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subresource_Integrity

Just heard an owl for the first time in my life. And it’s near my house! 🦉

Wish it would shut up, it’s quite late.

#adtech, the business of spying on people without consent in order to sell mind control solutions to third parties on shady real-time exchanges, is suffering a lot today thanks to the #GDPR:

If I wanted to copy/paste the name of each partner that receive data from Tumblr, I would need nine standard-sized toots of 500 characters.

Let's also analyze for a bit the UI of their mandatory privacy disclaimer. Keep in mind the spirit of the GDPR is all about the need to have "informed consent" to collect data about a user.

Go read they shitty website in which they try to justify their invasion of your privacy, and also minimize the rights you have to control that data: https://www.oath.com/en-gb/my-data/
