    Sorry, @UK_Daniel_Card, you have just been made redundant along with much of the #infosec industry. 🤣🤯🤦

    I’m going to miss you Teak, old buddy. My life is richer for you having been a part of it for so many years. Rest in peace, my furry friend. 😢😢😢😢😢 #dogsarefamily #dogs of #infosec

    Positive thoughts appreciated for my 88 year old mum. Ambulance on way - high temperature, breathless etc. :-(

    Mum has finally been discharged from hospital after beating #Covid_19. Now in a rehab centre for six weeks. An 88 year old with heart failure beating this thing, despite getting pneumonia etc, is so encouraging. Fingers crossed for your loved ones if in a similar situation.

    For the first time, I’ve asked for help with my anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts - other than with the GP. Just came off the phone with the NHS folk and have a 45min psych evaluation call next week. This makes me a stronger, not weaker, person. #fighting #depression

When you set up a new home router,
what are some of the first things you
do to secure it (beyond changing the
password)? (PS its for a video)

    By me @Forbes: This Wi-Fi driver vulnerability impacts all versions of Windows and enables a no-interaction, no-authentication remote code attack as long as the attacker is in range. #infosec #windows #wifi
