4 is the 6-7 of cybersecurity

I think AI has already exceeded the intelligence of the type of person that believes AGI is imminent, which is why they believe AGI is imminent.

Happy Birthday to us! 13 years ago at @bsideslv.org … w/ @joshcorman.bsky.social Nick Percoco … met @beauwoods.com an hour later Saving lives since 2013

Six months away. Exciting!

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

A brief, unauthorized history of tech: -60s-70s: this seems fun -80s-90s: it's my way to find myself and my community -2000s: we can build ANYTHING! -2010s: wait WHY are we making this addictive? -2020s: yeah but if WE don't use all the Earth's resources, somebody else might and we don't want that!

Me, on any given day trying to get some work done in spite of all the scam offers to extend a line of credit, buy the company, or assuring me that I authorized myself to pay an invoice. Except the kids are adorable.

Enjoyed joining @hackersonthehill.org in Washington, DC. Cybersecurity isn’t just a technology challenge. It’s also about governance, public policy, and collaboration. Thanks @beauwoods.com and everyone who organized the event. What cybersecurity policy issue deserves more attention from Congress?

🚀 #CriticalEffectDC ended with the annual #CyberPolicySharkTank, hosted by @beauwoods.com! After Stacey Myers, John Cavanaugh & Nicholas Carroll pitched our Sharks, Nicholas took home first place for Albert for Water, a cybersecurity playbook for under-resourced water utilities. Congratulations!

The hacker/witnesses misunderstood the request to "swear in" and swore instead.

Time to level up on K8s security. I won't oversell my Agentic AI-Aided #Kubernetes Attack & Defense class - I'll just let 4 people I respect say what they got out of it. @blackhatevents.bsky.social Las Vegas in August! tinyurl.com/bhus26-kube-... @malwarejake.bsky.social @grahamhelton.bsky.social

I'm impressed with Apple's Private Cloud Compute and its extension to Google Cloud. Servers with a verified boot chain, attesting to their verified status to clients. Stateless computation. Hardened supply chain. This is a massive investment in privacy. security.apple.com/blog/expandi...

GIVEAWAY CONTEST: For those who don't know, these are our Speakers' Scarves - we give these away as a thank you gift every year for the people who volunteer to present at the conference.

These things have always been true: 1. The ability to generate buggy code has never been greater. 2. The ability to find bugs in code has never been greater. 3. The ability to fix bugs in code has never been greater. 4. Many, many more people want to do 1 or 2 than 3. Now scale this with AI.

Today is the day! Our first ever Hackers on the Hill Colorado (and first ever US State-level event) kicks off in about an hour. Hope to see you there!

Made it to Denver early. Doing recon at the Capitol before Tuesday’s Hackers on the Hill Colorado event. Can you ever really be too early to work on cyber policy? Sign up to be the first to know when new events drop: hackersonthehill.org/colorado-2026

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9
