It's deeply concerning to see that such a large amount of data was exposed. #DataBreach #DataVulnerability #23andMe #CyberSecurity #PrivacyRights We must all be vigilant and take steps to protect our data online.

Check out this piece of conference swag.
An infosec vendor gave out these T-shirts at a conference last year.
Initially this shirt made me laugh, but just wondering if we should try not to make fun of “the stoopid users” so much.
Are "people" really the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain?
Lance Spitzner prefers the phrase:
"People are the primary attack vector."
This subtle change in messaging reframes the conversation, and moves the blame away from the user.
He encourages all of us to stop *blaming* others and figure out how to *enable* instead.
"After all, how many operating systems do you know of that self-report when they've been hacked?"
Just wondering if there are other ways to shift the convo when we engage with ordinary consumers / end users without talking down or making them feel “less than” for their lack of technical skillz?
Cybersecurity savvy *isn't* evenly distributed in the general public. Lots of folks are living below the cybersecurity poverty line, and don't even know it.

Which Password Manager Is Better?
Standalone or Built-In?Tavis Ormandy Sounds Off
Should ordinary folks use a separate, standalone Password Manager, or the Password Manager built into their browser?
Tavis Ormandy is an Information Security Engineer from England currently employed by Google as a member of their Project Zero team.
After discussing various technical problems with password managers, and after downplaying the need for "nuance," Tavis says:
"If you want to use an online password manager, I would recommend using the one already built into your browser. They provide the same functionality, and can sidestep these fundamental problems with extensions.
I use Chrome, but the other major browsers like Edge or Firefox are fine too. They can isolate their trusted UI (user interface) from websites, they don’t break the sandbox security model, they have world-class security teams, and they couldn’t be easier to use."
Tavis also recommends writing down and securely storing passwords.
Thinking about what would work best for most people, where do you think this advice lands?
Good idea, bad idea, or somewhere in between?
