  1. Add this to the UK #postOfficeScandal & the Dutch child benefits scandal. No one committed suicide or got jailed, but German education was disrupted for DECADES, because an undiagnosed computer error contradicted direct evidence more teachers were needed.

  3. The Conversation: Meta‑backed research finds exposure to ‘untrustworthy’ social media is rare. The fine print is less reassuring. “A new study published today in Science Advances offers the most rigorous answers yet. It comes from a collaboration between Meta and academic researchers who studied the 2020 United States election. It was run from inside the machine – on the live feeds of […]

  5. Hey y'all!

    It is still October and a few days before I publish my #halloween short story with ghosts in Florence and all sorts of Halloweenish stuff... 🎃 so stay tuned in for that treat ( or trick? 👻 ) ... until then we can still talk about #cyberawarenessmonth or whatever #cybersecurity lead-gen rockstars and gurus (🙄) are spinning this excuse to market their product anyways....

    A few days ago I published my conversation with Cybersecurity expert Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) where we spoke about her presentation at #cyberconmelbourne with the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) titled: Beyond Blame: Navigating the Digital World with Our #Kids.

    It is about why #parenting in the digital age requires more than tech skills—and what really keeps #kidssafeonline.

    🎯 As Australia prepares to ban social media for under 16s (December 10, 2025), JJ discusses why restriction isn't education and how parents can actually protect their children in a connected world.

    KEY TOPICS COVERED:

    The hidden language of emojis and what parents miss

    Why cybersecurity professionals struggle to protect their own kids

    Moving beyond blame in digital safety conversations

    Practical conversation starters for different age groups

    The impact of Netflix's "Adolescence" series on the debate

    Australia's social media ban: what it means for families

    How #gaming, #socialmedia, and #digitalliteracy intersect

    ABOUT JACQUELINE JAYNE (JJ): Jacqueline Jayne specializes in the human element of cybersecurity with nearly a decade of experience. Her focus on digital safety for families addresses the gap between technical knowledge and real-world parenting challenges.

  6. As you probably know by now, Sean Martin, CISSP and I are not going to be in Melbourne for #CyberCon with the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) this year... which really sucks as we had a great time there in 2024 - We met amazing people, created great content, and truly miss sharing quality time with the #cybersecurity community Down Under!

    But this isn't stopping us from being virtually there by reconnecting with friends and meeting new ones while covering the event remotely.

    So here's my conversation with the one and only Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) talking about her upcoming session: "Beyond Blame: Keeping Our Kids Safe Online" at CyberCon Melbourne (October 15-17, 2025).

    There's something fundamentally broken in how we approach online safety for young people. We're quick to point fingers—at tech companies, at schools, at kids themselves—but JJ wants to change that conversation entirely.
