- Just finished my 3rd year talking to K–6 students about cybersecurity careers—Zootopia-themed red + blue team storyline, real tools, and stories (redacted, of course). Huge thanks to @bishopfox.bsky.social for the support. These kid make me optimistic for the future. #CyberSecurity #STEM #CareerDay

- From my feature is @usatoday.com - This underscores the need for organizations to empower their employees. “People are proud to work where they feel valued and significant. When employees care about their work, they’re more likely to follow procedures” www.usatoday.com/story/specia...

- Thank you for expanding on your thought. I would also request you read the full article. As I’m a professional social engineer - I absolutely agree with what you said as well. It’s a very real threat, and I have never diminished its efficacy.

- I’d love to learn more about why you feel this way.
- No one is really against you. They are just out for themselves. If you’re able to mirror someone. Label them effectively. And show curiosity, while building trust from a place of empathy… they will open up and tell you everything.
- Beyond thrilled that Jon is back as #ThePunisher Literally no one could have owned this role the way he did. His empathy is INSANE.
- 🔥🔥🔥
- So very well deserved 👏🏼🎬👏🏼
- Made it to the desert 🌵
- Next Saturday @cactuscon.com catch my Keynote Down the Rabbit Hole: 🐇 Red Team Deep Fakes & the Evolution of #SocialEngineering NOT a talk about how to make deepfakes NOT a talk about raising awareness of deepfakes or social engineering Follow the White Rabbit… 🐇
- I recently tested two retail locations. 1. Had a confident and tall person who was clearly in charge and comfortable with their position. 2. Had a more anxious and short person who was in charge but not as confident. Both were key holders, not managers. Who let us in, who sent us packing?
-
View full threadThis is the assumption most people make. When in fact confidence person was very sure of themselves and took our work order and then confidently confirmed it appeared legitimate and gave us access. 1/2
- It was the anxious person who received all the same information and had the same level of authority but who stuck to policy and denied access while looking mortified to challenge us and being extremely apologetic. They still were more scared of their manager. 2/2

- Very smart! Most people assume the short ball of anxiety would be a push over and the tall confident human would block us. And they would be wrong.

- All completely unrelated to if we were allowed to proceed as these were constants at both locations. But… Northern California Sunny Midday High volume retails sales, but not a big box store (can’t get more specific) Open 9am to 11pm roughly Stores are medium size retail but not anchor store
- “You tell people they’re not good enough for long enough, and they’ll start believing it, at some point,” @alethe.bsky.social explains. Constantly framing humans as the problem erodes their sense of responsibility and pride. - @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/specia...
- “People are not inherently easy to hack. They’re only as effective as the systems and support around them.” - @alethe.bsky.social www.usatoday.com/story/specia...

- Thanks for watching and for your feedback! I was puzzled at why I sounded so screamy and then realized that the mic is noise canceling the sounds of the conference around us but I felt like I had to shout over all the noise around us.
- My DMs on this app make me feel extremely unsettled.

- Awe Chris Cornell. He was just so amazing as an artist and human.

- Little OSINT challenge for you from yesterday. Large bus backing out of a hotel parking lot got stuck after it bottomed out on the road below and put the Christmas Parade in jeopardy of being delayed… luckily they managed to dislodge it about 40min before the start of the parade after 90min 🎄
