- Reposted by Chris KrebsHardcoded credentials in the Signal archiving tool used by the White House is a five-alarm security dumpster fire.
- The source code for the TM SGNL apps (basically a backdoored version of Signal used by Trump officials) is public! Since it's open source, I've pushed it to github for easier research micahflee.com/heres-the-so...

- It finally happened. In a recent move I threw out my "box o' cables." I thought, "nah, I'll never need those old things, I'm all modernized and stuff." Welp, today I needed a VGA cord to hook up an old monitor to an old DVR.....

- Had a blast in Sydney, AUS recording a live "Wide World of Cyber" podcast w/ @patrick.risky.biz. Awesome crowd, timely content, & even better weather (early summer in Sydney ain't bad!). Sadly, no Kangaroo 🦘 sightings, but the biggest bats🦇I've ever seen! 10/10, would do again!

- Reposted by Chris KrebsGuess you could argue that volt only matters if activated whereas salt matters right now (God these terms are maddening) Either way, I still think that focussing on ripping out whatever remains of Chinese infrastructure as the top priority response to salt flies in the face of the evidence about it
- Reposted by Chris KrebsAlso think salt, whilst important, is spying. Volt is more strategically significant as it’s a precursor to the disruption of civilian CNI, so way more serious & unlike salt a major departure from (a) norms & (b) previous Chinese ops
- Reposted by Chris KrebsAbsolutely - it’s salt & the naming are silly & unhelpful (I also posted about that!). I do wonder though if this is a distraction: afaik from the publicly available info Salt wasn’t primarily due to Chinese kit but weaknesses in US (& other western) built, US operated infrastructure 1/2
- Reposted by Chris KrebsUS Government moving on China associated TP Link as another concern in our cyber supply chain. Growing to dominate the residential WiFi and router market, they are seen as vulnerable and a tool used in hacks.

- Brace yourself, but I'll watch just about anything Orson Welles, Christopher Nolan, Guy Ritchie, & Taylor Sheridan. Yes, I recognize that's likely the first time anyone's ever drawn a line through those four. And sure, a disjointed grouping a little trashy around the edges, but my go-to every time.

- Tonight’s The Diplomat commentary (Spoiler Alert): “Who gives a f—- about Scotland? They’re nice, sweet people. They’re cold all the time.” I don’t laugh out loud at shows much, but I sure did here. Watched it again, laughed again. There are better shows, for sure, but this one is easy to like.

- The chargers’ unis are so pure. At the same time bengals unis are excellent for their flat out distinctiveness and commitment to their mascot meme. Don’t much like either team, but this is as good as you get visually. Note also the teams are opposites helmet/jerseys/pants in their kit.
