When you think you're in clear because of the new cyber program adjustments:
Nope. Turns out in opus land computer viruses are bio.
Heading to USENIX Security tonight. Would love to catch up with folks that are around.
Also, we're hiring @incalmo_ai, come talk to me!
It's genuinely scary how cheap and functional these samples are. It's eye opening to see how rapidly the cyber landscape is shifting.
Also, I'm at incalmo now! It's awesome and we're hiring! Come work with us if you're research minded and have a past in cyber and/or AI!

ALT Paper abstract
The @FCC order gets many things right; however, it falls short of addressing several crucial consumer needs. See our (research based) list of suggested changes to substantially improve the label.
(1/6) @CyLab director @lorrietweet along with Yuvraj Agarwal and @_oakgul joined forces with @ConsumerReports to request amendments to the @FCC's Cybersecurity Labeling for Internet of Things Order, to be voted on by the #FCC this week: cylab.cmu.edu/_files/documen…

I had a great time. Thanks for letting me pick your brain an a couple followup ideas!
I had the chance to catch up with @_oakgul this morning!
He worked on an amazing paper on "Bug Hunters’ Perspectives on the Challenges and Benefits of the Bug Bounty Ecosystem"
A few things I didn't expect, definitely worth a read!

Thanks! Such an honor! This paper was a lot of work over the last couple years. Wouldn't be possible without my collaborators.

This analysis is perhaps the least convincing of the series (not saying it doesn't have merit). It's the last sentence in the post that's really damning.
