Wh00t! Our 3rd talk at RSAC in 4 years, and maybe our best RSAC talk yet.
.@charlvdwalt and I have been accepted to speak about our novel OT cyber extortion, Dead Man's PLC, at @RSAConference!
@metrofibre_networx @webafrica is there an outage of which we should be aware of? Gauteng/Centurion area?
So, watched Dune. Yes. It dragged, but this is a sci-fi opera. I think Villeneuve got it spot-on. And it was refreshing to watch highly advanced societies still fighting with swords and knives. No pew-pew.
Had the privilege of partaking in a @WhiskyRebels online whisky tasting. Folks. I have never been this entertained on the facts of whisky/whiskey making.
Got up at 0330 to watch this. So worth it!

Would you know if your mobile phone was hacked?
Our new WireGuard token deploys in seconds to give you a VPN config on your device.
An attacker who compromises the phone has to try accessing it, and you get that one alert. When it matters.

Upgrading the house with some physical security barriers. The sales rep should be lauded for his candid response to my naive question about keeping the bad guys out. "This won't stop them - I am only buying you time to respond".
