Collaborate Disseminate
Today was all about this whole idea of how we index and track data breaches. Not as HIBP, but rather as an industry; we simply don’t have a canonical reference of breaches and their associated attributes. When they happened, how many people were impacted, any press on the
It’s been a while since I’ve just gone all “AMA” on a weekly update, but this was just one of those weeks that flew by with my head mostly in the code and not doing much else. There’s a bit of discussion

Who would have thought that just a few hours after recording the previous week’s video, the world would descend into what has undoubtedly become the largest IT outage we’ve ever seen:
I don’t think it’s too early to call it: this will
It feels weird to be writing anything right now that isn’t somehow related to Friday’s CrowdStrike incident, but given I recorded this video just a few hours before all hell broke loose, it’ll have to wait until next week. This week, the issue that
I get the frustration and anger those working at organisations that have been breached feel, and I’ve seen it firsthand in my communications with them on so many prior occasions. They’re the victim of a criminal act and they’re rightly outraged. However… thinking back
