We're working on a simple message / slogan to help our users with phishing attacks. How does this land?

"Avoid the link,
take a moment to think."

People are emotional creatures so training how to spot a phish mechanically is not effective enough. I'd like them to build a simple habit, which is to never use links - just surf to the website manually if you think the message is valid - and check there directly if action is required.

It's a gripping and highly informative read, especially for those of us running cyber in the Utilities industry. Great job Mr Greenberg! I got tonnes out of it. 😀​👍​

Dear #google please clean up your act and rid your advertising ecosystem of malware and phishing links. Until you do, Ad blocking on our network will remain mandatory.

This book explains the jobs of cyber defenders to young children, a welcome addition to younger kids education. But it also begs the question, given that cybersecurity and protecting your digital privacy/identity are now much needed life skills, when will school boards around the world start to reflect this in their curriculums?

I'm a very infrequent customer of Amazon (not a huge fan), but every time I go to log in after a break of a few months my password no longer works and I have to change it. Both for the .CA and .CO.UK sites. Is this by design? Anyone know?

For those that use Windows at home on their personal computers, I'm curious as to which security apps and services you use?

I use:

MalwareBytes
Windows Defender

As well as Malware blocking through the DNS service I connect to at the router.

Phew! Finally arrived on Infosec Mastodon and reconnected with all my favourite thought leaders. 😅​

Whilst going through my Twitter follows to find the correct URL's in Mastodon I'm really shocked to find how many cyber folks who are still posting on Twitter that my client hasn't been showing in my feed. I knew it was bad but wow...
