Delchi was a giant of a man in so many ways. It’s easy to forget that he was a legend in the DJ world, a master craftsman, an artist, an engineer, a pioneer and a hacker in the truest sense of the word.

His light was so bright that everything seems a little darker now.

I will miss you Brother.

Maia Hamin, Trey Herr, and @cjunky.bsky.social discuss a CSRB report on the 2023 intrusion into Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure, and what it reveals about the current state of cloud security policy.
Cloud Un-Cover: CSRB Tells It Like It Is But What Comes Next Is on Us
Lagging policy upholds a status quo in which cloud vendor’s design decisions about how their systems work (and work together) are almost entirely opaque.

It is important that we talk about government boundaries and ensure our rights are protected. However must make sure this conversation is bi-partisan, balanced and constructive. We must also make sure we don’t tear down our national defenses in the process. 5/5

We have no “cyber 9-1-1” in this country. There is no one to call when you face a cybersecurity attack if you don’t have the money for private incident response. Volunteering to protect our fellow citizens is a national institution in this great country. 4/5

Skilled cybersecurity workers volunteering to support these institutions makes a huge difference even if some feel the work we do is already available elsewhere. The simple fact is many organizations sit below the cybersecurity poverty line and need support. 3/5

The CTI League did not engage in censorship, it focused on protecting the health sector. Despite testimony to congress that it’s ridiculous hospitals need help the hard truth is they do. At least one major hospital per week is hot by a ransomware incident. Incidents at hospitals cost lives. 2/5

I have released a statement about our work in the CTI League. Yesterday I provided this and additional material as testimony to congress. Today we have made our github public and opened up all our files.

Last message from Lukas at the #offensivecon closing ceremony: Taking sides is hard but has to be done. We should all be mindful of how war affects our communities and have each others backs during these difficult times.

My trip to the White House this week involved a lot of discussion about this. Especially the DEFCON bit. I’m excited to see crowd sourcing of AI security. While there are clear challenges, openness is definitely the way. Its also a GREAT opportunity for policymakers to engage and learn.
FACT SHEET: Biden-Harris Administration Announces New Actions to Promote Responsible AI Innovation that Protects Americans’ Rights and Safety | The White House
Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing new actions that will further promote responsible American innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) and protect people’s rights and safety. These steps build on the Administration’s strong record of leadership to ensure technology improves the lives of the American people, and break new ground in the federal government’s ongoing effort…

Im both excited and nervous for this. Allowing communities to have their own federated spaces is a great concept. However we need to avoid balkanisation and the creation of toxic echo chambers.
Hey everyone! Want to let you know we’re not all going to be on bsky.social forever. We’ve been making progress towards federation, and will start off with a sandbox environment to prioritize safety and stability as we move towards distributing out control over the ecosystem.
We'll soon be launching a sandbox environment to begin the testing phase of federation for the AT Protocol with allow-listed servers.

In advance of this launch, here are some technical details about our design decisions.

I wrote an article with Sarah Powazek from Berkeley’s CLTC on how we need state and local resources to defend against cyberattacks. We have one of the most forward leaning National Cybersecurity Strategies, now we need to get boots on the ground to defend our schools, hospitals and businesses.
The key to making the US cyber strategy work: boots on the ground
Prioritizing work with academic institutions, localities and skilled volunteers is the best way of advancing America's cybersecurity needs.
