The mythology around hackers is wildly oversold. But defense requires doing it.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/
PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

The Trump admin is laying off nearly 200 CISA employees & forcing dozens more to take new jobs at other agencies (sometimes across the country) or quit.

Morale & productivity are sinking at the already-depleted agency, further jeopardizing US cybersecurity.

My story w/ new details: bit.ly/3KLoptn
Layoffs, reassignments further deplete CISA
Some CISA staffers have been pushed out, while others are being told to move across the country for jobs outside their skill sets.

Hasse es so sehr, dass sowas mittlerweile ohne Konsequenzen gesagt werden kann. Oder auch einfach gelogen wird wie gedruckt. Was soll der Mist?

Mir macht’s echt Sorgen, dass aktuell ne Generation heranwächst für die es komplett normal ist, dass es in der Politik beinahe nichts Unsagbares mehr gibt.
Ein Bundesminister, der den #Rundfunkbeitrag, die zentrale - und vom BVerfG mehrmals mit Verweis auf die Bedeutung des #ÖRR für die Demokratie bestätigte - materielle Grundlage des ÖRR als „Zwangsbeiträge“ verunglimpft, hätte in normalen Zeiten zurücktreten müssen.

One the craziest elements about cybersecurity is you have half the industry sat worrying about cyberwar!1! and going on about quantum and AI, then you have you have the operational reality of what is actually happening on the ground - it bares no resemblance, at all, to what people are focused on.

Mir geht’s nicht mal darum, dass ich oder mein Arbeitsplatz nicht ersetzbar oder einsparbar wäre. Wenn die geneigte Dienstherrlichkeit (übrigens nicht besagter Innenminister oder sein Tanzbereich) keine oder eine andere Verwendung (mehr) für mich hat, ist das so. Mich stört etwas ganz Anderes:

Mein Innenminister möchte nun Personalengpässe in der öffentlichen Verwaltung durch KI auffangen.

Being the person they have to call when the LLM hits its limit and they're running in circles is already the position I and some of my peers are already in.

The problem here is the pipeline. You don't get to my capability, by replacing younger less experienced me with an LLM.

This is gonna be bad.

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
Good thing no one uses Microsoft Excel for anything related to legal, regulatory or compliance business functions
