A Counter-Threat Intelligence lead for a major firm, who runs a team penetrating hacker networks to uncover new threats and comments about their company, and this is their reply to this thread. (posted with permission)

The mythology around hackers is wildly oversold. But defense requires doing it.
The first thread is good. It makes sense and is accurate. 9/10 times (and maybe even 10/10) you are not targeted. You are simply an opportunistic victim who was the easiest out of a dozen to run copy/paste commands against. Do the basics of cybersecurity and save yourself a crisis. As for the second thread, you hit it perfectly for me. I am a firm believer of "the person behind the keyboard" a computer is just a tool, a means, an endpoint... what you actually have to realize is the human factor of it all.

They don’t just drive — they bring joy, conversation, and a helping hand to those who need it.

Without them, this scheme wouldn’t exist. We’re proud to celebrate their generosity and spirit today.

💛 Celebrating Cumbria Kindness Day – 13 Nov 2025 💛

Kindness comes in many forms—and in #Caldbeck, it looks like four dedicated volunteers behind the Community Wheels scheme.

These incredible individuals make it possible for others to stay connected, get out & about, & enjoy the beauty of #Cumbria.

Seeing more eyewitness reports about #TrainAttack on the news provides further evidence of bystanders intervening in this incident. It seems that the actions of these “zero-responders” quite possibly saved lives last night

Eye-witness reports of extreme heroism in response to #TrainAttack in Cambridgeshire, UK last night. Man uses own head to protect woman from being stabbed. Evidence of concept of 'zero responders' & shows that people don't tend to 'panic' in emergencies. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

A moment of #Quiet contemplation today as I remember those lost in the #AberfanDisaster 21st October 1966 #BlueTue
#WeekQForQuiet (see ALT)
59 years ago today we witnessed the Aberfan disaster where 116 children & 28 adults perished. A wholly avoidable event that was predicted & anticipated by the whole village. This tragedy played large in my childhood as I was recovering from a life threatening accident. I was 12. Luckily I survived but my abiding memory when I first woke up was the terrible black & white images that have haunted me and the survivors in Aberfan since that day. A minutes silence this morning seems such a small thing in the scheme of things. It's still close to home for me, always reminds me I'm still here. Thoughts are with the families & survivors today 59 years on. This evocative poem by Chris Peregrine chris.peregrine@swwmedia.co.uk/ @Perers71 sums it up. ON THE HILL Disaster comes As no surprise To heaven That ticking bomb of slurry On the hill Came down to bury Children of eleven And leave A happy valley Cold and still They danced their way to school That very morning Their laughter disappearing In the mist Their bodies disappearing Without warning Fresh faces newly washed And newly kissed There is a court convening In the ether To try the people Of the NCB Who knew about the watercourse Beneath the Mounting slag But strove indifferently They're ready now to greet you Smiling still That row of angels sleeping On the hill Chris Peregrine chris.peregrine@swwmedia.co.uk
