Donnie throwing around words like "Will to survive" and "Defend our Civilization" while in Poland. Absolutely nothing to see here

Krasinski Square, dominated by a monument to the 1944 uprising, is considerably smaller than Zamkowy Square, outside the Royal Palace, where President Barack Obama spoke in 2014.

Electrical and mechanical engineers are the people responsible for pretty much all of the problems with critical infrastructure cybersecurity right now. They're the loving people who designed the systems.

Like literally every ICS network that I've worked on has been managed by electrical and mechanical engineers, not network engineers or security engineers. They usually have no idea what they're doing and view it more as a nuisance that distracts them from the rest of their job. Which is true, because it shouldn't BE their job.

What sold me on this was attending last year's SANS ICS summit and listening to the keynote speaker basically give up on fixing the problem and focus on mitigation for the next couple of generations of releases.

It isn't the bean counters, it's that the "cybersecurity" experts that have been hired the last ~15 years only qualifications are the big 3 C certifications that they fudged experience for by saying "I went to Army" or "I was a state trooper", and their primary focus is on bullshitting regulatory compliance so they can get the maximum bonus rating year after year. Also they usually have 9 months as a "consultant" which was basically selling managed services.

The guys and gals who knew their poo poo started in the 70s and largely never made it to management, they're all retiring now and you have a swath of idiotic script fiddlers who don't know the basic foundations of their halfasses Qualys scanning suite or network backbones.

Massive YosPost, yeah- but I started teaching a cyber course at a university adjacent to a huge AFB and its massively depressing how many people I have enrolled who dont know how to do basic network poo poo, but are being recruited for critical roles in private industry after their term is up.

We're hosed unless we start forcing these people to learn their fundamentals and use common sense instead of a Verizon assessment or another loving scanning suite.

Wait, isn't Mindgeek- the holding company for like, ALL tubesites based in Germany?
Couldn't they just severely disrupt the Global Porn Infrastructure by issuing a piece of federal legislation that fucks with Mindgeek and effectively shut everything down by default?

Nah, we're still about 100lbs off. Trump'd have to hit Christie size to match what ol' Willie HT tipped the scales at.

Everyone is screaming at Trump to not punch himself in the dick, and maybe stop touching it on a national stage all together.

Trump doesn't listen to everyone. Trump listens to John Barron.
John Barron sees the fork on the side board and says "Don, you should punch yourself in the dick while holding that fork"
Donald agrees, he invites three reporters from his favorite playmate newspaper to record the whole thing.

Speaking of Tillerson, the State Department is completely dissolving its cybersecurity branch. Note that this isn't the internal security department, but the branch that focuses on cybersecurity diplomatic policy.

Because private sector is absolutely able to fend for itself right? Time to check out your local credit/savings union y'all

Is Donnie having a stroke or something? That seems even more nonsensical than usual.

Either he found an old stash of Dr. Bizzaro's diet pills, or he's caught in some sort of face-saving, base roiling maneuver in preparation to straight up dump Sessions in the next 48 hours. Over the last two months or so, he gets pretty Twitter tough guy before he and his team makes a decision that they know is bad, but feel is utterly critical to the success of their agenda. With the Trans ban dropping this morning, and the angry tweets yesterday morning, I'm kind of nervous to see what's coming next.

Could someone be supplying metallurgical or booster tech to NK on the sly?
I seem to recall Pakistan got implicated/busted doing it in the last 18 months or so.
