The world found out shortly before 2 p.m. eastern time on March 15 that the United States was bombing Houthi targets across Yemen. I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming.

๐ก๏ธ I can confirm this analysis from lcamtuf: How security teams fail
It’s relevant to why I put so much emphasis on cybersecurity strategy, principles, and communications.
Iโve been staying with my Mom while she recovers from surgery, and sheโs been watching the news. It is 99% propaganda, vapid, or irrelevant. Makes me want to go into news.
๐ Still true! If you are doing something in journalism and need cybersecurity help, please let me know!
๐๏ธ๐ Tomorrow Iโm recording for the eXecutive Security Podcast.
My bar for podcasts:
โIs this a better use of my time than an audiobook?โ
So I take this pretty seriously. Hopefully weโll make it worth your listening time.
