This is a cool advance, but also some top-notch nightmare fuel.

Makes me think of the chemical the Panther Moderns pretended they put in the Sense/Net building water supply during Molly’s run.

“The intravenous drug deactivates the uterine sensitization-associated gene-1 (USAG-1) protein that suppresses tooth growth. Blocking USAG-1 from interacting with other proteins triggers bone growth and, voila…”

I'm not an AI-hater; there are valid uses, and some possible game-changing ones if we do it right.

@mozilla building in auto alt-text generation private and on-device is awesome.

Spending part of today wondering what I should be when I grow up.

Being 40+ years old, I might be a little behind the curve on this one.

I’m flying to Boston via Dallas Fort Worth for the first time next week. Any tips for the transit?

@kcarruthers Assuming Boston is your destination, hope you have a lovely time.

@kcarruthers Ohhhhh yes. There's a fantastic historical walking tour if you're able, but either way, so much to see.

Also try the seafood if you're a seafood fan.

Catching up on my podcasts while I'm on a plane, on a plane, on a plane (SEA -> BOS after a few days at HQ). It was really neat to hear @NotTheLinux talk to Joe Slowik, and then David Goldschlag of Aembit along with DomainTools CISO Daniel Schwalbe.

David and Daniel had a great technical and practical discussion, and I'm not just saying that because Daniel's my boss. (But I am partly saying it because he's my boss, let's be honest...)

For my fellow podcast-loving cyber friends, the Modern War Institute (which has long done quality defense-related podcasts) has launched a new podcast series, "CTRL ALT ARMY."

Hosted by the principal cyber advisor to the secretary of the Army, but features conversations with non-cyber Army leaders about how cyber affects them and their work.

Wow. Per @SeamusHughes, a huge source of leaked Social Security numbers is none other than the U.S. federal courts filing system, PACER.

My latest work post is up!

I charged through Dmitri Alperovitch and Garrett M. Graaf's book "World on the Brink: How America Can Beat China in the Race for the Twenty-First Century" and found it a great, practical contribution to critically necessary discussions on how to navigate some of the most complex problems of our twenty-first century.

This @TalosSecurity post on newly-named APT LilacSquid is great. Lots of technical detail laid out in a very progressive way.

In playing with the Network IOCs I noticed something that I don't think was mentioned though. I expect each IP is primarily there for torguard reasons, but passive DNS also shows 3 of the 4 IPs have QNAP and/or Synology NAS records as well.

Maybe unrelated, but interesting for a data theft actor.

That Geoff White guy is absolutely rocking the promotion of his new book "Rinsed", all about money laundering. I thought I could hide in this launderette to escape from it, but no such luck!

Seriously, delighted to get my hands on a copy of "Rinsed" - and I'm confident it will be just as gripping a read as @geoffwhite247's "Crime dot com" and "The Lazarus Heist."

Oh this new one from @dangoodin is wild. Connects the dots between a great report from Lumen on an unnamed destructive event and the real-world happening that bricked 6-7 figures of an ISP's home routers.

Anyone have a good IOC IP list for RaspberryRobin?

(Starting to search now, but worth asking. External request from a pal, not an internal investigation)
