January 22, 2013 Added by:Dave Shackleford
Last year, I put out a call to the infosec community on Twitter for some new ideas on electronic music and Sci Fi books in the “cyberpunk” genre. Tons of you responded, and I wanted to capture this in a blog post to share the feedback...

False Flag Phishing
November 15, 2012 Added by:Alan Woodward
There is a form of phishing becoming more common on Twitter that is likely to fool even the most suspicious of users. I very nearly fell for it myself. What stopped me? Unlike me, the person who purportedly sent me the message doesn’t make the sort of spelling mistakes that were in the message...

September 03, 2012 Added by:Rebecca Herold
At the end of July, Twitter suspended the account of Guy Adams, a reporter for the UK’s Independent, after he posted the corporate email address of Jim Bell, Producer of NBC Olympics, and said less than flattering things about his expectations for how NBC would do in their Olympics coverage.

Psychopathy Tweets: Too Many Statistics, Not Enough Proof of Concept
August 01, 2012 Added by:Scot Terban
What I came out with, after many slides of numbers, was “nope not really”, which I pretty much had thought before. There are just too many variables to this type of venture and you would need to have a trained psychoanalyst to talk to the individual to determine whether or not they are a true psychopath...

An Urgent Message to My Supporters
July 27, 2012 Added by:ʞɔopuooq ʇuıɐs
On this first day of Defcon, it appears my @th3j35t3r twitter account has been suspended. Coincidence? Probably not. We all know I have some pretty desperate enemies who will stop at nothing to see me inconvenienced, discredited or otherwise annoyed. So here’s the upshot...

Detecting Psychopathy via Tweets? A Flawed Premise...
July 25, 2012 Added by:Scot Terban
It seems to me that more and more we are being collectively mined not only for our habits, but now our emotions as well as our psychological makeups. All of this could potentially be collated from numerous sources. I doubt we will ever be able to contextualize the human psyche just from internet datum…

Take Social Media Privacy into Your Own Hands
July 23, 2012 Added by:Bill Mathews
I've gotten in a lot of arguments lately about the end-user side of technology - privacy. Many in the security industry already know most of the things people are discovering, and have screamed warnings from the mountaintops to the folks below. Alas, this is the woe of being a security engineer...

Updates: Rumors of Anonymous Hacking th3j35t3r's Accounts Overblown
July 11, 2012 Added by:ʞɔopuooq ʇuıɐs
About the twitter ‘takeover’. I have to say that was clever. Even though my account wasn’t actually breached per se. The folks behind this latest attempt found an auto-RSS/Email to tweet script that uses the Twitter API and worked out a way to post to my account without actually having any physical access. Kudos...

I Know What You Tweeted Last Summer...
July 04, 2012 Added by:Theresa Payton
We have mentioned before that Twitter will send every tweet to the National Archives and the Library of Congress, so watch what you tweet. Now new tools unleash a trove of data in moments. For the 140 million and growing user base that tweets over 400 million tweets per day, this might be a little more than alarming...

Twitter Commits to Respecting Do Not Track with New Policy
May 21, 2012 Added by:Electronic Frontier Foundation
This doesn’t mean Twitter will stop collecting all data on you. They’ll still be able to collect aggregate data about your browsing habits for analytics and security, but they won’t set a cookie and they won’t use data to suggest users to you or for tailoring your Twitter experience...

Not Totally Sure What Just Happened...
May 16, 2012 Added by:ʞɔopuooq ʇuıɐs
As I watched, the conspiracies mounted – one of my favorites is that Smedley is in fact me and I am cashing out or something, so I decided to up the ante. I (probably stupidly in hindsight) unpublished my blog posts and deactivated my twitter to lend credibility to Smedley's claims...
