Geez it's nice to be home 😊 It's nice to live in a home that makes you feel that way when returning from a place as beautiful as Bali 😊 This week's video is dominated by the whole discussion around this tweet: > I love that part of the Microsoft Security Score for Identity in Azure improves your score if you *don't* enforce password rotation, what a sign of the times! Who out there still works somewhere that forces rotation (because "reasons")? pic.twitter.com/a2yQQvNRpa [https://t.co/a2yQQv...

How's this weeks video for a view?! It's a stunning location here in Bali and it's just been the absolute most perfect spot for a honeymoon, especially after weeks of guests and celebrations. But whoever hacked and ransom'd Optus didn't care about me taking time out and I've done more media in the last week than I have in a long time. I don't mind, it's a fascinating story the way this has unfolded and that's where most of the time in this week's video has gone, I hope you enjoy my analysis of w...

Wow, what a week! Of course there's lots of cyber / tech stuff in this week's update, but it was really only the embedded tweet below on my mind so I'm going to leave you with this then come to you from somewhere much more exotic than usual (and I reckon that's a pretty high bar for me!) next week 😎 > Absolutely over the moon to formally make @Charlotte_Hunt_ [https://twitter.com/Charlotte_Hunt_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] a part of our family ❤️ 💍 pic.twitter.com/XfahXElboC [https://t.co/XfahXElboC...

I came so close to skipping this week's video. I'm surrounded by family, friends and my amazing wife to be in only a couple of days. But... this video has been my constant companion through very difficult times, and I'm happy to still being doing it at the best of times 😊 So, with that, I'm signing out and heading off to do something much more important. See you next week. > Taking a bit of time off Twitter while @charlottelyng [https://twitter.com/charlottelyng?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] and I do m...

I'm so excited to see the book finally out and awesome feedback coming in, but I'm disappointed with this week's video. I frankly wasn't in the right frame of mind to do it justice (it's been a very hard road up until this point, for various reasons), then my connection dropped out halfway through and I had to roll to 5G, and now I'm hearing (both from other people and with my own ears), a constant background noise being picked up by the mic. Argh! But, that's the reality of scheduled live str...

The first time I ever wrote publicly about a company's security vulnerabilities, my boss came to have a word with me after seeing my name in the news headlines. One of the worst days I've ever had was right in the middle of the Have I Been Pwned sale process, and it left me an absolute emotional wreck. When I wrote about how I deal with online abuse, it was off the back of some pretty nasty stuff... which I've now included in this book 😊 These are the stories behind the stories and finally,...

Well, after a crazy amount of work, a lot of edits, reflection, and feedback cycles, "Pwned" is almost here: > This better be a sizzling read @troyhunt [https://twitter.com/troyhunt?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] or I'll be crashing the wedding in ways never done before. Also, I thought they'd cancelled Neighbours? 😉❤️ pic.twitter.com/jrYIKtL0Uh [https://t.co/jrYIKtL0Uh] — Mike Thompson (@AppSecBloke) August 30, 2022 [https://twitter.com/AppSecBloke/status/1564740069193310212?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] The...

By all accounts, this was one of the best weekly updates ever courtesy of a spam caller giving me a buzz at the 38:40 mark and struggling with "pwn" versus "porn". It resulted in an entertaining little on-air call and subsequently caused me to go out and register both haveibeeninpwn.com [https://haveibeeninpwn.com/] and haveibeeninporn.com [https://haveibeeninporn.com/]. I figure these will result in much ongoing hilarity the next time I get a call of this nature about one of those domains 🤣 Oh...

Right off the back of a visit to our wedding venue (4 weeks and counting!) and a few hours before heading to the snow (yes, Australia has snow), I managed to slip in a weekly update earlier today. I've gotta say, the section on Shitexpress is my favourite because there's just so much to give with this one; a service that literally ships shit with a public promise of multiple kinds of animal shit whilst data that proves only horse shit was ever shipped, a promise of 100% anonymity whilst the data...

It was all a bit last minute today after travel, office works and then a quick rebuild of desk and PC before doing this livestream (didn't even have time to comb my hair!) So yes, I took a shortcut with the description of this video, but it all worked out well in the end IMHO with plenty of content that wasn't entirely data breach related, but yeah, that does seem to be a bit of a recurring theme in these vids.
