Well it's all quietened down here with Scott gone so it's back to business as usual, which means, well, it's not very quiet at all! I've been in Sydney this week talking at one of our big banks and as I say in this week's update, getting out there amongst companies dealing with their unique cyber challenges is always interesting:

In other news, Pwned Passwords is going nuts, there's some awesome cyber comments from The Daily Mail (yep, that's right), I'm doing a bunch of re-engineering work on HIBP, there's the ViewFines data breach and a brand new Pluralsight course on bug bounties. I'll still be home next week so will do it all again from here then.
