You know when you see news articles about hacks of password databases or critical vulnerabilities in popular software, they usually quote a "CVE" number that officially identified the issue and allowed it to be defined precisely, and tracked? Well that's gone as of today. Looks like the trump regime has cancelled one off the foundational authorities on cybersecurity, the CVE or Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures program, without explanation. Basically the whole of "tech" relies on this, but I guess it's just America supporting the rest of the world, so it has to go. #cybersecurity #cybersec #cve #vulnerability #VulnerabilityDatabase

@joeo10 Companies that have shown up in the CVE database should be petitioned to support the program that they are undoubtedly benefitting from.

I know for a fact that my past customers never read vendor security alerts, but when CVE’s mention products they have in house, their #infosec #cybersec teams are all over us to mitigate/patch immediately. I don’t think I got 4 hours sleep the week after Log4j got assigned its CVE #.

Password managers might be in competition with each other, but they also have one shared rival: "Magic" login links that get sent to your email.

Login links are inherently less secure, and also assume that your email is secure—even though statistics show most people stay logged into their emails on multiple devices.

💡 Use email + password + MFA whenever possible.

Helping a friend with a job search, and I'm (still) shocked by how many places ask for other people's phone numbers.

Asking for references is reasonable, but email should suffice. Should they want to speak to references over the phone, it's up to the reference to give that out.

But at no point should you be handing out other people's phone numbers.

Even handing yours out to a system that lives who-knows-where is iffy.
