I agree with that this is a freaking nightmare.
Quote from in context of removal from Apple in UK in expectation of what might happen in the :
"This is is a weapon, we now have a in the United States. This is the time to download some and start paying attention to your privacy because law enforcement's going to go after their enemies." ( See: twit.tv/shows/security-now/epi )

Dear security crowd. Who else is listening to #SecurityNow podcast ?
I always suspected it, but I never thought that the host , Mr Gibson - is serious enough to entertain that Elmo could be of any help. Is Mr Gibson a Trumper? But he's so smart, you may say.. Well, apparently not smart enough.
He perhaps forgot that #cybersecurity industry is full of LGBTQ+ people and folk who openly fight against nazism.
Or should I chill my beans?

First run this fall I needed to put on a beanie and gloves. It’s getting a bit chilly in the morning now. Skipping the audiobook in favor off SN993 with @SGgrc and @leo.
Hard to break off after an hour on the track and head home for a shower and then work, with such exiting topics as in this weeks podcast. Thank you for a great listen, SpinRite 6.1 which resurrected a HDD in my Synology and with the upcoming 999 and beyond. #running #SecurityNow

@SGgrc

Finished another great #SecurityNow show from the #TWiT network.

Questions about #PassKeys:

1) are they / will they be susceptible to quantum?

2) If the company / server side has nothing to keep, doesn't that make the end user the target? Bad guys would rather get many credentials from the server, but if can't will go after people's, yes? Grand[mp]a will lose that fight.

Hey @leo here’s one for the #SecurityNow podcast:

At the end of my electronic check-in on my mobile device for a doctor’s appointment I had to sign all these consent forms (for HIPAA etc.). The last form was an opt-in for the check-in service which was also a medical records service to use my medical information to market stuff to me. It looked a lot like the other consent forms but I caught it and opted out. Really scummy!
