ICYMI, to my knowledge the only publicly available news clip from the time of the first ever #ransomware attack, back in 1989. At the time it was described as “high tech terrorism”.

Doing preparation for an AppSec role interview. It's amazing how my brain can still identify "The Code Mistake" so quickly with it being so long since I've audited, or even read, code. Despite focusing on fiction writing I guess I've still got it.

That’s a very attractive red shirt you’re wearing Admiral Bradley
If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.
