Hello new world! I'm mostly lurking for my daily dose of (#infosec) news, witty quips, and animal pics. But might occasionally post conf/job/paper announcements. Happy to be here and stay connected with folks, this place seems much nicer than the other one 🖤

Our new Android attack, #TapTrap, is getting media coverage — so here's a quick explainer.
It's a new tapjacking technique that exploits Android's UI animations to hijack user taps without requiring any permissions. @beerphilipp.bsky.social will present it at #USENIX Sec'25.

What she said! Can we please stop being so US-centric as a community? I understand that it is hard for US-based people to leave the US right now but for anyone else going to the US for a conference always has been tricky, now more so than ever.
And pretty please, let's move S&P from San Francisco and NDSS from San Diego. Thanks 😘
Given problems with scientists entering the USA perhaps moving Crypto from Santa Barbara would be the first step to think about....

The reason DEI exists is so that competent, qualified people don't get passed over in favor of mediocre incompetent white men who had a well-connected buddy.
Or so that utter morons who share war plans on the group chat don't hire their brother and get away with it bc they're white dudes.
