This is a big deal. Predatory Sparrow’s past cyber attacks on Iranian steel plants and gas stations have demonstrated tangible effects in Iran. Disrupting the availability of this bank’s funds, or triggering a broader collapse of trust in Iranian banks, could have major impacts there.

Not a lot of people make me look small!
The point guards I played with came to my shoulders. Magic Johnson easily had me in height and reach. Wow. For scale, I’m 6’4” (6’5” in the day) and not a small guy!

I got to testify to the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party last week. One focus area was the threat from TP-Link routers. Having 60% of the US consumer Wi-Fi market flooded with devices that get automatic software updates from the PRC is a risk we can't accept.

Last weekend I got to talk about the light wands I use in my Christmas display and give a live demonstration at Shmoocon. Thanks Carson Zimmerman, official Shmoo photographer, for the awesome pics. You have to do the "we will rock you" soundtrack in your head!

For all my math peeps out there: 2025 is pretty amazing mathematical arrangement.
1. 2025 is a perfect square (45×45=2025)
2. 2025 is the sum of digits of cubes from 1 to 9 (1³ + 2³ + 3³ + ... + 9³ = 2025)
3. 2025 is the first square year after 1936

Got to share on evolving cyber threats & where the new energy is focused in the community. Sean Joyce and Avery Alpha were rock stars on a panel at the PwC Cyber Exchange 2024. Lots of great discussion on supply chain risks, nation state threats, and the hacks targeting our critical infrastructure!
