A hashtag for asking questions to the infosec Fediverse

What does the #infosec / #cybersecurity (or infosec-adjacent) community think of “establishing” a go-to hashtag for asking infosec-related questions? Something like #AskSecFedi or #AskFediSec? Personally I think the latter has a better ring to it but curious what others think. I’ve seen a lot of people in the community ask...

The basics of infosec are not basic

@[email protected] I’ve always said something very similar with regard to infosec disciplines that many regard as “junior” or “easy”. Vulnerability Management is one such role that I think is pretty easy to get started in (and many in security do) and for many considered to just be something that is...

Exhausted by social platform cheerleading

@jcrabapple The problem (to me) isn’t even that it is “half baked”, moreso that it isn’t really even “Federation” in the sense that people are expecting (i.e. like Mastodon/AP/Fediverse), as well-described in this thread (which I think you’ve probably seen). The annoyance comes from the bsky cheerleaders who now point...
