#2If you don't know who this is, he wrote one of my favourite books on web (browser) security: "The Tangled Web" [1].
Another lesser known book by him is also worth a read: "Silence on the Wire" that takes a look at the full information security stack from the keyboard you type on, to the wires the data transits, to the internet protocols, etc [2] and looking at how each stage exposes/protects data.
And has quite an interesting history in infosec beyond that [3].

This little exchange speaks volumes about what's happening in the the media regarding the tech industry: one company behaves badly and then all get tarred and feathered. Facebook's security leadership starts jumping ship, and when someone analogous from Google, a completely different organization with a completely different (i.e. existent) moral compass and set of security practices leaves his post for unstated reasons at about the same time, the world assumes a similar scandal is on the way.

#4Among his many achievements, popularizing instrumented, legit data mutating, fuzzing (afl-fuzz) which revolutionized vulnerability research.
And his guerilla-CNC guide is also an awesome ressource.
Very curious about what he does next.

Has the New York Times actually published an article about this? Until that happens I think you’re denouncing a phenomenon that doesn’t exist.

He also had a pretty popular post here a while back about prepping for doomsday [1], interesting read.

I loved Silence on the Wire (your [2]) - really changed my perspective on how much we "give away" passively

#10A tweet from a middle manager changing jobs doesn’t seem at all newsworthy. Are people reading more into this than they should be?
