Tuesday, January 20, 2015. I got it right! My timing was just off). I was looking at my old posts and found this prediction from 2009 for 2009:.

The many high profile attacks last year where credit card information is stolen are, IMHO, the dead cat bounce of this kind of attack.

Monday, May 20, 2013. A more positive and comprehensive SABSA Strength-in-depth Strategy. Extending SABSA's Strength-in-Depth Strategic Controls]. SABSA is brilliant.

Security Thoughts: What if - trams actually turned into rhinos?
http://securethink.blogspot.com/2012/10/what-if-trams-actually-turned-into.html
Friday, October 5, 2012. What if - trams actually turned into rhinos? Anyone who has spent enough time in Melbourne would have caught a tram and would have probably seen this poster:. It is a warning on the how dangerous it could be to be hit by a tram published in the interests of passenger safety by Yarra Trams. My brain did a bit of a wobble and came up with this question:. What would happen if magically each of the trams in Melbourne were to turn into 30 actual rhinos? Population is less than 60.

Security Thoughts: LinkedIn ethics
http://securethink.blogspot.com/2013/11/linkedin-ethics.html
Wednesday, November 27, 2013. TL/DR version: Is it ethical to "connect" with an interviewer on LinkedIn during the hiring process? As a professional and a contractor, my name is my most important asset. So therefore ethics are everything to me. This is especially important because of the fact that I am an Information Security professional and usually have access to information that is confidential. I need. More recently, it has become so normal to "research" the interviewers to the point that if you don't.
