"For the first time since we began tracking zero-day exploitation, we attributed more zero-days to commercial surveillance vendors than to traditional state-sponsored cyber espionage groups."
Love to see the stats backing up my hunch.

Time to share this again. You know why I'm sharing this.
One can only hope it operates with altruistic intentions as opposed to controlling intentions.
Understanding RP IDs (Relying Party IDs) is critical to deploying passkeys correctly and gaining the benefit of phishing-resistant authentication. This post by Eiji Kitamura is a good deep-dive for those looking to #UsePasskeys.

I'm not entirely sure how they did it, but they've completely cleared the streets around my office in Midtown #NYC.
They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk
We should obviously pay attention to anything that Brian Krebs refers to as "a remarkable evolution in phishing". The imperative to modernize the security stack gets clearer every day. #UsePasskeys #DBSC #Signals

I can be angry about rising fascism and also angry about facial recognition built into surveillance glasses at the same time, not only because these things are directly related, but because I contain fucking multitudes and all them are mad all the goddamn time.
Excellent, approachable article about passkeys. "Passwords suck" indeed.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"
In my latest blog for the @fidoalliance.bsky.social, I explore how open, phishing-resistant authentication (#passkeys), FIDO Device Onboard (#FDO), and emerging Bare Metal Onboarding (#BMO) support the principles laid out in the UK NCSC’s Secure Connectivity Principles for OT guidance. #Resilience
A couple of weeks ago, at the @makeidbetter.bsky.social + @fidoalliance.bsky.social “Identity, Authentication and the Road Ahead 2026” policy forum, the Chief Privacy Officer for the State of Utah gave a talk about #SEDI, and it's potential within the #DigitalIdentity and #Privacy ecosystem.
One of my open source colleagues presented on our current progress with passkeys on Linux!

Thanks for presenting, Alfie! I'm glad to be working with you. :)
@techpolicypress.bsky.social was kind enough to host my reflections on just how far we’ve already come with AI-assisted content moderation.
We’ve got a long way to go, but the difficulties that used to serve as (legitimate) excuses are fading fast.

Malicious browser extensions that steal account credentials and hijack sessions aren’t new.
But in the agentic era, this is about to become a design relied upon by good actors as well. It’s imperative that the #identity +

It is awesome to see one of the most vital parts to the world’s information ecosystem protected by passkeys. #WikipediaAt25 #UsePasskeys

Libraries are amazing. And vital.
Seems to me that *any* technology that requires forced adoption and injection into every single arena, whether users want it or not, is the definition of not ready.
There is a lot of value in what has been built. Let folks figure out how to use it productively and in a way that creates actual value.
Behind that o-line, no one could survive.

"Paywalled" is the word you're looking for. They didn't turn it off. The only thing that changed is X now explicitly makes money off CSAM.
Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says amandascgorman Minneapolis, Minnesota For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose, Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been. Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love * better angels of our nature.
Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.
