That’s a wrap on Day 1 of Black Hat USA! Thanks to all who connected with us and made the time fly by. We’ll be back for more action tomorrow! #HumanCentricSecurity#BHUSA
Congratulations, Proofpoint team, for a fantastic showing at Black Hat. Looking forward to continuing the momentum as we head into #ProofpointProtect this fall.
A caddis hatch can produce bugs ranging in sizes from #12-#20. All caddis have wings that lay down in a pup tent like formation. They are easily mistaken for moths. The color variation is wide too. The larvae can range in color from bright green, dark olive, beige, brown, black, and orange. The adults are typically brown, black, tan, light olive, dark olive, or orange.
I actively try to buy companies in my niche industry. I can see their books and compare them with my own company's books and not to boast but we operate far better than anyone else I've seen. Some of that's luck. Some of it is hard work. But another key part of it is that we seek out our errors and rub our noses all in them. We meticulously study our mistakes. There is no room for pride and ego; we just want to improve our performance, make customers happy, and beat everyone else competing with us.
LuXout is a microcosm of what society could be if we do the same on a broader scale. Even now there's a campaign to suppress the horrid realities of our history and only talk about the nice things in USA history. The Tulsa Race Riot was simply not taught in school. Neither was Seneca Village in New York, Rosewood in Florida, East Saint Louis in Illinois, COINTELPRO or any other push for the destruction of my American people. People think that teaching these things will spark revenge but the data from the last 405 years negate that. Revenge isn't the goal. Learning from the past is the goal. And it's in our collective interest to remember exactly how we got here and both the good and bad decisions made along the way as it helps us make the most of the decisions before us today. So never forget #Greenwood.
Rest in power to #BlackWallStreet. It is my career's mission to either "Zerubabbel" or uplift the ones called to lead the build back. And whatever we don't complete in my generation, my son's will do in his.

As we mark the 103rd anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre this weekend, we are reminded of a chapter in our history that is both painful and profound. Over a century ago, the thriving community of #Greenwood, known as Black Wall Street, was decimated by a violent mob. The tragedy left hundreds dead and thousands homeless and also destroyed one of the United States’ most prolific symbols of Black prosperity. Many community members were forced to flee and start over, including my ancestors.
Though a story of loss, there remains a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of the Black community. Reflecting on #Tulsa, we honor the lives that were lost and celebrate the spirit of Greenwood. The community built something extraordinary, against all odds. Its legacy lives on as a symbol of what is possible when determination meets opportunity.
As we remember, we must also commit to action. The fight for #justice and #equality continues, and it is incumbent upon us to ensure that the horrors of Tulsa are never forgotten and never repeated. Today, we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us and carry the responsibility of building a future where every community can thrive. As we look to the future, let’s draw strength from the past. Learn more.

Yesterday, I indicated a claim by Black cat. Today I see an article from The Register(https://lnkd.in/gmk5vUXX) which is discussing the same. Additionally, as mentioned in one of my previous posts "Citrix Bleed" has led to many major attacks recently. In this attack same vulnerability seems to be the Achilles heel again. Organizations must take its patching at highest importance.
Key points from the article include(AI generated):
1. **Cybersecurity Incident Confirmation**: FNF confirmed a "cybersecurity incident" in an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stating that it had to shut down several systems. This disruption affected various business areas, including title insurance, escrow, and other real estate and mortgage transaction services.
2. **Financial Impact**: FNF, with over $11 billion in total revenue in 2022, is a major underwriter of title insurance and provider of transaction services in the US real estate and mortgage industries. The material impact of the incident on the company's trade has not been disclosed yet.
3. **Claim of Responsibility**: The ransomware group ALPHV/BlackCat claimed responsibility for the attack. However, they have not disclosed details about the data they might have accessed.
4. **Operational Disruptions**: The attack has caused significant disruptions, with companies and home buyers in the US experiencing delays in closing purchases.
5. **Possible Entry Point**: Security experts speculate that the attack might have exploited a critical vulnerability in Citrix Netscaler devices, known as "CitrixBleed" (CVE-2023-4966). This vulnerability has been widely used by ransomware groups, including LockBit, which also targeted Boeing.
6. **Ongoing Investigations**: FNF is currently investigating the incident and assessing the impact. The company is working to restore normal operations as quickly and safely as possible.
7. **Wider Implications**: The attack highlights the growing threat of ransomware attacks on major infrastructure and businesses, emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity measures.
The article underscores the severity of ransomware attacks and their potential to disrupt major businesses and critical infrastructure. It also highlights the importance of timely patching of known vulnerabilities to prevent such attacks.
Summary:
Do not believe everything that is up on the internet. AI is getting improved and updated every day but it's still a long way for AI to actually code, debug and optimize the way SDEs do.

Did you know that if you put 100 black ants and 100 red ants in a jar, nothing will happen? But if you shake the jar hard, the ants start killing each other. The red ants consider the black ants their enemies, and the black ants consider the red ants their enemies. The true enemy is the one shaking the jar. The same thing happens in human society. So, before we attack each other, we should think about who is shaking the jar!

Today is the 103rd anniversary of the #TulsaRaceMassacre in Oklahoma, a horrendous display of hate that forever altered the course of history. From May 31-June 1, 1921, a White mob in Tulsa violently stormed the prosperous Black community of Greenwood known as #“BlackWallStreet” and engaged in looting, burning down of homes and businesses, and indiscriminately attacked and murdered Black Residents. Those responsible for protecting Greenwood, the National Guard, and local authorities, actively participated in the atrocities. As I reflected on the profound lessons this #Massacre offers the world today, I recall my 2022 interview in Ghana with #ViolaFletcher, now 110 and the oldest living survivor of the Massacre. #MotherFletcher, as she is affectionately known to African Americans, is an inspiring pillar of resilience, forgiveness, faith, and endurance in the face of adversity -- these are lessons for the world. Her book says it all “Don’t Let Them Bury My Story.” I pay tribute to her today and the community of the #GreenwoodDistrict of #Tulsa, Oklahoma. Before it was taken away in a systemic failure of justice, this community demonstrated that economic empowerment, entrepreneurship, and excellence against all odds are achievable. Humans tend to forget, but humanity remembers. As we commemorate this anniversary, let us honor the legacy of Black Wall Street by building a future together where life, liberty and prosperity are accessible to all. Refuse to bury the stories!

Interesting parallels between the #JoelOlsteen shooting Sunday and the #ShinzoAbe assassination, both targeting centers of #ProsperityTheology; a perhaps misrepresentation of historical Calvinism that faithfully giving money begets receiving wealth, if only you give enough, and to the right person, often associated in #CounterExtremism circles with #MilitantProtestantism. Basically turning religion into a #PyramidScam or casino that has bankrupted many vulnerable people around the world, including the Abe shooter's own family.
Very arguably we are on the downstroke of 20-teens #internet- and #media-driven mass #extremism, not dis-similarly to the dramatic drop in popular protest of a similar period, declining between #Woodstock (Aug 69), that went relatively well as a high-watermark of a popular morality movement, the #AltamontSpeedwayConcert (Dec 69), trying to duplicate Woodstock just a few months later, that went downhill, riddled with crime, multiple murders, car thefts, etc, the #GratefulDead even refusing to take the stage (Keep on truckin', guys), to #KentState (May 70), and its arguably fringe-leftist reprisal targeting the ROTC office in the #SterlingHallBombing (Aug 70); countervailing extremisms within months of each other.
This rapid decline taking the wind out of the sails of popular support for civil unrest entering the 70s. #HunterSThompson wrote about some of this in his book, #FearAndLoathing, not seen in Gilliam's screen adaptation; just as so-called protest music's often-criticism of protestors went unnoticed (Beatles, Buffalo Springfield, etc).
It's interesting to consider if the coming few years of what will be general moderation in an electorate, twisted by the loudest voices into extremist messages by those whom stand to profit the most, will see a decline in such church attendance, at least foreseeably; the masses whom were enticed into these bankruptcy circles rising up against the leaders whom led them astray. And would that translate to other institutions around the world, the public tiring of the hysterics.
I personally don't have an interest for religion in my life, but the Olsteen's of the world would be wise to consider Matthew 21:12: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you’re turning it into a gathering place for thieves!”
Or even 6:5-6: “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others... when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen."
Mister pop-Texas everyman, #RonWhite, had an opinion about it himself. And we're seeing this in the pessimism in the polls; less about approval of individuals and more about disapproval of the rhetoric of politics en sum.

Today is the 103rd anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, the whi!te supremacist terrorist attack that devastated the burgeoning Black Wall Street. But for many Americans, HBO’s “Watchmen” series, which premiered in 2019, was the first time they heard of the deadly and tragic event.
That it takes a television series to inform the public about one of the gravest atrocities in American history is both damning for our public education system and a testament to the power of pop culture to educate the masses.
Five years since its premiere, the Watchmen series continues to powerfully illuminate the racist ideas and policies baked into American society. In fact, the whole premise of the show rests on the belief that we can and must take actionable steps toward racial repair and justice in our communities.
This is the power of pop culture to educate and inspire people toward a better future free from racism and white supremacist violence. Dive deeper into the connections between Watchmen, white supremacy, and the #PowerofPop: https://lnkd.in/eHtZNpSg
