Random Thoughts Again

Posted on March 2, 2018 By Michael Kavka No Comments on Random Thoughts Again

Another week where I just have been swamped with other things to come up with a great article, ok, maybe a typical mediocre article. Truth be told, it is not easy trying to write every week. I am doing it for a few reasons.

First, writing is important in our field. It is something that has been a weak point for me over the years, at least in my own eyes. What does one do to get better? They practice and do. Hence the writing on this site. Second, it allows me to share with the world. I know I am not a big name superstar, but I at least like to give back, and this is just one way. Third, it allows for me to have something to break and learn with.

Now out in the security world, there was some drama on twitter with a bsides. I won’t post all the details about it, but it was drama and apologies have been put out there. Seems Equifax has found another 2.4 million people affected by its breach. Outside of that it is pretty much business as usual.
