So I was going to write a short piece about this, but I'm so plumb out of time, and it would be so weird to put this in Metacurity as a special report that I'm writing a social media thread instead.
Last summer, I wrote a piece about the Coinbase breach based on an extensive conversation I had with the exchange's CSO, Philip Martin, who has serious chops as a cybersecurity guy.

Behind the Coinbase breach: Bribery emerges as enterprise threat
Coinbase’s breach shows how bribery schemes — long used for SIM swaps — can be a potent enterprise attack vector. Experts urge security leaders to add bribery training and red-teaming to their cyber defense toolkits.

To everyone's utter surprise, "AI" people understand neither humans nor computers

The SEC's decision to dismiss its lawsuit against SolarWinds and its CISO, Tim Brown, was met with immediate and widespread joy across the cybersecurity leadership community.
But experts say CISOs should start shoring up their internal defenses in case the policy or legal winds shift again.
Check out my latest CSO piece on what the decision means for CISOs. Many thanks to Joe Sullivan, Gadi Evron, Diana Kelley and Cara Peterman for their insights.

What CISOs should know about the SolarWinds lawsuit dismissal
The SEC’s dismissal of its lawsuit against SolarWinds and its CISO brought widespread relief to cybersecurity leaders and potentially marks a turning point for how regulators, boards, and executives think about cybersecurity accountability.

Trying to get more details on those mass firings at CISA but remember that Russell Vought’s Project 2025 called for demolishing CISA and moving it into the Department of Transportation.
