Before submitting one or more talks to @… 2026, I wrote a blog post based on my 2024 presentation: Bring Back RSS for Operational Security.

Bring Back RSS for Operational Security

#infosec and #networking friends local and abroad, I hope this captures in part what some of you are fearing, sensing, or seeing. There is a lot more one could say, but topically relevant here, an excerpt to locally elected government officials:

Why o why did I surrender to curiosity and peek? ... It seems that five years metaphorically lying down in a darkened room isn't long enough for the fundamental impossibility of #infosec to change or evolve.

#infosec
They've mindlessly set it to be a password entry field so it can't be seen, but the 2FA app I'm copying the code from displays it in a nice large font.
They're checking the box for the sake of checking the box, not because it adds any security.
But at least it's inconvenient for all the users, so the policy has that going for it.

AWS ME-CENTRAL in UAE apparently has been hit.

#infosec annoyance of the day - I use a tool for work that requires me to put in a rolling one-time code for 2fa, and doesn't show the code as I'm typing it.
That would be ok, except if I switch apps to copy the code so I can paste it in, it usually forces me to re-enter my username and password, then even though I'm in the 30 second validity window, it refuses the code.
So I have to wait till the 30 seconds roll over, copy the code, switch to the tool, re-enter my username/password, hope it doesn't take so long to negotiate with the back end that the code in my clipboard expires, then finally paste the code.
Conveniently I only have to do it multiple times a day, every work day.
