Confusion sells. Simplicity doesn’t. And that’s no accident—it’s a damn business model. IMPORTANT RANT ALERT – This post calls out vendors, “experts”, and so-called professionals. It’s VERY important to note, that many vendors, experts, and professionals in our industry are good (“good” is subjective, of course). Here, I’m calling out the bad examples, purposeful or not. So, any offense taken is only meant for those…
Hope you had a wonderful Independence Day (July 4th)! We’ve gone through a lot together in this country, and I love this place we call home. Lots to do in making the USA better, but this will always be the case. This is the best country in the world, and I’m grateful! In case you missed it, two big events last week; the Kaseya ransomware…
It’s been a few weeks since I posted show notes, and even then, I’m late! If you working in the information security industry, you’re probably extremely busy. My busyness is what’s kept me from updating show notes and things. Episode 137 was a fun one. Brad was back and we talked about all Microsoft’s recent blunders/issues.

Happy Tuesday! It’s time to get ready for another episode (#121) of the UNSECURITY Podcast! Not sure if you caught it last week, but there was an open U.S. Senate hearing on Tuesday (2/23). The hearing was titled “Hearing on the Hack of U.S. Networks by a Foreign Adversary” and lasted about two and a half hours. The hearing was about the events surrounding the…
OK, we’re back to writing UNSECURITY Podcast show notes. We took eight weeks off from writing show notes because it was a little tedious and we weren’t sure if anyone cared that much anyway. Turns out people care about the show notes, read them, and they want them back! To make things less tedious and more valuable, we’ll only tell you the topics we plan…
Welcome! These are the show notes for episode 110 of the UNSECURITY Podcast. We’re putting the Information Security @ Home series on hold again this week. In case you didn’t know, it seems we have a big problem on our hands. Over the course of this last week (or so), we’ve witnessed events in our industry that we’ve not seen before, in terms of magnitude…
