Love this Furies song. Great one for singing over a trad session in Dublin

Yeah true. Pretty hard to figure out that accurately from open sources.

Possibly. I guess you can't remove the idea that the information was found through some open means. For all we know the private jets of the Cisco leaders might have been in the same location as those from Splunk.

Thanks for that!

Anyone also used Synology Photos and able to compare it's functionality to this? Which is better?

You could do that with Photoshop already.

Blackmail as an intelligence recruitment technique, especially with something so fake, is really very limited in it's utility.

Yeah it's actually really surprising how different pubs are in Ireland vs most of the UK.

Lol. Sure. M247 Ltd limited hosts...

Well said. I work on engineering stuff but I spend a huge amount of time encouraging people to understand the other parts of the business and their needs.

I'm gonna be honest. I still think that Star Wars 4/5/6 looks so much more authentic than 7/8/9 because it didn't have as much CGI ability so the use of models etc was more important.

1/2/3 is the worse examples as the CGI quality was particularly bad. Let's not even start about Jar Jar.

Agreed. I lived in London and moved back to Dublin. Even with the high costs in Ireland and taxes, tech salaries are now moving way ahead of London (which is not a cheap city).

I have flown out of there recently and this would have been terrible advice. Really bad queues for bag drop and security.

Unfortunately AI is far more likely to make global conflict worse.

Easily. It's one of their most used functions.

I'm confused a little by this. I get that AI can be useful in making honeypots seem more real but the documentation doesn't explain what exactly the GPT-3 is adding?

It's an incredible plane and only going to get better.

Also a great budget to bury black projects...

No it's not standard practice. It's done in some companies but not that many. For those firms that do this, most waive it for redundancies.

You think code or manage is the only way a social media company works? What about content policy? What about sales (you know, the thing that lays the bills)?

I used to work around there. Couldn't agree more. On two different occasions over the course of a year I spotted robberies about to occur and reported them to the police. On one other occasion I spotted a surveillance team following individuals there. No way in hell would I wanna work in those stores. Not worth it.

Worth remembering that this despite people's opinions. This person continues to be innocent until they are proven guilty. They may even actually be innocent. However unlikely it may sound.

Hey there is an Irish company doing some pretty amazing work on Tinnitus relief. You should take a look at their product here https://www.lios-group.com/soundrelief

I think documentation will be one of the first places we see it used a lot. I say this because today I'm writing documentation about how to use sprints, Jira and projects within our company today. I've written over 50 percent with the help of ChatGPT. Lets me focus on the less boring written stuff.

I'm still amazed that Twitter acqi-hired Moxie and Whisper Systems years before everyone else...yet it still doesn't have e2e.

Israel also very blatantly does it.

The US does it also. Can't remember the exact number but contracts above 150 million can occasionally be "helped along" by national level assets.

Unfort not

Really needs Ireland in here

Cough...PRISM...Cough

You might also like Umbrella App -> https://www.secfirst.org. It builds on SSD plus also includes physical security stuff.

Good questions.

So at the moment the advice we give is not country specific. We have slightly different levels depending on risk, threat model and skill. Building a logic to do country by country was something we tried but is incredibly hard.

Our revenue model is based on a few things. We got grants to build the initial version, we also create paid white label versions for organisations that want their own and we do security training and consultancy services.

Regarding NSO Group. Well considering we work every day with journalists and activists, some of whom have been targeted by NSO...to say we despise what NSO does is probably an understatement.

Hi there.

Seeing as you are in DRC. I've worked on a number of projects there. Maybe you might be interested in checking out an app we made to help NGO/media etc learn about and manage their digital and physical security? Lots of groups on the ground there have used it in situations like kidnap, targeted malware etc.

It's called Umbrella. It's free, opens source, on ios and Android available in many languages. If you are interested, have a look at at https://www.secfirst.org or ping me via the email in my profile! :)
