  • Full Disclosure. Companies need to disclose a breech early on, researchers need to disclose vulnerabilities to vendors companies fully and vendors need to respond responsibly.

    I like turtles.

    I’ve got this sort of downy hair developing on my chest — is that normal? Also, I get so lonely and confused. I’ve written a poem about it; maybe you’ll understand. “Why do nice girls hate me?”
    Or did you have a more narrow scope of topics in mind?

    I think I will go off and register EmoInfoSec.com.

    Companies need to disclose their breeches early on, so we can see what color they are. Also, their security breaches. Before they get too big for their britches.
    (Now that I think of it, does a mohel carry around a bris kit?)

  • Shameless plug, of sorts.
    Considering the contributors to this blog often discuss security in terms of economics, I’m curious what you (and any readers educated on the topic) think about the utility of using prediction markets to forecast compromises. I have no idea if this will mature into a full-fledged project or not; at this point I’m just seeking input.

    I disclose that I’m not wearing breeches, I’m wearing trousers.

    I don’t get it. What do you mean? Open Thread?

    More breach data means more research for me to do as a PhD student. Thus, breach data is a great way to keep a poor starving college student well fed and off the streets.

    I like turtles too.
    My son has this sort of downy hair developing on his head. Apparently this is perfectly normal for a boy of his young age.
    There was a story in the local newspaper about a guy who recently got 6 months probation and 200 hours community service for “full disclosure” in a public place.
    We had a breech here. Sometimes, when riff-raff strayed too close, we would stuff it full of gun powder, wadding and rock-salt and unlock the flint!

    Congrats on being named to the Industry Standard top 25 B-to-Z list blogs! And speaking of The Difference, did you notice the gender ratio of the bloggers? Several others did. There’s discussion both in the original thread, and in Gender, race, age, and power in online discussions, chapter n on Liminal States.
