This mitigation is critical (esp based on Storm-2603 exploitation) and I expect it’s most-likely to be overlooked: 🔃🔑 Rotate SharePoint Server ASP .NET machine keys • After applying the latest security updates above or enabling AMSI, it is critical that customers rotate…

Why do people keep trying to make this a left vs right issue? Let me reiterate: I don’t care WHO was involved with Epstein - I want them held accountable. If Trump was? Lock him up. If Clinton was? Lock him up. Political. Party. Does. Not. Matter. Here.

Surprised and pleased that security at @flyLAXairport T7 this morning was even faster than my benchmark of @FlyHSV. Less than 3 minutes!

SHAREPOINT ZERO-DAY (HAFNIUM STYLE) RCE ATTACK MITIGATION: USE GROUP POLICY SOFTWARE RESTRICTION POLICIES TO BLOCK THE FILE(S)!!!! Set up a GPO and link it to the OU the SharePoint servers sit in then set it to ENFORCED. Edit the GPO and disable User settings. From there, set…

Patience pays off: @AdamPlantinga's next Kurt Argento Book, HARD TOWN, is $2.99 today on Amazon US. Now I have something to read on the flight home. a.co/d/aPWglrC

Apollo 11. Rarely seen shot of Eagle, the Moon and Earthrise, taken on this day, July 21, 1969. Mike Collin's alternate photo is extremely well known, but this one - shown remastered and cropped - is an absolute beauty!

Using the correct names of Ukrainian cities isn’t just about spelling – it’s about respect and acknowledging of Ukrainian identity and history. Unfortunately, many international media and organizations still use outdated, russified versions – a legacy of imperial narratives that…

Tried a simple test using @grok , @AnthropicAI Claude, @Copilot, and ChatGPT: "are the @BlueAngels or @AFThunderbirds performing in the next 3 weeks?" All 4 made fundamental errors or omissions. Disappointing to see a simple query fumbled like this. paulrobichaux.com/2025/07/13/a-s…
