Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, Systems Engineer, Papa, and eccentric individual.
I am constantly conflicted with building my LinkedIn and online persona, and my desire for privacy and anonymity.
Reading: Future Crimes
I was inspired to write a list of basic tips that I could give out to friends and family on trying to mitigate the worst of the security and privacy threats I suspect they are oblivious to. Turns out the author Marc Goodman already started such a list.
By no means is he the first to do this, or will he ever be the last, but the UPDATE acronym (if he coined it) is a useful idea and is easy enough to digest that I’ll point people to this as a starting point.

Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World’s First Digital Weapon [Kim Zetter]
Top cybersecurity journalist Kim Zetter tells the story behind the virus that sabotaged Iran’s nuclear efforts and shows how its existence has ushered in a new age of warfare—one in which a digital attack can have the same destructive capability as a megaton bomb.
This book served as an excellent guide to understanding the timeline of Stuxnet. It goes deeper into the possible implications of *why* Stuxnet was as insidious as I always suspected. I learned more about the cyber weapon from this book than I did in 5 years of reading anecdotes and articles online. Sometimes nothing beats great research and a well written book.
