In honor of a particular know-nothing claiming that autistic people will never write a poem, I share this humble offering:
That brainworm in Kennedy's head?
By the time it was found, it was dead.
And with its last breath
Said, "I'm starving to death,
Should've found a ripe autist instead."

Hello everyone! I’m proud and honored to introduce my very first academic white paper through SANS, which discusses the nuances and needs for planning for #ransomware in OT / industrial networks. https://www.sans.org/mlp/ics-ot-malware-and-ransomware/?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=HL-Global&utm_content=1468901_Simple_Framework_Whp_image&utm_campaign=ICS_OT_Malware_Ransomware_2025&utm_rdetail=Global&utm_goal=Leads&utm_type=Global_Campaign&is=be394332d8ab70db9bb29b280bd08c2899042252f80b48f1e01cd5b75d22b1c1
Finally put together a proper story on this funding debacle for MITRE's CVE program.

The federally funded, non-profit research and development organization MITRE warned today that its contract to maintain the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program -- which is traditionally funded each year by the Department of Homeland Security -- expires on April 16."
