GRC and blue teamer with a love of baseball. Starting fresh here from the bird site and hoping I get better at being involved as a community member.
I found an interesting Microsoft Recall issue with the latest version - Recall is enabled on my PC, but the tray icon (bottom right) saying it is running is missing.
Edit: after a reboot, it's back. I'll keep an eye on it. After the latest Windows Update the UI wasn't visible, but it was still recording.
Aflac with a Friday 8-K.
On June 12, 2025, Aflac Incorporated, a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), identified unauthorized access to its network. The Company promptly initiated its cybersecurity incident response protocols and believes that it contained the intrusion within hours. The Company’s business remains operational, and its systems were not affected by ransomware. The Company continues to serve its policyholders as it responds to this incident and can underwrite policies, review claims, and otherwise service customers as usual. The Company has engaged leading third-party cybersecurity experts to support the Company’s response to the incident.

I started a meetup for OT cyber in Melbourne if anyone wants to go. They said I could use the office and buy beer 🤷🏻‍♀️ https://www.meetup.com/melbourne-ot-cybersecurity
Microsoft Teams wants permission to DIAL EMERGENCY SERVICES? I hate customer meetings too but that is not a healthy coping mechanism
FYI, If you own a bowflex 552 dumbell set be on the lookout for an email about a recall. The 1050 series and 552 series are modular dumbells that are being recalled because the plates can slip out of the housing. There's a form you fill out, they ship you a box to return the defective gear, and you get a prorated voucher to buy other shit.
Not ideal, but I don't need another concussion from a weight dropping on me.
The only names I know on here are CC and Jennie Finch. It’s amazing all the new ways that materialize naturally that help make me feel old.

Picard management tip: Expecting people to work long hours is short-sighted, counter-productive, and potentially dangerous.
You asked to connect on LinkedIn, okay fine.
Then you sent me an immediate direct message.
Followed by a call to my work number almost immediately after and which isn’t on my profile.
So, that’s a block and do not work with.
Also, you’re trying to sell me the service my company is in the business of delivering itself, so clearly you didn’t do any research on me beyond most basic.
Day 2 of full-time remote working and opted to do an old school PBJ, which I had to abandon as a work lunch staple when in the office.
THIS JUST IN!!!
