RE: https://infosec.exchange/@crp/115544246500572059

A week ago I was complaining about not being able to change my username on Mastodon and we had a couple of conversations with @jerry who explained that I could try to change it directly manually but with the risk of having consequences and strange behaviors in terms of followers and account data.
He did it today, changed my username to one I had chosen, and everything seems to be working fine. We'll see if anything goes wrong; I haven't checked it in detail yet.
Ultimately, it's about testing and using the software in different ways and seeing what happens.
I know from Jerry that Mastodon has plans to add a username change feature, but it's not available yet.
Many thanks to Jerry for his willingness to help. Hugs, Jerry!

PS: So now I am "crp@infosec.exchange"

Hey #Mastodon folks; Anyone have some insight?
I'm using #glitch on #infosecexchange.

Using the advanced web interface I swear I used to have it configured in a #tweetdeck-esque layout. Home Feed, Notifications a couple columns for following hashtags on topics, but now...

Whenever I log in now, I get a 'Notifications' column, and that's it.. The 2nd column resets to ask me preferences, options, etc. But I can't find any way to create multiple columns and save that layout?

The U.S. Congressional Budget Office has confirmed a cybersecurity incident after a suspected foreign intrusion.

Officials say containment was swift, but the breach may have exposed legislative data and analyst communications.

Given recent U.S. government breaches tied to Silk Typhoon, how can agencies better protect low-classification but high-impact systems?

I just got the "please enable 2FA" message on #InfosecExchange

While I fully support this message, I wonder how to do this with a shared account/team/org account? E.g in my case the @OSCo account?

@jerry, @Mastodon any ideas or pointers

#Mastdon

Been “struggling” a bit with the what platform should I be on / keep. And although BlueSky has interesting people on its platform, it lacked a bit of the infosec stuff.

So deleted my account there and kept this one 😊 In the end I can only pay attention too so many things at the same time.

I decided since I don't understand how all of this works, I will just simply ask Jerry personally about all of this data and technical details, so that people will no longer be confused about all of this.

Hmm, wie heißt das E-Mail-Gateway aus deutschen Landen, das eingehende doc-Dokumente in PDF umwandelt und das Original in Quarantäne steckt? Ich dachte, das wäre #Seppmail, aber das scheint sich nur um Verschlüsselung zu kümmern.

Nachtrag: Für on-prem. Bevorzugt auf Linux, noch besser als Open Source, um den Vendor-Lock-in zu vermeiden.

Hey, @jerry , by any chance, does a #Mastodon administrator have access to a ranked list of #blocked #accounts by its users?

A cool idea would be to have a #cleanuptuesday or the likes where the most blocked accounts/instances are tooted about and democratically decided to be globally blocked a day later? "Most blocked" as in most blocked by #infosecexchange users, of course.
