Piero Bosio Social Web Site Personale

@SwiftOnSecurity I got my first real job at 19 at least partly because I solved a database problem for the manager who was interviewing me. It was a database that I'd never seen or heard of before, but I said, "Sure, I can take a look".This was at a TV station, and I was interviewing for a job in the tape/editing room, not a computer job. Everybody else they hired for the position had a bachelor's degree in broadcasting or similar.You could really just do shit in the 90s.

Banana for scale

You meet the users where they are to stop them doing the stupidest shit imaginable.You have literally no idea how much this paid off. The number of infected media players people downloaded in the age before Windows Media Player had more than three codecs is unimaginableWho knows if I saved the entire firm doing this

A commonly-misunderstood aspect of computer security is that you are battling computers.No. That is not right at all. Computers are barely involved.You are battling humans who eat apathy and coordination problems.
