So last night our bookstore in Chicago was looted. I'll bet people were really disappointed when they got home and found that all they had to show for it was a handful of religious books.

Over the years, Lebanon has seen so many protests that the Lebanese by now know best how to deal with teargas.


The window is closed on the first PCI DSS v4 RFC. Now the fun begins. There will be hundreds of responses to review. All of this will make it better and retain its status of the best, most relevant, info sec standard.


PCI DSS v4 RFC went out yesterday. Should be hundreds of comments.


Or restating: yeah, stupid people. I hate having to work in a room with people. Just like being my own bubble.

Better question is can anyone in India accomplish a big goal without the government bending all rules towards helping them? Can India’s richest man take on Amazon and Walmart? drumup.io/s/8umCTO


If it wasn’t for national DPAs would we be hearing about this?

It only takes one Excel spreadsheet to cause a massive leak of credit card users' data: buff.ly/2P6Tbzs „Some details have gradually been leaked, so it is now possible to claim that data from 90,000 members.“ via @Webimprints


I’m not forwarding anything from DigiCert or any other propaganda pieces on this topic: shorter certs are good. But I am leery of any plan from Google that pushes business to Let’s Encrypt...which is a Google sponsored project. Too self serving to trust.

PCI Forum in New Delhi was good. A few too many venders, but good to talk the Financial sector Info Sec people there. Talked to some familiar faces from meetings in Bangladesh last year. Off for more meetings today. A lot of fluff and egos here, but some good people as well.


Off to PCI Forum in New Delhi today.


Great meetings in Mumbai. Visited the Indian HQs of some major customers. Got some good feedback on planned initiatives. Went to local office. Unfortunately, sense of collaboration is very poor. Not an Indian thing, but a company thing.


Just got to Mumbai after being in Pune. Asian audiences are hard, not a lot of feedback that I, as a presenter, really rely on. Oh well, did my best. I know I present well, just regret they did not ask more questions. So much PCI to talk about. So little time.

Didn’t think too much about this at first: wrong!

Firewalls are not the only way to protect the perimeter. In the future there should not be “requirements” forcing a DMZ as a solution.

On this day in 1922, Banting & Best announced the discovery of insulin & sold the patent to @LillyPad for $1 each so insulin would be available to all. Today, 97 years later, @LillyPad charges $278 for a week’s worth of insulin and American diabetics are dying as a result.
