🧠💜 Frage an die weiblichen Nerds:

Ich hab zwei tolle Töchter (7 & 9) – und will ihnen zeigen, wie spannend Informatik sein kann.
Nicht mit „Schminkspielen“, sondern mit echtem Nerd-Fun: Logik, Kreativität, Code, Privacy, Security.
Open Source statt Paywall. Verständnis statt Konsum.

Was hat euch damals fasziniert?
Habt ihr Empfehlungen für freie Tools, Projekte oder Bücher, die Kids empowern – mit Fokus auf Technik, Datenschutz und digitale Selbstbestimmung?

Danke euch schon jetzt! 🙏

Schneier on Security · Why Take9 Won't Improve Cybersecurity - Schneier on SecurityThere’s a new cybersecurity awareness campaign: Take9. The idea is that people—you, me, everyone—should just pause for nine seconds and think more about the link they are planning to click on, the file they are planning to download, or whatever it is they are planning to share. There’s a website—of course—and a video, well-produced and scary. But the campaign won’t do much to improve cybersecurity. The advice isn’t reasonable, it won’t make either individuals or nations appreciably safer, and it deflects blame from the real causes of our cyberspace insecurities...

Practical steps for secure and ethical #AI use by educators and researchers by Marlon Domingus (Erasmus University Rotterdam):

1️⃣ 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗔𝗜-𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀
Don’t blindly trust AI outputs — always verify sources and context. “In science, it is usual to, in principle, challenge every truth claim, to test its validity. With the growing societal impact of AI, this should also become common-sense practice for daily life.”

@sans_isc : even if i5c.us does *not* appear to be a regular URL-shortening service, nothing in it's domain name convinces me it's not. Perhaps they're offering *you* a free service that *visitors* pay for with a loss of privacy.

I do not want to, and simply cannot (I apologize for my intelligence not being artificial) remember all possible aliases of isc.sans.edu - in order to prevent from being fooled or phished.

Why is this not as stupid as Microsoft (microsoft.com) asking their customers to log in to:

   login.microsoftonline.com

instead of somehing like:

   login.customer.microsoft.com

?  #WhatWereTheySmoking

Mastodon has its own, IMO excellent built-in URL-shortening system for the final link you asked us to visit:

   isc.sans.edu/diary/31136

In fact, the full link to that article is automatically shortened by Mastodon fine too:

   isc.sans.edu/diary/Tracking%20

I juste posted additional reasons in a toot to Margarita Estévez-Abe in infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat.

Let's all do our best to make the internet a safer place!
