Sorry we missed last week, but we’ve all been dealing with job changes (Zach and Martin) or vacations in tropical paradises (Rich).

After a brief wandering to talk about Halloween preparations, we get back on topic and catch up with some new stories, and a few from the week we missed. We talk about the evolution of security professionals, tokenization, and how the Danger/Sidekick thing had nothing to do with cloud computing.

We found a few interesting stories this week, and the major theme seems to be “stupidity”. On one side is a prison that let an inmate reprogram their computer system, on the other a money-mule for scams that thought sending money-grams to foreign countries was a legitimate “work at home” job.

Sigh.

I (Rich) read the book last week and found it to be a ton of fun; it’s the story of a journalist who slowly descends into the rabbit hole of the survivalist community. Well written, with plenty of good advice and stories. It’s not really a survival guide, more of a personal story and lessons learned.

I had a bit of a shock as I realized that most of my disaster plans aren’t relevant anymore as my life status has changed. I used to be single, in Colorado, and part of the response infrastructure (which means access to a ton of resources). Now I’m married, with a child and pets. I can’t really run off with a backpack and play hero if something bad hits.

We also delve into some IT related disaster planning, so this isn’t a complete non-sequiter.

We will be returning to our regularly scheduled podcast next week.  Promise.
