This is my #IT, #Infosec, and #Cybersecurity starter pack. There’s plenty of room if some people want to be added too. But here are some feeds and people I recommend following go.bsky.app/QYMa3yN

Cross-Site Scripting: 2024's Most Dangerous Software
In addition to XSS, MITRE and CISA's 2024 list of the 25 most dangerous security vulnerability types (CWEs) also flagged out-of-bounds write, SQL injection, CSRF, and path traversal.

Handling Cookies is a Minefield: Inconsistencies in the HTTP cookie specification and its implementations have caused a situation where countless websites (including Facebook, Netflix, Okta, WhatsApp, Apple, etc.) are one small mistake away from locking their users out. grayduck.mn/2024/11/21/h...
Congratulations, this is amazing! Since you asked, our Google CSP/Reporting API collector currently processes ~3.5B reports per day. That's for CSP, COOP, Trusted Types, and custom reporting. It has enabled us to truly scale up deployment of web platform security features across Google in a safe way
Over the last 24 hours, report-uri.com has processed more than 1,000,000,000 pieces of telemetry! This gives us a unique view of JavaScript behaviour across the Web, as observed by over 15,000,000 unique browsers around the World. Talk about Threat Intelligence capabilities!

It took me twelve years (!) to build up my audience on Twitter. It took 5 days to surpass the 50% point of my Twitter following on Bluesky. I’m hopeful that the overall growth on this site will negate the need to go on Twitter altogether. Sad to see what it devolved into, but thrilled to see it die.
Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉 We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:
