  • @agelastic "you" meaning whom ? #
  • @agelastic Yes, and in fact we did before. And your criticism would be just except that you are assuming our threat model. #
  • @agelastic (Ah, you're at Atlassian) – so let's be honest, there's should be nothing wrong with assuming JIRA will keep a secret by default #
  • @agelastic Put differently: We did not realise that #WordPress does a better job than #JIRA at keeping information secret by default. #
  • @agelastic If we /had/ realised that #JIRA did not have a no default and elegant "zero access", then of course I would have said: #
  • @agelastic "#JIRA, connected to the internet? Over my dead body it's a piece of insecure-by-default code that can't keep a secret" #
  • @agelastic But alas, foolish, foolish me, me/my team assumed that #JIRA might, if you locked it down a bit, manage to keep its data safe. #
  • @agelastic I suspect Atlassian gets a free ride over this because so many JIRA installs seem to support FOSS projects, and that's great #
  • @agelastic Perhaps it needs more widely advertising that #JIRA needs to be fitted with a security condom if used for less public work? #
  • @agelastic S'ok, As a security geek, an app (JIRA) which abrogates any aspect of security is tragic, esp. when it does so well elsewhere. #
  • @agelastic As for advertising that JIRA needs a security condom to keep some small %age of its data secure, to whom should I direct that? #
  • @agelastic I like JIRA and I want to see it improved to the point of perfection! Hence fixing information security leaks is important to me! #
  • @agelastic Yes, that would be why I blogged about it. #
  • The season for hot-air-ballooning over my house seems to have returned! Happy Birthday, whomever! http://t.co/ocx7431D #
  • @agelastic My colleagues already did. As in fact have several other folk.
    Look: https://t.co/Z5pjevIH – total of five complaints so far? #
  • @agelastic JIRA comments like "completely unacceptable from a security standpoint" and "consider this a serious security bug" seem relevant? #
  • @agelastic ps: those are not my words nor those of anyone associated with me #
  • @Raj_Samani a) what are the public expected to know about cyber defence? b) since when do we have a strategy? c) How does it defend my Xbox? #
  • @Raj_Samani Really, Raj, what will it take to get you to stop retweeting this stuff and start talking about real security issues? #
  • "N million passwords stolen – cyberterror!" is not the right way to think;
    "N million passwords stolen – it must be tuesday", is. #
  • @Raj_Samani Worse than that: they are _bad_ issues, fallacious arguments.
    "I don't need a seatbelt or airbag the Gov't will protect me" #
  • @Raj_Samani Worse even than that because it internet is a virtual space and there is no such thing as a regulatable "car" analogue #
  • @Raj_Samani To talk about a Gov't strategy when in fact the strategy should be in education and enabling self-protection, is ludicrous. #
  • @Raj_Samani Incidentally, "public confidence in safety of digital services" does not equal "public faith in [gov't] cyber defence strategy" #
  • @Raj_Samani Education should _be_ the UK Cyber Strategy; anything else (eg: MoD looking after itself) should not be relevant to "strategy" #
  • @Raj_Samani Give me three other / non-education cyberstrategy points which are relevant to the general public and are not Gov't housekeeping #
  • @Raj_Samani Yo're delegating your argument to a third-party document and then citing "skills innovation" which smells to me like University. #
  • @Raj_Samani Reading http://t.co/pTb3BDj8
    implies Gov't role is 1) funding 2) legal framework. Not convinced about either. #
  • RT @hvcco: FFS, Cryptologia subscription (4 issues) £45, price to access one article (cos I can't find my copy of backissue), £27! #obscene #
  • @Raj_Samani So (again) other than education and housekeeping-own-systems plz suggest 3 state cybersecurity strategies benefiting the public? #
  • @stewarttownsend Yep. #
  • @Raj_Samani I'll blog about it later; this has gone beyond tweeting. Thanks. #disappointed #
  • RT @mikko: Added the cover of Misha Glenny's "DarkMarket" to my Pinterest Board "Hackers with Hoodies" http://t.co/K0vNgekd

  • @Raj_Samani DM? Pah. Alec.Muffett@gmail.com #
  • I know about the "You don't own the music forever" #drm thing but #Spotify is turning into essential therapy. Like coffee rather than art. #
  • @loudmouthman That's a good one! Female house brown. Crunchy. #
  • @Raj_Samani One can only ask "Who _should_ have them?" #
  • Announcement: ORG-London September 17th Pub Meet – Shoreditch.

  • If this is for real there's only one word for it, "ick". http://t.co/BYHshDgA

  • @beng I've been in management meetings like that. #
  • Gosh! This is so exciting! Do we stay up all night waiting for reshuffle news? #nobolloxtoittheyllstillbethereinthemorning #
  • @Psythor I gather lack of plot depth is a common complaint, even compared to Ahnuld's original #
