Lorry @lorry.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gy · 23/06/2026I was talking to a friend last week about a personal/work project I had about 10 years ago where every month or so, I had to change my mind (properly!) about something I believed in – Which in this case, meant I had to go and seek things out because it’s […] [Original post on infosec.exchange] 000 0
