1/3 We’ve been quiet here for three months. During that time, we’ve been reconsidering what Sudo Truth should contribute—not more noise, recycled headlines, or fear-driven advice, but useful ideas for people making real decisions about cybersecurity, fraud, and AI.

New, by me: ServiceNow notified some enterprise customers that there was outside access to their data, after a security bug left instances exposed to the web. The company has hidden its notice behind a login wall, but its contents were shared by network defenders on Reddit.

Back at the Cyber Warfare Range @ PCC East. Hands on practice is how we get folks to understand cyber risk. The more time I spend here, the more I become convinced that local businesses and the community need a safe way to see and learn about risk before it turns into an incident.

Payment controls only work when verification is non-negotiable. Out-of-band confirmation and two-person approval should be standard for any bank detail or payout change. Consistency prevents avoidable losses. Check out the verification tool now: www.sudotruth.com/verify-befor... #Cybersecurity

Security Tip: Remote vendor access is one of the easiest ways a small team gets burned. The request sounds routine, someone grants always-on access, and weeks later you’re dealing with an outage, invoice fraud, or ransomware cleanup. Practical fix: no standing remote access.
