It's one of my favorite descriptions of a historic event. The eminent government employee of immense credentials, with a son of similar capability yet young and foolish like he must have been once, ruminating ā€“ understanding spectra of the world changing by an act of his blood.

RT by @SwiftOnSecurity: Reduce your Intune Admins and use intune rbac and restricted admin units. Segregate device management into groups to decrease the blast radius. Treat Intune Admins like Global Admins. Require PIM with approvals. I've been saying this since before it was popular. As unpopular as this may sound right now, Microsoft is not to blame. They wrote about how to do all this in their documentation, but nobody does it. You have to keep in mind that it could have been a Global Admin too. In that case, the situation is even more dire. The vast majority of orgs are still hybrid. If the compromise was of the on-prem AD, not much you can do because you can pivot to an Intune Admin's device and use the APIs. This is why your EDR should be throwing high alerts when admin machines stop checking in and you should validate visibility on those machines. Managing admin machines is really really hard. Admins write code, run scripts, and look like they are compromised all the time when they're not.

RT by @SwiftOnSecurity: My ancestors buried half their children. All mine are alive. My ancestors' house had a dirt floor. Mine is wood. I have indoor plumbing, I have hot water, I have never in my life hauled a full bucket half a mile and I probably never will. Do you know how rare it is, in human history, for small children to wear shoes? Mine have multiple pairs. I can speak to my relatives who live thousands of miles away, for free, at any time. Video, if we want video. With machine translation, if we speak different languages. The original Library of Congress had 740 books in it. I have more than that. If I run out of books in my home my local public library has 350,000. If I want to take a hundred books with me on vacation, they all fit on a device that fits in my purse. I have heat in the winter and AC in the summer and a washing machine and I have never, ever, ever had to scrub a dress clean by hand in the stream. I can look up recipes from more than a hundred different countries and I've tried dozens of them. I ride a clean and modern train across my city for $4, or take a robot taxi if I'm out too late for the train. I donate $40,000 every year to the cause of getting healthcare to the world's poorest people and even after the donations I never have to think about whether I can afford a book, or a pair of shoes, or a cup of coffee. There is a great deal more to fight for, of course. I hope that our descendants will look back on our lives and list a thousand ways they're richer. Maybe we ourselves will do that, if some of the crazier stuff comes true. But the abundance is all around you and to a significant degree you aren't feeling it only because fish don't notice water.
