Nonya "Fucking Bitch" BidnissSpent 22 years of my working life in national security and it feels like all that time was just a waste. These motherfuckers have just torn everything to shreds in the blink of an eye. Fuck everything.

I only had 2 years at the VA, but I saw just how seriously everyone one took information security. I wish I could have been there longer and made a career of it. Fucking COVID.
Thank you for everything you did to keep us safe.
myron aub@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange i only have the vaguest idea of how frustrating this must be, but i am personally furious at what they have done to your work and thousands of others who did their best to move us forward, only to watch those bastards set fire to it.
Wendy Nather@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange For those 22 years, we were safe. You kept us safe. Thank you.
Nonya "Fucking Bitch" BidnissI think a lot of people don't realize that the machine has always run largely on trust. Sure you do as much as you can to verify, but trust in every person choosing to do the work is the cornerstone of what has held the U.S. together since the beginning. When they were laying out the structure and the rules they basically thought that there might be a bad apple here and there but the vast majority could be trusted to be basically good people all rowing in the same direction. Well, this is what it looks like when you get all the bad apples all rowing in the same direction. Total destruction.
Nonya "Fucking Bitch" Bidniss@h2onolan@infosec.exchange I don't even have the words to express it but it's a lot.
Nonya "Fucking Bitch" Bidniss@wendynather@infosec.exchange Thanks Wendy. I know you've done your part too.
Wendy Nather@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange Nah, I’ve never worked in natsec. Unless you believe ChatGPT when it claims I was at the NSA 🙄
Nonya "Fucking Bitch" Bidniss@wendynather@infosec.exchange Well, when you contribute knowledge to Natl Academies studies that's contributing to natsec
Wendy Nather@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange I still feel like that’s stolen valor though 🫤
Nonya "Fucking Bitch" Bidniss@wendynather@infosec.exchange Nah! Every bit counts.
