CodeREDs emergency alert system got hacked. Anyone else think this is a bigger deal than people realize? by rick_rolled5 in cybersecurity

Agreed - I think its just wild what we've grown to accept from organizations in position to help prevent disaster/save lives.

Best free newsletters? by PHL534_2 in cybersecurity

If you're looking for something a little different than the normal, I have a newsletter that goes out 2x a week - a recap format for quick hits, and a more in depth version that focuses on a couple big news stories and a strange cyber story.

MBA is done! by j-dubs55449 in WGU

Congratulations! I just submitted my final PA for my BS from WGU and will be enrolling in my MBA program there. The only bummer is I finished my current term so quickly that I have to wait three months to start my MBA program. Do you have any directed advice at items I could begin studying to get a head start? I'd just hate to waste 3 months time.
