    Career highlight: featured unexpectedly on last week’s episode of Industry on HBO! (Or at least, an actor playing my voice in a fictional press huddle) Making it onto my fave TV show was not on my 2k26 bingo card, but I’ll take it ✨

    Why #infosecbikini matters: At 2019 @defcon I went to the bathroom and a woman was weeping. She'd been at a stall trying to crack some cryptogram puzzles and the man in charge told her it'd be complex for her, she should to go to the "babies stall". She had a PhD in cryptography.

    As she told her story, two other women entered the bathroom and began sharing similar experiences. One, of sexual harassment. All three in tears. I'd been at Defcon less than an hour. Women in infosec are harassed in their professional lives & harassed for having personal lives
