SECURITY RESEARCH AND DATA PRIVACY
Always Rambling on about Games and Security
Observations,mistrust chronicles and exploits
It’s been a while since I’ve use the Twitter social channels to communicate or comment on anything.
Twitter stopped being fun for me years ago when people started taking everything literally as truth. What’s more interesting is the weight it carries in judicial and education systems and the massive impact it has on a real-life relationship, job markets.
I’ll be posting with a large disclaimer banner under academic research.
A stark picture was painted by CheckPoint founder Gil Shwed who stated very clearly how the landscape is getting more and more complex with a monster of 16 attack vectors with countermeasures of 26+ security technologies ramping up to a complexity rating of 416 just to stand still.
An absolute nightmare for any Security Analyst responsible for the organisation’s controls.
In the meantime, new threat actors are born everyday.
With only a few weeks remaining for the big global launch, I’ve removed all games bar HitMan and FallOut 76.
I’ll be offline PS4 until launch day anyhow so will miss the public Beta.
Divison 2 perks are easier to understand and simplier to purchase.
My first few hours of gameplay in the FallOut 76 environment were pure immersion as much of the mechanics are simply a follow on from the 2015 FallOut 4. This is brilliant for fans of the series, but I can see why some gamers won’t be playing long term especially being an online game where you seldom bump into other players. This evident with the 36% within three months of release.
My playlist schedule is packed with juicy titles.
Naturally, the Division 2 hype train is unstoppable with millions of gamers on standby for the beta and full game. A new ecosystem will spring up around the game and support services like Discord will be on fire.
Anyhow, I started on a new 2-year MSc journey teaching and learning.
