Quotes from James Scott

Manufacturing consent begins by weaponizing the meme and utilizing the censorship algorithms of Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Medical devices and EHR systems are notoriously vulnerable to remote compromise

Meme Warfare 101: the meme hovers above the syntactical model that has limited man's evolution and expansiveness due to the restrictions of language. The meme introduces that which defies the restrictions of language and cuts to the psycho-emotional core of the individual.

Most IoT devices that lack security by design simply pass the security responsibility to the consumer, thus, treating the customers as techno-crash test dummies. James Scott, Senior Fellow, Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology

Nietzsche said that All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity. Right now there is a renaissance, an awakening, we are breaking the narrative illusion, the mask, that eats away at the face.

Political correctness is a loaded gun that the individual holds to their own head. Where laws can't stomp on freedom of speech, automatons rule other automatons via political correctness and social acceptance.

Ransomware is not only about weaponizing encryption, its more about bridging the fractures in the mind with a weaponized message that demands a response from the victim.

Real cybersecurity means that your Security Operations team is consistently pen testing your network with the same stealth and sophistication as the Russian nation state, the same desperation as China's 13th Five Year Plan, the same inexhaustible energy of the Cyber Caliphate and the same greed and ambition for monetary payoff as a seasoned cyber-criminal gang.

Right and wrong isn't a matter of ethics, rather it's the geography in which you reside and whose control you're under. Tallinn Manual 2.0 is based largely on western international humanitarian law.

Security by design is a mandatory prerequisite to securing the IoT macrocosm, the Dyn attack was just a practice run

Senator Markey's Cyber Shield Act can work! Start the conversations with the basics: Use a QR code that attaches to a dynamic database that runs an artificial intelligence algorithm to calculate the score. Let's not make this more difficult than it is.

Signature-based malware detection is dead. Machine learning based Artificial Intelligence is the most potent defense the next gen adversary and the mutating hash.

The American renaissance begins with the unified revolutionary act of turning off and smashing the television, rejecting Hollywood on all fronts and refusing to intellectually ingest the toxic force feed of the establishment minority's matrix narrative.

The biggest center of attention needs to be the Secretaries of State. They're the ones that manage the elections. At the end of the day, they're the ones that need to be held accountable.

The cyber hygienically apathetic c-suites running critical infrastructure organization are losing this war. This this is a cyber kinetic meta war and its hyper evolving in an already next gen space.

The cyber industry is riddled with faux experts and self-proclaimed scholars, Tallinn Manual 2.0 is a perfect example of what happens when cyber-upstarts try to proclaim authority on a topic they know nothing about.

The day an organization realizes they've been hacked they'll hire a forensic team to analyze the network only to identify the reality that they were hacked months or years ago, they just didn't know it.

The disturbingly techno-illiterate and cyber-hygienically lackadaisical and shockingly arrogant responses by the National Association of Secretaries of States when we at ICIT repeatedly showed them what their vulnerabilities were and exactly how elections could be compromised is a betrayal of trust to offer safe and legitimate elections. The technical vulnerabilities littering our election systems is only part of the problem.

The Frankensteined architectonic IoT microcosm of the prototypical critical infrastructure organization renders an infinite attack surface just begging to be exploited.

The health sector is in desperate need of a cyber hygiene injection

The illusion of time and space that has been introduced by those who want to commodities and monetize on the time and space of others.

The most successful attacks by more sophisticated hackers tend to be strategically "indirect". Why risk attacking Target directly and getting caught. Just hack the HVAC contractor and use their access to Target's network

The narrative illusion introduces a "mind virus", which is a syntactical contagion that spreads through communicative vectors and colonizes the cognitive biases of the targeted individual's psychology, thus transforming the mental processes of that target.

The two main problems with signature and heuristic based anti-virus is the mutating hash and the fact that you first need a victim in order to obtain the signature. James Scott, Senior Fellow, Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology
