Who is Dave Lewis?
I’m a security practitioner that has been in computer, network & information security for almost two decades now. I have worked in the financial, military, government, critical infrastructure and health care verticals to name a few. Some quick bullet points about me:
I’m a jack of all trades master of none.
Creator of the asshat emoticon.
For my day job I work at Duo Security.
I have been running this site since 1998.
This isn’t a paid gig. This is my outlet.
No, I’m not some young kid (you should see some of the emails I get).
“gattaca” is my alter ego.
I’m a recreational security researcher.
Recently, I spoke at… CLICK HERE
I’m a massive information junkie (hence, this site).
About Liquidmatrix Security Digest, it’s a site that aggregates security news and information that we feel like sharing. Albeit, in bite sized chunks. The content style of this site is similar to the likes of Boing Boing, Gizmodo and slashdot.
I would like say thanks to every one for reading/subscribing and helping to make this the busy site that it has become.
Who is James Arlen?
The man formerly known as “Myrcurial”
One thing that can be said is that he is the originator of the term “cyberdouchery“.
He has spoken at several conferences including The Last Hope, Defcon 16, Sector 2008 and he keeps submitting talks in the hope of being famous someday.
He also needs to either contribute more or get lost.
