"For the Love" Entry
Linda says:  "Sec. 406 of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 states multi-factor logical access controls include 'Information that is known to the user, such as a password or personal identification number' but it's pretty vague on how it is known."

Roger has a suspicion hiring Linda does not lend to improved "cybersecurity in the United States through enhanced sharing of information about cybersecurity threats, and for other purposes."

The anger passwords engender
I wish someone would do a large scale study to figure out why we get so angry about having to use user ID's and passwords. There are times when I swear someone is about to get violent over having made repeated, unsuccesful attempts to access something only to be denied due to "incorrect information". Certainly people have damaged equipment--their own as well as work equipment--in frustration at having been denied.

"But I know my user name and password!! What is wrong with this effin computer???!!!" The frustrated user will exclaim--with a look of psychotic anger emblazened on their face.

Now, times that by however many users you have in an office and you can feel the nightmare grow. Sometimes getting something fixed isn't just about making things work properly: sometimes it's a necessity in order to avoid great bodily injury.

It can get downright scary.

The writing on the banner would read: TRUMP'S TAG SALE. "After funding his own campaign he needed to sell some of his stuff so he didn't fall into a lower tax bracket and he felt it would be a wiser economical strategy to target a high-end, tower-dwellers demographic. He forgot that "we" work up here too."

Well MR. CEO, IT policy does not allow storage of company data on personal cloud accounts.  Maybe you can just use your brief case backup device.

"Hi Bob, As your CISO it is my job to ensure we are all complying with our security policies.  Yesterday, I removed a sticky note you had taped to the bottom of your keyboard that had your password written on it.  What part of "Do not share or write down your password" did you not understand?."

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
