This Week in InfoSec (08:03)

With content liberated from the “today in infosec” twitter account

30th June 1998: AOL confirmed a leaked spreadsheet containing info of 1,300 AOL community leaders had been stolen from an employee's account.

Not around then? AOL was kind of a big deal - it bought Time Warner in 2000 and was worth $200 billion before imploding.

Cybersecurity Workers Flood Twitter With Bikini Pics to Protest Harassment

Infosec Community Posts Solidarity Bikini Pics After Twitter Troll Outburst

Cybersecurity professionals have come together on Twitter to show their support for an infosec worker who was trolled after posting a bikini pic.

Coleen Shane, founder and chief engineer for InfoSec Bad Girls and Hacker Spring Camp, was astonished when an anonymous follower reacted angrily to the shot.

The user, who follows over 200 infosec-related accounts, argued that there was "no warning" for the image, intimating that "otherwise respectable people" should not be doing such.

Coleen's response was widely praised.

"It's a bikini, and I'm a human being who is a lot more complicated than just Infosec - also I do whatever the hell I want, whenever the hell I want, however the hell I want. Adios," she tweeted.

Communications company got their support for the movement (horribly) wrong by creating a calendar of the bikini photos (without consent) for people to download

Their apology has gone as well as expected
