I know historically “deaf and dumb” meant deaf and mute, but, at least in the classes I took in college, I was told we don’t use that terminology anymore, for hopefully obvious reasons.

This 100% My experience only mattered because I was able to really involve myself and had a great relationship with my instructor, and still do, actually. There were people who failed out, so my specific program isn’t something I’d classify as a degree mill, but I 100% could’ve coasted through and retained nothing.
I’m a SOC Analyst in my mid 20s.
I did a boot camp, it got me a job. BUT I already had a degree, though in a completely unrelated field. For people just out of college age like me, that degree requirement was much more about showing you’re capable of committing to something than it was about specific knowledge.
You’re going to need to get certifications no matter what you do. My boot camp prepared me for Sec+ and CySA+, but you could 100% do that on your own.
At the end of the day, it’s going to come down to how much time/money you’re willing to invest. If you’re able to get a degree without significant hardship, I’d do that. There’s so much value to education, no matter the subject.
If you’ve got less money and time than that, consider a boot camp. I had an amazing time in mine, and the schedules are often designed for working adults. My class had people of all ages, though the ones with some previous interests/hobbies in IT definitely got the most out of it.
Feel free to DM me, mentoring and networking is a huge part of cyber!
This is horrifying. I know abuse of power is nothing new, especially in education and law enforcement, but people find new lows every day it seems. I’m glad others were there to step up and help.
This is a poorly written article. The FBI did not access computers randomly looking for the botnet like it claims, they used the botnet infrastructure to uninstall itself.
There are still extremely valid privacy concerns here, especially considering potential applications of plain view laws, but it should still be presented factually.
Same actually, and a refurb m1. That’s not to say apple doesn’t use predatory tactics, and hard agree with complaining about laptops sold with 8gb of ram. I use windows, Mac, and Linux daily, and for my devices I want to last and not worry about, I go apple.
