rickf - a cynical professor
After a 20-yr gov/mil/corp career that included being CSO for the company once running global DNS, I'm now a senior cybersecurity professor overseeing a large grad program, co-coordinating a campus institute, and taking a critical eye towards risks, information-based conflict, natsec, tech policy, & more.

More pardons (for sale) may be coming soon…
Herr Stephen Miller floats the idea of denying entry to the US to pregnant women on Fox 'News' hit.
He is beneath contempt, like so many others in his MAGA Christofascist regime and cult.
