Looking Back – 12-29-14 - Damn Vulnerable Chemical Process

Nearly every morning I start my computer time by looking at information from Google about what happened in my blog in the previous 24 hours. Google, and blogspot.com is a Google service, provides interesting pieces of analytical data about my blog readership. One item of particular interest is the top ten blog posts each day. As you would expect, most of those posts were from the last couple of days, but with 16 years of publishing this blog, every once-in-a-while, a blog post from ancient history rises into that list. 

Today a blog post from December 2014, Damn Vulnerable Chemical Process, showed up on the list. It looks at an important presentation made by a young Ukrainian [not German as I said in the post] researcher, Marina Krotofil. The original video link is, of course, dead, but there is a new You-tube video up of the presentation. Her presentation still holds up today. 

I have an interesting follow-up post about the discussion that resulted from that presentation. 

I met Marina at a meeting in Atlanta a few years ago. She was a delightful young lady and had a bright future in the OT Cybersecurity field. Unfortunately, in 2022, she found it necessary to defer her cybersecurity work, to help her homeland resist the Russian invaders. I wish her well and hope she is able to return to her international cybersecurity work.
