This is interesting!! What do you make of this Methinks?
Methinks, on CNBC they said Crowdstrike was buying out this company called Flow for cloud security and I don’t know how they do itI but don’t you think that Microsoft could protect their cloud by using TPMs in servers in data centers? Crowdstrike doesn’t strike:) me as a company that has stopped ransomware or prevented data breaches so why didn’t they do this before having to try with AI?? And why aren’t we activating and managing TPMs with Wave software?? Anyways, the cloud is a big target as already seen with the Azure hack. The TPM can help big time with computers, but I don’t know that they will help with the cloud or what this Flow company is going to do?! I’d rather trust Wave over Crowdstrike or Microsoft or any of these other companies that haven’t got the job done!!!
Methinks, what I meant to say in the previous post is that if there is a vulnerability in software Wave Endpoint Monitor or WEM can do a compare on the TPM so that it can find malware that is going after the exploit in software!! Hardware (TPM) is thus a very helpful ‘secure by design’ built in security that should be activated with Wave software!! The TPM is very ‘COOL’!!
https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/tackling-cybersecurity-vulnerabilities-through-secure-by-design/
Methinks, this is interesting!! If a computer is using Wave Endpoint Monitor worrying about software vulnerabilities shouldn’t be so worrisome!! If there is malware that is trying to hack one of these ‘vulnerabilities’ WEM should indicate an alert since the malware doesn’t match up with what is already in the TPM for programs and an exploit could thus be stopped. It’s great to have hardware (TPM) as a baseline so these software vulnerabilities aren’t exploited!! In effect the TPM was ‘designed to be secure’!! Why would Microsoft still make the TPM mandatory for Windows 11? Also, software only is probably still easier to crack than an individual PC with TPM 1.2. With just software only the hacker can attack multiple devices at a time!! I may not be right all the time, but that’s my take and TPMs make it so the hacker needs to have TPM to hack it!! A hacker doesn’t need the device to hack software only!!
https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/surface/exclusive-microsoft-will-unveil-oled-surface-pro-10-and-arm-surface-laptop-6-this-month-ahead-of-major-windows-11-ai-update
From the article: Windows 11’s upcoming WAVE of next-gen AI experiences, which will launch later this year./ According to my sources, the new Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop will ship in two WAVES….
Methinks, is Microsoft hinting that they will be using Wave?? Next gen AI could lose in the Elon Musk suit making this next gen AI worthless to the Windows 11 Surface computers and that AI is complicated and gives out wrong answers a lot of times which means always updating the AI. AND what if DELL, Lenovo, HP, Google Chromebooks and others start to use Wave again maybe these computer companies will switch to Linux and use Wave. I think Wave can be adaptable and Microsoft could still be a gold partner of Wave’s especially if they want Wave’s software like WEM!! I just think that Microsoft would be better off going with proven Wave rather than putting all its eggs in the AI basket!! Microsoft could have security that works effectively (Wave) unlike all the complicated baloney out in the market now!!!!What do you think Methinks? Again, thank you for your posts!!!
Hackers steal Windows NTLM authentication hashes in phishing attacks
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-steal-windows-ntlm-authentication-hashes-in-phishing-attacks/amp/
Thank you for sharing your articles Methinks!! In this article it is pretty complicated and Microsoft’s solution is pretty complicated and can be seen by clicking on the highlighted ‘Microsoft introduced’ at the bottom of the article!! Using Wave MFA is a lot simpler and would eliminate this phishing attack altogether. Wave does prevent phishing from working and it’s simpler than all this baloney!!! I don’t mean to be so critical of Microsoft because they do good things, but I think they REALLY NEED Wave’s help if they want to be one of the real leaders in trusted computing!! They are kind of embarrassing themselves!! Microsoft can play nicely with the Bad News Bears (Wave) even though they pick their nose and flick the boogers at Microsoft:)
Methinks, I think WEM came out even before Google did something similar with malware protection with its chromebooks. But the Chromebooks have this malware detection with the TPM that Microsoft doesn’t have, and could have with WEM!! I’m surprised Chromebooks don’t market this edge over Microsoft in a big way especially after what happened in the article in my previous post!! Chromebooks might start eating Miicrosoft’s lunch if Microsoft doesn’t get with the Wave program!! And Google could use Wave’s expertise in security!! They all can!!! What do you think Methinks? I don’t mean to take up too much space if you’d like to give your great ideas to the board!! You are a good buddy and it’s too bad Unixguy and all the Wavoids are gone!!
https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/03/hackers-exploited-windows-0-day-for-6-months-after-microsoft-knew-of-it/
Wave Endpoint Monitor could take care of rootkits and this vulnerability with Microsoft software probably would have been moot if WEM and hardware security (TPM) was used!! Microsoft could really use Wave since antivirus can’t detect these rootkits!! And maybe the computer companies would want to use Wave if Microsoft still doesn’t want to play nice with Wave!! Steven Sprague pointed out a long time ago how antivirus tools aren’t good at seeing sneaky malware!!! The market should have listened!! Maybe it will listen now!! WEM was built into Lenovo computers!!!
https://www.darkreading.com/cybersecurity-operations/what-cybersecurity-chiefs-need-from-their-ceos
Methinks- Mr. Michael who writes this article works for Rubrik and Rubrik is partly owned by Microsoft. Quoted from another article, “Rubrik is helping the world’s leading organizations MANAGE THEIR DATA AND RECOVER FROM RANSOMWARE”.
How about PROTECTING DATA WITH WAVE AND PREVENTING RANSOMWARE WITH WAVE, the TPM and SED!! Microsoft/Rubrik are part of the ransomware problem not the solution like Wave could be!! If you want to have CISOs and CEOs thrown in jail for their missteps with the status quo cybersecurity keep using Rubrik/Microsoft instead of Wave!!! The government or ratings agencies should save these CEOs/CISOs from their demise by making standardized built in hardware security like activated TPMs and SEDs mandatory!!!!
https://www.cnet.com/deals/install-microsoft-office-on-your-pc-or-mac-for-just-32-no-subscription-required/
Looks like Office at $32 is a great deal and still out there at a great price!! What bang for the buck!! Now if Wave was selling its security, users would have the ultimate in security and productivity!! What a winning combination that could be between Wave and Microsoft!!! All users should have that!! Now if we could only work together!!! What do you think Methinks? Trust at the Edge and securing the cloud with the industry leading activated TPM!! Please read this article!! It’s really good!!!
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/north-korea-hacks-two-south-korean-chip-firms-to-steal-engineering-data/amp/
Methinks, given that Samsung has a 15 year agreement with Wave and is part of the TCG and after reading this article you would think that they would be calling Wave IMMEDIATELY for help with their cybersecurity!!!! Or maybe someone from Wave should be calling them!!!!
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/american-express-credit-cards-exposed-in-vendor-data-breach/amp/
Uhhhh??? Methinks, do you think now would be a good time for organizations to use Wave? Or should we wait a little longer??? Sorry for the dumb question!! But the market is still acting pretty dumb or Wave is still hibernating for what reason I have no idea!!!
https://www.theregister.com/AMP/2024/03/04/opinion/
Instead of playing whack a mole with the ransomware gangs and fighting the Bitcoin fanaticals by getting regulations to actually prevent these gangs from operating why not protect these organizations with cybersecurity that really works like using Wave, activated TPMs and SEDs?? How long has the government had to stop ransomware and these gangs keep popping up!! You know Bitcoin is not getting banned or regulation is going to be slow and in Bitcoin’s favor because the fanaticals and institutions have the politicians bought!! Better for organizations to fight back using Wave!!!
https://cyberscoop.com/energy-department-funding-research-cybersecurity/
Methinks, here we are spending millions on ‘AI research’????? I know we want to look like we are doing something for the future of cybersecurity! Why don’t we be smart and do something now so our grid doesn’t get shut down!! Are there any brains left at the top that have heard of the NIST and TCG?? The technology is HERE NOW to protect the grid!! What a waste of $45 million?? Yeah AI and quantum computing is where it’s at?? Are these people sniffing glue while they are putting these proposals through or do they just have no clue?? Talk to Wave, the leader in Trusted Computing before we waste money on bullsh$t like this!!!
Methinks- instead of calling it Wave VSC MFA, why don’t they call it Wave HardSoft MFA for HardwareSoftware security?? It’s this combination that makes Wave’s product so great not a word like ‘Virtual’!! HardSoft might be catchier and better reflect Wave’s core!!! What do you think??
Methinks, here we go again with Okta!!! When is Wave’s MFA going to be used? This bulls$t wouldn’t be happening!!!
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-target-fcc-crypto-firms-in-advanced-okta-phishing-attacks/amp/
Methinks, I think if Microsoft was using Wave and an activated TPM and there was a good reason for everyone to use the TPM for like FACEBOOK authentication or Twitter authentication (much simpler and secure) then Microsoft could securely license out its software securely so people wouldn’t steal it!!! What do you think??
And then if Facebook or Twitter had some really bad people on the network not the ones doing free speech they could kick them off and be kinder or set limits for children!! People should have a license to be on the internet, not all this free for all stealing crap that exists today. The TPM AND WAVE could help with that!!!
Methinks, THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST!!! I try my best!! I was thinking that if Microsoft did all their business on the PC at a fair price maybe everyone in the world would have access to its great productivity software and we wouldn’t have all these data centers!! They should reduce the price of co pilot and not hype the Ai software so much because how much of a productivity increase is it REALLY adding!! I think since the market can’t come up with anything new they just say ‘oh we have AI!’ Wave would be new and it’s SIMPLE AND GENIUS SOFTWARE!!!
Oh and Methinks, I guess we can’t forget about Wave’s agreements with Lenovo and others!!!! Together Everyone Achieves More!!!
Methinks, and I guess if Microsoft doesn’t want to play fair with Wave, Wave could always help out Google with their TPM chips and maybe Apple needs help managing and activating its T1 chips!!! Then Wave still has a big 15 year agreement with Samsung!!! Even though Wave maybe the Bad News Bears little league team, I think they are ready for the Big Leagues!! What do you think Methinks??
https://futurism.com/the-byte/microsoft-arizona-water-ai
From the article: Powering AI demands an incredible amount of energy. Worsening AI’s massive environmental footprint is the fact that it consumes a mind-boggling amount of water.
If Microsoft had a more reasonable price on its non-cloud products ie. Office than $200 and the world wasn’t so dependent on the cloud and used Trust at the Edge of the network with Wave maybe the world wouldn’t have these ‘footprint’ problems!! And the world could have better security with Wave!! Microsoft probably has the best productivity software in Office and eveyone should have the opportunity to use it!! This co pilot software sounds like a more complicated and expensive layer to the Microsoft cloud. Isn’t it really expensive to keep building and upgrading and operating data centers anyway and more strain on the environment!? Instead of getting too creative, why can’t Microsoft stick to its roots with non cloud software? It could be better for the world and Microsoft in the long run!!! If Microsoft helped Wave, Wave could help Microsoft!!!
Methinks, from the previous post’s article there were a lot of big or sophisticated words and adjectives that really amount to nothing in keeping the bad guys off the network, protecting data and devices like Wave can!!
The bottom line of the article was “the game of cat and mouse between attackers and defenders using AI is LIKELY TO CONTINUE INDEFINITELY!!!” Wave’s bottom line game is much better than AI’s ‘game’!!!
ML and AI for cybersecurity??? Is this a joke Methinks? Proven cybersecurity (Wave) makes a lot more sense than the CEO of Google recommending AI!!! Google did make a smart decision by including TPMs in chromebooks so that’s good!!!
https://www.pymnts.com/cybersecurity/2024/firms-turn-to-ai-for-smarter-quicker-cybersecurity-solutions/
Methinks, how about using device authentication with Wave? Why is the market so stupid or why is SKS and Wave still sleeping? The market needs you NOW Wave!!!!
https://tech.co/news/millions-facebook-google-2fa-data-leak
Methinks I believe SKS was right on about Wave and its mission but I think the crypto business sustainment is just fantasy!! He should choose his real passion again and become the Elon Musk of the trusted computing world but work for Wave for free until Wave gets going. And award the shareholders because of what he put us through (not all his fault but the shareholders stuck by him. He should stick by us now!!!). ESW should do the right thing and give the shareholders, the old and new employees their due!!!!
Methinks, if I were the U.S government I would want to speak to SKS or Bill Solms (I don’t know about Bill because he used to have ties to Microsoft, but maybe that could be an asset to Wave) about getting with the Wave program instead of sticking with these security companies that really haven’t accomplished much when it comes to data breaches. Go with Wave and the TCG T.E.A.M!! Together Everyone Achieves More, but hurry up and cancel all the meetings, committees and let Wave lead the way for a good change!!! Biden needs to act like a leader and issue some executive orders instead of spending his time defending against his critics and waiting for Congess to do something on cybersecurity. Hey Joe, talk to Steven Sprague!!! He was right on all along!!!
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/us-charges-iranian-for-hacks-on-defense-orgs-offers-10m-for-info/amp/
I’m not sure how it would work, but Wave can manage and activate the TPMs at scale and then has some products that the market could compete with depending on what kind of patents or the ‘knowledge capital’ for their great solutions that Wave has and and it could be similar to Tesla ‘s mission which I think is to have better lower carbon footprint for the planet. Maybe Wave could take off the pressure to build all these data centers (using the cloud) with Trust at the Edge of the network!!! And make hardware security the new norm which has been exhaustively trialed and transformed by the TCG!! I believe Wave should play a key role!!!!
I didn’t even think of it that way Methinks!!! Wave has the best electric car (Tesla) and has the charging stations (Wave’s software) and could charge others to be a part of Wave!!!
Methinks, if Wave is competing with ‘edge’ products, Wave should be the leader since they were the first with ‘Trust at the Edge’ products and these Wave solutions have proven themselves and these other companies as a whole haven’t stopped data breaches by protecting the network, data and devices. There is a new/old kid in town and that’s Wave!!! These companies have had their chance!! Now is the time for Wave to be the leader and shine!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR POSTS METHINKS!!!
Methinks, I just saw the OKTA CEO on CNBC. OKTA has had data breaches!! They should be using Wave’s device authentication for their security and their customers should switch to Wave!! Why not?? Stopping 2 billion attacks is not getting job done with their type of identity based protection and the CEO took a shot at Microsoft for their customers being locked in cybersecurity!! Go with Wave’s interoperable based security that gets the job done. Not Okta or Microsoft!!!
Microsoft was a Gold partner of Wave’s and should be supporting Wave since there are all these Windows 7 computers with the government!!
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/russian-hackers-shift-to-cloud-attacks-us-and-allies-warn/amp/
I think using Wave’s Trust at the Edge is a much better idea than using the cloud after reading this article!! Using the old non cloud based Microsoft products and Wave sounds like a lot better idea than using Microsoft cloud products!! It’s smart to use the cloud - now that is sarcasm!!
Now using Microsoft’s non-cloud based Office 2019 software at $29.97 with Wave sounds extraordinarily GREAT!!
Methinks then - these people who are buying Microsoft, Palo Alto and Crowdstrike and those using Okta, Securid, and Cisco Duo over Wave must be smoking wacky tobacky or drunk. Oops I thought that was going to be sarcasm!! Be sober people and make a smart decision in buying Wave!! Don’t be a part of the failing herd!!!
It is absolutely amazing how many large organizations have been successfully attacked (see previous post too)!! How pathetic are other companies’ cybersecurity? Why are these companies that are supposed to be protecting these companies getting any business? I think the system has been rigged to keep business flowing into these cybersecurity companies or decision makers who are buying cybersecurity just follow the STUPID herd mentality or many of these companies that might say ‘oh that’s not our responsibility’! Okay, then whose responsibility is it for these data breaches? Or well we stop 99.9% of cyber attacks??? Yeah well the .1% that you are letting through is costing many companies millions of dollars and their reputations!! Go with proven cybersecurity, GO WITH WAVE!!!
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/steel-giant-thyssenkrupp-confirms-cyberattack-on-automotive-division/amp/
Methinks, do we need wave?
You were probably being sarcastic!!
WAKE UP WAVE AND SKS!! MAYBE SKS WON’T QUIT!! I’M SURPRISED THAT THE OLD SHAREHOLDERS AND ESW AREN’T HOUNDING HIM!! IN BANKRUPTCY HE SAID HE COULDN’T FIND A LOT OF HIS STUFF ABOUT WAVE!!! Maybe ESW will play ball with Steven and he’ll end up finding that old WAVE STUFF!!! GO WAVE!! ESW should share with the shareholders or Steven may never find his old WAVE STUFF!!!
Methinks, Wave needs someone other than Steven Sprague!! He is a genius but for whatever reason he has not put himself in the limelight discussing the paradigm shifting hardware technology. I’m not sure how he can look himself in the mirror with what he knows and has given up on Wave!! He is a quitter!! And took a million in severance!! Does he have a conscience?? He could easily get a viral you tube video going about how this hardware security could really stop data breaches!! He should be working for free after what all us Wave investors gave him and stood by him!! He should be ashamed of himself!!! What legacy is his family going to have - STUPID crypto!! There are many dumb people buying into this!!!
Elon Musk blasts Microsoft about Windows 11’s account requirement - takes several hours to bypass it
https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/elon-musk-blasts-microsoft-about-windows-11s-account-requirement-takes-several-hours-to-bypass-it
One has to wonder if Wave’s device authentication with the TPM would have made this easier for Elon Musk rather than security questions and a password!! Maybe there should be an option to use Wave and open it up so that they can’t use AI on you!! That seems like something Wave could help create choices for users like Elon Musk. your comments are always appreciated Methinks!!
Does this sound like a vague endorsement of AI cybersecurity or a ringing endorsement? What is your opinion Methinks? Doesn’t the article seem complex and arduous? Doesn’t it seem hard to figure out what the bottom line is for CISOs and organizations?
https://venturebeat.com/security/generative-ai-iam-culture-based-programs-will-shape-cybersecurity-in-2024-gartner-says/
$29.97 for a lifetime Microsoft Office 2019 and you can really increase your productivity!! Wow!! I’d rather get that than co-pilot at that much per month. A lifetime license no less!! Wow!! I’d buy that with Wave software and activated TPMs for the ultimate in productivity and security. Methinks, would that be a good deal or what?? Deal ends this week!! Couldn’t Microsoft extend the time frame of that since it would be difficult for big organizations to get it all rolled out?? Wouldn’t big organizations get jealous that Microsoft might have favored the little organization over them? Wasn’t Wave a gold partner with Microsoft? I wonder what happened to that? Wave must’ve had good stuff to be a gold partner!!!!

Methinks if you have an opinion on this one please let the board and me know!!
https://thehackernews.com/2024/02/banking-trojans-target-latin-america.html?m=1
If the cloud is susceptible to Trojans, wouldn’t it make sense to use the TPM in Google chromebooks?! After all, Microsoft made mandatory the TPM in Windows 11 machines!!
