Who still wears those?



I remember seeing a corporate email sent from the company KnowBe4 (security training, simulated phishing emails, etc). The email contained a headshot of some guy in a suit. I remember pointing out to someone else that this guy was not a computer security expert. When asked how I knew, I said "Security experts don't wear suits".

This is when I looked up who the guy in the email actually was. It was the company CEO. You can see his picture here: https://www.knowbe4.com/about-us/


He's also a famous scientologist and OG email spammer.

~20 years ago, he wrote me a threatening email when I replied to his spam email to complain.

I'm not surprised to see him and Mitnick in business together.


Wait a minute…the OG email spammer founded a company to teach people how to identify spam and other malicious emails, and sold it for $4.6 billion!

I do, for a wedding or maybe a funeral.


My father gave me advice when I was a young lad. Own one nice suit. He called it your "buryin' and marryin' suit".


Maybe my own funeral, but otherwise, no.
