Last month I spent 8 days in #Shenzhen with HardworX visiting factories, startup accelerators, maker spaces, #CHTF 2018 and the famous Huaqiangbei tech markets. A few of us will be speaking about the key learnings and insights from the tour on Dec 9: eventbrite.com.au/e/insights-fro…

I've tried to keep this bottled up, but seeing as we've a whole wave of new people to our industry, maybe it's time to help rather than stand silent. 0hday/Zeroday/0-day exploits should be the least of your worry. Adversaries mostly wont be using them*

These past couple of weeks I've been swamped with questions from patients and non-ID colleagues about #travel and #COVID19. Here's my take on some of these questions (from an Australian perspective), with links to credible sources.

The #covidsafe app is now available in Australia 😷 However, it's a shame that they have decided not to release the source code for full transparency. Luckily, I'm a curious chap and also a professional mobile developer.
