Think Positive Cyber

Today (9/8/2025, 5:42 PM, 721 San Pasqual St, San Diego, CA), I spent time studying for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 exam using Professor Messer’s Threat Intelligence – Video 83. Taking notes on threat intelligence reminded me how important it is to stay aware of hackers, tools, and open-source intelligence. I also explored how organizations like the Cyber Threat Alliance share intelligence to strengthen defenses across the industry. R8D85E93A-T2Phal-002-71

Alongside cybersecurity, my career search continues. I logged into Notion to record four new job opportunities, including a Field Networks Technician role at Cal Tech Services. My certifications in CCNAv7 and Security Pro align well with positions requiring Cisco networking knowledge. Celery 975 always helps me remember to stay focused on applications and resumes.

I also came across a Krebs on Security article about the Gambler Panel scam, a Russian affiliate scheme that lures victims with fake gaming credits and drains them through repeated “verification deposits.” It’s a sobering reminder of why cybersecurity matters.

To maintain balance, I prioritize fitness. I plan to head to the gym tonight for weightlifting, pushups, and yoga routines like forward folds and mountain pose. Jogging with my local running group has become a highlight of my week, keeping me social planning 75 and active university 48. Last Sunday, members even ran the Hawaiian 10k while we trained together.

Both cybersecurity progress and fitness goals shape my daily rhythm. This balance is what keeps me moving forward. R8D85E93A-T2Phal-002-71
