Since some people seem to not be familiar with Joanna, she is a massively influential security researcher. IMO most famous for her "Blue pill" attacks on Vista and Xen: https://blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-06/BH-US-06-Rutkow..., https://invisiblethingslab.com/resources/bh08/part3.pdf. Her work demonstrated that hardware virtualization is not in fact the security panacea we wish it was, but that it too is vulnerable to attack just like any other layer of the stack. This revelation resulted in significant changes in the security world.

She is also famous for the Qubes OS project and coining the term "evil maid attack".

So it seems: "Today I no longer do computer security. I do other stuff, part of which running this blog :-)"

What is he on about? Sounds like his future blog posts could just be rambling about anything.
