Today, June 21, 2022, was not only summer solstice and people made pilgrimages to Stonehenge in England. It was probably also the time for the European Security Blogger Awards 2022. No, I wasn't there &#8211; but it looks like Born's IT and Windows blog got two awards at once for Best Personal Security Blog and The Tech Whizz.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/vg08.met.vgwort.de\/na\/5156d22b64b84792b93f746b3bdf9f47\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">The European Security Blogger Awards 2022 are run by UK agency Eskenzi PR, along with KnowBe4 and Qualys as sponsors &#8211; and I've been nominated before in 2021. The website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.ie\/e\/european-cybersecurity-blogger-awards-2022-tickets-342066860187\">here<\/a> states: <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The European Cybersecurity Blogger Awards recognize the best bloggers, vloggers, tweeters and podcasters in the industry.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The whole thing is a marketing thing, but I was pleased to see that I was nominated in 2022 two categories (see nomination <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2022\/05\/25\/nomination-for-the-european-cybersecurity-blogger-award-2022-we-are-now-underdogs\/\">Nomination for the European Cybersecurity Blogger Award 2022 \u2013 we are now underdogs<\/a>).

The awards ceremony will take place on the first evening of Infosecurity Europe on June 21 at the Tapa Tapa restaurant, just outside ExCel.<\/p>\n<p>We hope to have around 120 attendees, which in the past have included Troy Hunt, creator of Have I Been Pwned, and other well-known bloggers such as Graham Cluley, Carole Theriault and Geoff White. Drinks and food will be provided, courtesy of our sponsors KnowBe4 and Qualys.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, I did get asked to come to London two days ago, but I didn't attend (since I broke my neck in March 2015 and suffers a spine injury, things and travelling just got a bit difficult, so I took a walk in the forest yesterday).
