ON Friday!
"PJM's board of managers released a plan Friday..."
What on earth is a "plan Friday"?? This Americanisation of my beloved el reg is nauseating.

we recommend following online safety best practices
"......we recommend following online safety best practices."
What a cheek!
How's about YOU follow best practices and don't leak our personal information.
It's comments like these that gaslight and distract the public from this continued incompetence by the companies holding our private data.
The only way to ensure your data is "Secure" is DO NOT collect it in the first place.
I for one make sure to opt out of Australia's national health records database as I could see something like this happening a mlle off.

"What amazes me is the number of people who call themselves IT professionals who haven't even tried,"
You're so right Dr Syntax. I'm an Electrical Engineer who's mostly written low-level software for a living (I'm also Founder/CEO of an Engineering firm). When I meet other supposedly experienced engineers or IT professionals in my job who haven't even tried to use Linux, I must say, I'm immediately suspect of their ability and knowledge in their field. I see that basic Linux knowledge / ability is table-stakes for most engineering jobs now as well as the cross-over into IT / infrastructure. It's basically 3 x as long to just "get stuff done" in Windows compared to an Ubuntu install. If I have 2 words of advice for any high-school pupil who's vaguely interested in IT or Engineering, it's "Learn Linux".
