What an idiot for even considering this was a good plan.
One has to wonder if someone else was party to the activity, was it his own idea, or someone else?
Seems like a quick way to ruin your career and any future prospect of employment in the same industry.
£300,000 isn’t even a lot of money, it’s fuck all
Maybe if the Gubermint actually employed and nurtured talent in-house, they wouldn’t need to outsource.
Outsourcing is another way of saying “we have no clue” and need outside help.
The Gubermint, you know, the supposed intelligent people running whole countries.
Nepotism strikes again
100% agree
I’ve worked in the information technology space for a couple of decades now and my trustworthiness is paramount to my activities at work. At times we literally have the keys to the kingdom.
Trust is hard to earn, and can be lost in an instant.
If I have a gripe with my employer, I leave and find work elsewhere, I certainly don’t commit fraud against them.
I really hate deceit, I hate it with all my energy
When the credential stuffer tries to log in, the push notification is, in a way, a direct communication between you, and whoever is somewhere in the world, currently interfacing with something like a web login using your credentials.
Remove push notifications and use the classic MOTP
That way the end user is not spammed with ill-thought out-solution-looking-for-a-problem-push-notification-2FA
Entering in 6 numbers is not hard
Is it really that difficult to enter in a 6 digit number?
I’ve never liked the push notification form of 2FA for the sole reason it’s just a matter of time before someone accepts the authentication unwittingly while in a nice safe environment with their legs up and hair down, possibly even a wee bit drunk.
Needing to enter in a code negates any possibility of any miscreants with your password spamming you with “push notifications”
Also, more worryingly still, if an end user is being spammed with 2FA push notifications that should be alarm bells to them and they should probably take it as a given that their password has been compromised.
Assuming they piece this information together.
If your employees do not make this connection, that’s idiotic
Have they tried turning it off and on again?
They could try the flush handle, cos working in IT is a bit like working as a janitor, right?
It has tubes and shit, ask any bean counter or csuite, it’s kinda like a toilet, I mean it is technology after all.
Pay peanuts get monkeys
Don’t listen to experts, get ransomware
You know, the experts you employed
Go to Youtube in a fresh browser, and watch in horror what the moron masses enjoy, apparently the moron masses enjoy “goofy face thumbnails” and “puerile shit”, because that is what the main page will display.
The 2 channels it seems to recommend the most are ssniperwolf and mr beast, both of which contain goofy face thumbnails and puerile shit.
Also for a lot pf parents, Youtube is the new babysitter, and this definitely affects their algorithm
Sometimes, letting them track you means you don’t have to be constantly reminded how stupid the average humans is
The problem with disliking a video is that the system sees that dislike as engagement, and it is this engagement which spurns more of the same shit.
There is a reason these systems are referred to as echo chambers.
The problem with the modern world, is there is this mistaken belief that all human problems can be solved with an algorithm, which is so far off the mark it’s actually scary.
What is a middle kingdom? Is that a made up name? Is it intended as an insult? Is it a media term?
I’m not sure what interview El Reg watched, but I saw something totally different, I watched one of BBCs multitude of idiot media personalities they regard as journalists, getting roasted, and it was great
“Do you like BBC?” hahaha
As to the BBC being respected, not any more, it hasn’t been a viable source of truth for a long time now, it is a mouth piece of the state and this has always been the case.
I like the saltiness of all the AC posts who hate Musk but don’t dare put their handle in front of their utterances, grow a spine, and as to your prejudices, I would not underestimate Musk and what he can accomplish.
True fact, most actual journalists either end up going missing or end up hiding in embassies as a political prisoner.
I don’t think any BBC media personalities have ever gone missing suddenly while investigating a story.
No doubt some will accuse me of being a russian bot or a fanboi, to help with their cognitive dissonance.
This BBC / Musk interview was basically Cathy Newman / Jornan Peterson interview all over again, and its really cringey what constitutes a journalist these days
Question, did any of you ever think of Youtubers or twitch streamers, as influencers? No… me either
Thats the MSM who made that correlation , because it’s what THEY (attempt) to do daily, they’re not in the game of informing
Most people manage daily, at getting along with their neighbors.
It’s a shame “leaders” of countries fail to do the same
Lets do a thought experiment, lets pretend that you live in a huge impenetrable house, and your neighbour lives in a tin hut, and you want to “borrow” their lawn mower.
Do you:
A) Take the lawn mower without permission
I’m not surprised in the slightest at why people hate eachother
B) Negotiate a deal on fair terms
C) Negotiate a deal on unfair terms
Now ask the same question, but instead of you being you, you’re a “leader” of an economically stronger nation
This is how they operate, and its anti-social
"Immediate steps were taken to successfully isolate and contain the issue. The issue was limited to parts of the Capita network and there is no evidence of customer, supplier or colleague data having been compromised,"
Translation:
PR damage control template response with the usual empty platitudes
“Working in collaboration with our specialist technical partners, we have restored Capita colleague access to Microsoft Office 365 and we are making good progress restoring remaining client services in a secure and controlled manner,"
Translation:
We gave GCHQ a call on their “please help us unfuck our business at tax payers expense” hotline
Why would I want to bond with my colleagues?
For all I know these colleagues get drunk, go driving, kill a pedestrian and drive off without stopping.
I don't want to sit next to a sociopath thank you very much!!
The same goes for business attire in a none customer facing role, you’re not employing me for my fashion sense, cunt
“Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom.”
The problem we face in the modern world, is there are a lot of idiots out there who put 100% faith into a systems output they don’t understand.
“The computer can’t possibly be wrong” LMFAO
These same satellites would still get knocked out of action in the case of a solar flare
Sometimes I wonder if humans really understand what a real threat looks like, clue it isn’t other humans, and before you start thinking aliens, nope, the universe is a very dangerous place, and we are mere babies in relation to our time in existence.
Personally, I am looking forward to the demise of this idiot ape-man lifeform subset
An interesting thing about bullies, is this, they are the biggest cowards going in the world.
When you grab their face and smash it into the ground, they still cry like a wounded animal
From this information alone I can extrapolate that no country will ever use nuclear bombs in anger again, they're too cowardly and have characterised these weapons as "deterents", or in other words, "we're too scare to use them because if we did, our own kids will suffer, and not just the plebs, and we cannot have that can we"
