It's a thing
People need to realise the only good ransomware protection is decent immutable Backups, that you know are restorable, and you can do it in a short time window.
Otherwise it's a case of take your chances and either join the suckers or learn tyo live without the stuf you havent got.
So there are multiple clusters. Matrix are going to Workday, Unity are going to SAP, and HMT and DfE are on Oracle. Who is going to handle all the integrations between them?
Surely a single system across government, led centrally, would make more sense, and cost less in the long run.
HMT and DfE are already on Oracle Fusion and are the largest revenue orgs in the cluster. Why are they being forced to move to Workday, which is a passable HR system at best, whereas Oracle Fusion is or can be a full-function ERP?
The CO need to be practical rather than Intransigent.
Matrix should all go to Fusion, and OIC can be used to integrate anything they need to the other clusters.
How easy is it to get your browser to disclose all your accounts?
Edge loaded them all in memory in plain text
Chrome is nearly as easy
Firefox and Safari are a little harder, but are doable
A standalone password manager is the only way to go.
I would suggest storing them in a cloud with a key that you control, but there are solutions to keep everything offline if you can be bothered with the hassle of maintaining access on all your devices.
The problem is you are assuming there still is a singular NHS.
The 2012 Health and Social Care Act broke the organisation into 2,500+ bite-sized organisations that the new government could sell off.
This caused the number of administrators and non-medical staff to skyrocket, and costs to go through the roof.
This is why we now have an NHS in the state it is in.
The only way to get it working again is to undo the damage and put the NHS back together.
The NPfIT failed as it tried to design a single system that worked for everyone, which was an impossible task.
The way to make a Single Care record is to define the record standard and allow any system that implements that standard to connect to the central record.
Software Engineers they are not, they are not even Programmers, at a push I might call them coders.
The fact that, except for some wording changes and split/combine operations, OWASP 2003 and OWASP 2025 are the same says everything you need to know.
If they were engineers, at least they'd change the process to prevent some of them
In November 2011, the Ministry of Defence sold 72 Harrier IIs to the United States Marine Corps (USMC)
because they were to be replaced by the F-35 B
The USMC are still flying theirs for another couple of years yet, the last AV-8B is scheduled for retirement "by the second half of 2027."
And they were the initial customer for the F-35 B
TBF, the email/password combo I use on here was breached long ago, but it's easy to type, and all someone can do with it is post on here, so security is not a priority.
I have tiered password security, which stops me from having to log in to my password manager or dig out my dongle just to post something
It's ok cos all your On prem AD NTLM hashes still use MD4 ...
Anyone storing passwords not using at least one salt and something like PBKDF, x-crypt or Argon-ID is on a hiding to nothing
Salt+Pepper+Global Salt
High degree of difficulty
And no one is going to crack that with a wall of GTXs
But why bother? Social engineering works, just ask people for their password nicely and they'll give it to you, failing that it will cost you a chocolate bar....
Israel knocked out all of Iran's fuel infrastructure recently.

In previous incarnations, I have worked with large fuel station providers, and the pumps are all online for monitoring, flow control and payments.
thought it was 88.62% of all statistics. They are still one of Benjamin Disraeli's or Mark Twain's three classes: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics.
As a trained number wrangler (aka statistician) I can take any set of numbers, and with the correct sample and test, make it say anything you want
Would it be possible to fit a large barge or barges with like 4-5 Phalanx systems and float them down the Hormuz as a cheap drone defence?
Or something of that ilk, they make mincemeat of Shaheds, and while the system cost,s the ammo is cheap and the movement on them is rapid, giving an ability to take down multiple drones in rapid succession
tbf the referendum was not the problem, the fact he quit and let the rest of them sort it out when he lost, is more than enough rope to hang him.
IMHO, its Corbin that holds the wrap for losing brexit, if he'd come out and said the Labour party prefers to remain, then that would have tipped the fine balance the other way and we wouldnt be in this mess.
