We are the bully with billions of $, we can break your business as we wish if you dare to move a finger.
We'll destroy you. Because we can. We love that. It's in our genes.
“The OCC took these actions based on the bank's failure to establish effective risk assessment processes prior to migrating significant information technology operations to the public cloud environment and the bank's failure to correct the deficiencies in a timely manner,”
We appreciate our regulators’ recognition of our positive customer notification and remediation efforts, and remain committed to working closely with them to ensure that we meet the highest standards of protection for our customers.”
I always see PR people as ugly gnomes busy to flatter their devil masters all day long. One has to have soul ablated before working in PR.
Jamal Khashoggi killings
Was there any consequence of Saudi Arabia to kill and cut in pieces a US resident? Nope, none.
Trying to manipulate opinion was useless. Giving big checks to the ones in power is much more effective.
dezinformatsiya was a program implemented by Stalin in 1923
In Russian tactic and strategy, there's always a part called Maskirovka. It's a long, long tradition.
" charges ultimately being dropped when common sense prevailed, both DeMercurio and Wynn now have a felony arrest record that shows up during background checks"
So when somebody is declared innocent, there are still records he/she was arrested? It's shocking to me. If charges are dropped, everything should be erased, period. Especially when keeping this fallacious record has consequences for his/her future life.
Sadly it is not enough, because of subdomains registered and used by third parties. It's a way for them to elude detection and blocking. It leads to security vulnerabilities
This article (in French here and approximatively translated in english by google here) shows how an online bank website implements such things, leading to advertising companies being able to access your bank accounts.
I'm not sure it's a good news for US companies. Expect China to develop all the hardware to get rid of US pieces, CPU included. First the US companies will lost the chinese market, then the chinese HW will compete against US one worldwide with aggressive prices. Looking at the smartphone market is a good example of what could happen in any other IT related market.
Want society to be resistant to it? People need to catch it.
You promote the Swedish approach. It doesn't work good either to keep people alive or keeping jobs safe.
After the Operation Socialist, now there would be an Operation Conservative?
I mean, in the next 72h following the discover of the breach, not two months later?
If not, I bet this is a blatant GDPR violation, and I hope supervisory authorities through the EU will ask Blackbaud to provide some complementary information!
I also read somewhere that Garmin only decrypted, but didn't reinstall its infrastructure. The villains could have plant some nasty malware somewhere in Garmin's IT, waiting for being activated. They should have done it if they are smart villains.
Short-term view rarely pays in the long term.
Small businesses are de facto excluded because they don't have the ears of the political deciders. The big ones do. No, no, it isn't corruption, it's called lobbyism.
If you think it will change some day, I've got several bridges to sell for you.
Some had the brilliant idea to reintroduce Bears in the Pyrenees, with the support of the usual tree huggers living at least 100 km away. Bears are so cute, aren't they?
Now shepherds and breeders have to face attacks on their herds, over 1,100 sheep were killed directly or indirectly by bears last year in Ariège only - sheep tend to run when a bear comes, even when there's a cliff in front of them.
Yesterday a local mayor published a decree forbidding hikes after an attack of four bears on a herd for several hours. Some day there will be a human casualty, but the tree huggers will say it was the human's fault. Locals have just to deal with the consequences of a decision imposed on them.
When a CEO says that "no jobs would be shed", don't believe him and start to search for a new company.
From previous article: "Net income of $316.5m was a 0.1 per cent improvement on last year's number." and "Execs predicted "stability" for Q2" - Another company not loosing money and even gaining more showing what loyalty towards wage slaves means. If there's a little bit room left in Hell, these execs should be well there.
the company has said it "unifies all advertising channels – including TV, programmatic and social – across all formats and devices, providing marketers with streamlined, advanced media planning capabilities powered by in-depth analytics and proprietary audience data."
Something as useful for the Humanity as the Black Death
We condemn these despicable attacks against those doing vital work to combat the coronavirus pandemic
How trying to get data to save its own population is a despicable attack against those doing vital work to combat the coronavirus pandemic??
On the contrary, it seems to me not making these data public is an attack against the sick and suffering ones.
But the West has beaten China in a war - the Opium Wars.
Add also the Boxer Rebellion. China has plenty of reasons not to trust the West.
On the principle, sounds good.
However, it sounds also very hypocrite, and not only because of the US getting out of the International Court of Justice because of its war crimes in Afghanistan and is not really a leader on human rights. Is there restriction for people of Saudi Arabia for instance, after Mister Bone Saw ordered the execution and dismemberment of a US resident?
To my knowledge no Muslim country has ever spoken out against the treatment of their fellow Muslims.
Indonesia claims it did. China's influence is strong, even stronger and stronger thanks to the 'we alone and fuck you all' attitude of the US. China fills the void.
this would be extraordinarily detrimental and damaging to job creation. every employer would be scared sick to hire someone
You pretend that protecting workers from redundancy would impact employment. I think this a mantra, not a fact. For instance, see the example of Montana in the US, where there are laws more restrictive on redundancy than in the other states. Unemployment rate in Montana is among the lowest in the US. See the study of Ewing, North and Taylor, The employment effects of a "good cause" discharge standard in Montana
It cannot conceptually exist - every job cannot last forever
When you're a public servant in France, it's for life. You can't be fired except for a very severe fault.
That's the motto of most companies I know. Very few take cybersecurity seriously before a major disaster happens.
IT is seen as a cost, cybersecurity as a burden and a waste by shareholders and financial directors. As long as this paradigm endures, this situation will also.
Sometimes I wonder if grabing popcorn and watching the collapse instead of fighting windmills wouldn't be better for health. What a bloody thing conscientiousness is.
