It's not a party until someone parachutes in.

#Monsterdon is my jam.

I've moved fully to beige.party from infosec.exchange. Why? Better connectivity is one reason.

The other is that infosec.exchange allows 11,000 character posts but beige.party allows 11,001.

+1 for beige.party

(My age? Let's just say that there is a high statistical probability that I am older than you.)

@arstechnica What is amazing to me is that the software responsible - the system by which the phishing email gave the bad guys control - is never mentioned.

Systems that are this vulnerable should be banned from these kinds of businesses. e.g. "All banks have 6 months to remove vendor X from all banking systems."

Furthermore, were all of their backups also encrypted? Is so - how? How do you fail this badly at system security?

I have multiple layers of security on my systems. Backups can be added - so, a compromised system could upload an encrypted (not by me) backup.

But it cannot remove previous backups which would mot be ransomewared*. None of the systems doing backups have that kind of access.

This is almost trivial to set up. How are these companies failing so badly at this???

  • Is "ransomewared" a word? Well it is now.
