Six week task list:
- Train my replacement.
- Register down at the jobs office.

- Write ransomware targeting Maersk, using insider knowledge of networks and procedures.
- Short Maersk stock or buy put options.
- Release malware.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoNO Assuming you don't want to go dark on them Ask so when does consultation begin (call your union rep if your a member) and make sure you all get an enhanced pay off Start looking for a new job - experience in fighting a big attack like this might be of interest to various TLA's (assuming your grandparents are native born citizens) I you find out early take your annual leave Make sure to take your laptop home if you have one The last two are in case mersk do what some other big European companies have done and try and avoid paying out - one case I know of was a uk subsidiary being made bankrupt
- logfromblammo 7y agoOh, I forgot about the consulting angle, where one could potentially get paid to come in and help fight the malware that they wrote. No one better qualified, really. They ought to remember to charge more for the consult than it would have cost to pay them off to unlock the ransomware, too. In case anyone needs a Poe's Law check, this was all insincere. I was just trying to draw attention to the fact that Maersk is essentially drawing a huge target on their back for aspiring malware authors, by firing the people that pulled them through their last crippling encounter with malware. It is extremely unlikely, when they get hit next, that any of their former employees will be involved. (And even less likely that any of those people will still be around to pull their asses out of the fire again.)
