Name five.
- Retric 11mo agoThe pedantic answer is to point to a bunch of shell companies without any electronic presence. However in terms of actual businesses there’s decent odds the closest dry cleaners, independent restaurant, car wash, etc has not had its data extracted by a hacking incident. Having a minimal attack surface and not being actively targeted is a meaningful advantage here.

- Retric 11mo agoMost ransomeware isn’t exfiltrating data. For small business you can automate the ‘pay to unencrypt your HDD’ model easy without care for what’s on the disk.
- udev4096 11mo agoThere are definitely companies who have never been breached and it's not that hard. Defense in depth is all you need
- RealityVoid 11mo agoIsn't defense in depth's whole point that some of your defenses will get breached?
- BoredPositron 11mo agoTake the OP. What defenses were breached? An old abandoned system running unmantained in the background with old user data still attached. There is no excuse.
