There are a lot of benefits to migrating to the cloud, in my experience, cost isn’t one of them. Unless of course you are mucking around with accounting tricks by cutting employees and moving that cost to services or cost of goods sold, I’m

They are all about profits from inertia. I’m seeing organizations migrate to the cloud lured by low initial upfront cost that increase once they have completed their migration. When the real bills come in people do hand waving and say the i

No one was looking? It looks like the deployment was fairly sophisticated, these typically use things like twitter, instagram to send commands to compromised devices. These tend to only be discovered when they are used to attack a target or

The details on this are very vague. No one knows or is sharing the initial attack vector. It could be a browser spear phishing attack that then attempts to use known default passwords for these routers and uploads a custom firmware image or

“because there is no negative impact on false positive, only some wasted effort by police.” This is incorrect. You don’t need to be “arrested” to be detained on a false positive hit, and being detained can ruin lives, missed work, missed fa

I’m not a huge Facebook fan these days, but I think this is an example of market expansion that really makes sense. Instead of trying to find more creative ways to advertise to users, identify new services you can sell directly to users bas

One piece of advice, never ever ever bring work from your previous or current employer to a job interview. I’ve had to reject very good candidates because of this.
