Will repeat that you're definitely not wrong. What do you think could be done to increase the standard of security to the required level?

You're not wrong, but reading the autopsies of most of these 100M dollar incidents suggest that having a slightly above average detection posture would eliminate most of the damage.

Another noteworthy newspiece of large loss caused by a cybersecurity incident came from Clorox*: > the incident had disrupted portions of the company's IT infrastructure... The company expects a loss per share of between 35 cents an

your commentary provides sufficient evidence either that you have absolutely no clue about things work in the real world or you're here to troll, either way I'm not going to engage

Yes, Elon has a secret laptop in his bedroom with backdoor access to the entire Starlink fleet of satellites. Or perhaps you should develop critical thinking skills and not read the "rocket man bad" takes on Elon.

Interesting product, but the site has one of the worst GDPR controls ive seen - silently redirects to Google if you attempt to view the site from an EU IP address. Thought my computer is going nuts

Such a horrible state of things. This is one area where I'm hopeful about using AI for healthcare - AI, by programming, wouldn't be able to be apathetic which seems to be a defining characteristic of many healthcare professionals.

While being a King would be a lucrative profession, I have very few qualities that would be mandatory for success in that position. I would still 100% support a more lean, highly qualified leadership versus a large pool of untalented career

thats exactly how it should be. only a small percent of people have any business in being rulers of people.

We’re super close to it given how many states have abandoned and spat on the contributing class in favour of egalitarianism.

Gotcha, thank you.

Im not well versed in mobile environments. Presumedly breaking out of the Chrome sandbox would land you within the underlying OS. Can you not build persistence there without abusing further vulns?

Well said. Many Valve products have been absolute artisanal masterpieces. Very rare today.

There may be nothing novel here for you given you're already working in the problem area, but as established a CVE measure is completely hypothetical on its own; if your customers insist on looking at one variable (CVE), you could alwa

why make a sensationalist article about quitting drinking then?

look at something like cigarettes and notice how policy tends to translate into "ban" over enough time

by waihtis 3y ago
policy is forced on you, advertisements make suggestions. one is communism, the other is free market. if you value individual freedom, you should care about these things.

Slightly funny when an institution such as Harvard still doesn't understand how extrapolating conclusions from a single variable when dealing with a complex system is janky at best and most of the time worthless Just compare these two

Outside of regulation, we also have the dumpster file called cyber risk ratings pulling more and more leverage in vendor risk assessments; good luck arguing with an enterprise vendor risk department why having 100 9.8 CVSS score vulnerabili

by waihtis 3y ago
Not to mention the completely trash cyber risk ratings industry. If you score poorly in because of their absurd scoring methods, it will potentially impact revenue streams if you have to deal with vendor risk departments, etc who don'

no mention of revenue generated by this activity, but it's not far-fetched to suggest it's a significant source of income for locals and thus a blind eye is turned to it, willfully or via bribery

Try yerba mate, like seriously. It gives you a very smooth caffeine-induced motivation boost without any of the anxiety effects. I frequently switch between that and coffee (coffee has a much more pronounced effect and sometimes you have to

Yes but that's not something you can automatically draw inferences from. Exercise is harmful to you in a short enough time interval but benefits you on the long run.

by waihtis 3y ago
why coffee and red wine specifically?
418.
by waihtis 3y ago
Does it matter if the customer benefits?

by waihtis 3y ago
You'd be correct. Anyone that actually has to deal with regulators quickly understands how easy it is to game the regulations if you're someone of Meta's stature.

Tangential, but it's a hilarious stereotype of Americans how they just bunch together the whole of Northern Europe. I'm a Finn, and in 9/10 cases when an American learns this, they tell me about their travels in Sweden or Nor
