I thought there was a blooming cyber risk scoring industry insurers could tap into? Wait, are you saying pulling and scoring Shodan data doesn’t give an accurate idea of the vulnerability of your internal infrastructure? ;-)

Mannerheim was, to put it mildly, a pretty extraordinary character. Among other things, he met the 13th Dalai-Lama in Tibet while the Dalai-lama was in exile - to whom he gifted a pistol and instructed how to operate it.

Interesting site, thanks for it. I wonder if something similar exists for the EU bailouts.

I recently learned about the real danger of fast food - the hidden sugar content. Not only does it mean hidden calories, but apparently the stomach also has neurons that can "sense" the sugar, causing dopamine spikes (and conseque

Mostly agree except for security ratings. Not only is it a wildly inaccurate measure of any organizations security, but it's potentially actively harmful also. Example: ratings vendors do a false assessment of the vulnerable state of a

Figured since we can observe the same phenomena everywhere in EU. Regardless, by this point I think it is inevitable some of the hardcore right wing politics will enter mainstream; we (as in Europe as a whole) took too many immigrants witho

Is the green party in Germany really a primarily green party or is it like the Finnish green party, which is simultaneously green and hardcore leftist? Asking because that is why voting for the green party may be a huge turnoff for many (li

Yeah. I registered, logged in a couple times to see who followed me and abandoned it. Main problem is I dont even know what Clubhouse really is. Is it supposed to be some kind of talk radio or what?

Public has considerable risk too, with a chance of having yourself physically leaving a trace into a security camera (especially in the UK) That said you’re completely right on the state of ISP router security

Not sure why youre getting downvoted, I think an nmap based attack against this kind of rotating setup sounds borderline ridiculous

Both scenarios assume a pretty heavy compromise already in place before the ssh control starts crumbling

Doesnt the TOTP in this case concern the listening port for sshd, so it doesnt actually touch the authentication in any way? Just switches the port in a TOTP’esque manner

Really cool idea. If someone is interested further in the general concept it is called ”moving target defense.”

Yeah, I guess walking hungry into a McDonalds is more risky in terms of restraint vs Subway..

I think the whole discussion is misplaced as you can eat at Subway without eating the bread; but equally you can have a salad at McDonalds.

If he manages to popularize something that is highly useful for people and costs nothing to do, how is he a joke? I'm sure 99% of the people are aware that Wim Hof didn't invent therapeutic breathing.

There is no sense to your comparison when you’re putting a criminal enterprise (which exists to do harm and harm only) and legitimate business into the same bucket.

Not this event alone, sure, but it is a step in the right direction. The attitude will need further adoption and it may drive pre-emptive actions actions ransomware instead of the "do nothing and cash out on insurance" approach

You can still pay the ransom, the insurer will just not reimburse it.

This is the right course of action. Always think about how your actions incentivize future behaviour. The only right course of action is to halt the flow of revenue to the attackers in order to disincentivize future attacks. This will not s

Not necessarily. A ransomware attack is just a subclass of your generic security breach, so the usual response & remediation activities apply. I would actually think covertly paying ransom costs being a highly unlikely activity.
