Why should they not be on the offensive also? Wouldn’t it be a bit naive to think that the US would sustain from offensive cyber ops, when the other major world powers actively do so?

Anecdata from my own grandparents (am Finnish) - diets were a bit less in calories, but also much simpler in nature. Finland has changed dramatically in the last 20 years, but say up to 1990's we didn't really have McDonalds, impo

FYI I’m not the original poster who commented on the terrorism aspect, but I think ransomware is difficult to categorize because it is often a spray and pray-type attack. And occasionally a vulnerability and other infection vectors line up

I get your point, but the tone in some of these is borderline defensive of ransomware. As if it would be legit otherwise, except they just misfired in this case

Everyone blaming the hospital for mismanaged IT is missing a couple things: 1) Hospitals are usually swiss cheese in terms of vulnerabilities because patient safety overrules most security issues. It’s very difficult to patch in time 2) Hos

Why are people making such a huge deal about who they were targeting and who not? Ransomware is digital extortion. There’s zero honor to it in any case.

What’s wrong with financial penalties and jail?

I think you’ll just get less competent people with the same levels of greed. I’d see involving more skin in the game as the solution, not decreasing the rewards.

Preface: May be biased, as I run a honeypot company. To your question: absolutely. They are also a very economically effective and (done right) an easy-to-implement solution with very low-to-none risk of jeopardizing any legitimate traffic.

I run a cyber software company with a product basically structured on this principle (deception.) The swiss cheese picture is excellent, since that is how stuff happens in the network internals, with lateral movement and other internal acti

Your quote prompted me to read the Minitel wikipedia entry, and apparently there was still 10 million monthly connections on it in 2009. Unfortunately it was retired in 2012; would have been interesting to see how it would fare today.

There are so many "numbers" reports in the cybersecurity industry without any kind of way for validating the claims that I think all of them have equal value - close to zero. The only source of truth in this industry is speaking w

How does it make me ”special”, if the majority is exactly the same as me? I think that’s the opposite of special.
