Because the amount of organizations needing data backups / protection far exceeds the amount of available qualified IT personnel. So instead of training themselves, they hire morons who say “sure I can do your IT”
In the early days of ransomware I helped a small business of a friend that was attacked. They got in and waited months, creating garbage backups until they were confident then sprang the trap.
Tbh I was impressed with how thorough they’d been.
Locking a company out of their systems isn’t the most lucrative part of ransomware anymore. Data exfiltration and threatening to release the data to the highest bidder is now the norm.
Ransomware also typically sits on a system doing nothing for ~6 weeks before ever starting to encrypt and upload data. Even if companies have backups to restore from, they need to choose whether they’re going to restore entire machines quickly and risk still having the ransomware on the restored machine. Or they can take the long a painful route of spinning up new machines, then restoring just the data itself to individual apps/services to ensure you don’t still have ransomware after the restore.
Does anyone else think Americans seem to enjoy making things harder for themselves just so they can talk about the adversity they overcame?
They make healthcare paid for so you need to either be super rich or so popular you can easily fund raise a small fortune because you’ll bankrupt yourself for life just to call an ambulance.
I saw George Thorogood at the OC Fairground in 2019 and the guy who supported him was talking about how he had a kidney transplant and how proud everyone should be that they’re American because if he lived in any other country he would have died. Ridiculous.
this sort of breathless headline does not the former guy. people who like him are like, ‘oh he’s just off the cuff brash’, but no he’s like a toddler with a big box of toy guns
“does not accurately reflect”… shit. i don’t know. it’s like a puzzle i completed 99.9%. Found the missing piece the day after I set the whole thing on fire. Actually no it’s like that analogy does not even work, but shit this is not going well.
I wish Bernie would weaponize the filibuster the way Rand Paul does to block these things. I’m glad his heart is in the right place and I’m glad he does these things, but he doesn’t want to play dirty and it’s 2024, you need to play dirty when they’re willing to.
The problem with using the filibuster is that it only works when you know the other side doesn’t have 67% in the senate. With both the democratic and republican parties being in the pocket of AIPAC, I suspect they could easily get the votes to break Bernie’s filibuster.
fascism never existed because it can’t even be defined. Marxism still exist and is the leadimg ideology today and is responsible for the death of hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Yet people keep claiming fascism is the bad guy. it’s made up bull crap. The entire establishment (government, movies, media, schools, culture) is MARXIST.
