@georgetakei As many have been saying; enjoy tomorrow, it may be our last Fourth of July. No, I don’t believe that, not for one minute. We will work our tails off to save our constitutional republic. We are not going to fail Benjamin Franklin. We will keep it.

@arstechnica What is amazing to me is that the software responsible - the system by which the phishing email gave the bad guys control - is never mentioned.

Systems that are this vulnerable should be banned from these kinds of businesses. e.g. "All banks have 6 months to remove vendor X from all banking systems."

Furthermore, were all of their backups also encrypted? Is so - how? How do you fail this badly at system security?

I have multiple layers of security on my systems. Backups can be added - so, a compromised system could upload an encrypted (not by me) backup.

But it cannot remove previous backups which would mot be ransomewared*. None of the systems doing backups have that kind of access.

This is almost trivial to set up. How are these companies failing so badly at this???

  • Is "ransomewared" a word? Well it is now.

@georgetakei she's right. That's so gross. Such a ridiculous broadcasting decision to put them in that position.

This is probably one of the worst case scenarios but they're all kinds of innocent sports fans falling victim to the cameras anymore for a variety of reasons and being turned into memes and whatnot.

TLDR - show fans more respect ESPECIALLY women fans when you damn well know what's going to happen on interpretation.

@georgetakei I cannot imagine any mainstream publication bringing out an article arguing that a 34-year-old man is a bad role model because he is not married and does not have children.

@arstechnica It's not really a "supply chain" - it's a dependency. "supply chain" implies some kind of financial arrangement that simply doesn't exist when using a random person's git repo.
