Orbituary

See my comment in a parallel conversation to this.

Quite a lot, actually. This is really a summation and not comprehensive.

• Evaluate an environment after incident:
• • looking for IOCs, determine spread
• • Determine backup status and restore if possible
• • Return environment to healthy state (AD restore, replication, networking, etc.,)
• • Lockdown of security holes
• • Advise on best practices going forward
• Decrypt environment if client pays ransom

etc., etc.

Depending on the complexity of the environment, this can take a lot of time and effort: much bigger than most internal teams are capable of doing. A client I had in Feb-Mar lasted a total of 3200 hours of work between 12 people on my team across 34 locations to unfuck the situation.

I work in the anti-crypto scam industry. I applaud their efforts. Ethical fuckery.

For the same reasons you do not care.

“I can’t be bothered to update my signature” - you could fix it in half the time it takes to post here. It’s just a weird… I’d say flex, but it’s the opposite. It’s like a sag or deflation.

813-823-6615 was my childhood number until I was 10. My mom sang it to us. Never thought to remember my lock code. 0-31-10.

What’s with your pride in being complacent?

Xitter.

It’s not specifically fault of the product. However, in my experience in this field, the only time client backups are encrypted is due to a false sense of security due to negligence and ignorance.

Veeam should not be configured by an inexperienced or underfunded tech staff.

Because Veeam can be good, but it’s only as good as the user pays for. I do ransomware recovery and incident response management for a living. More often than not, Veeam is implemented poorly and does not do what the customer thinks they paid for.

Naming convention. Internal DNS. If you’re asking this, you are woefully unprepared. If you’re unprepared, you need someone to help.

Tell that to 90% of Veeam deployments.

I have a 73 Porsche 914, it’s my second. I’ve had two 1970 Monte Carlos. Both vastly different vehicles, but both are extremely visceral cars. You’re extremely connected to the road and the vehicle.

There seems to be an abstraction layer with Teslas.

Renting one is a great idea.

Interesting take. Thanks.

Do you think that embarrassment of the purchase, ignorance of what’s good, or status prevent more buyers from talking about that? As a person who enjoys the act of driving (though not the experience of driving in this city), I should see if I can get behind the wheel of one and attempt to be objective.

It’s not just to my own driving. It’s compared to other cars around them and to other cars around me. I just as often see Tesla drivers do stupid things unrelated to me.

I was at the mountain snowboarding this weekend. Two Teslas attempted to drive up the road to park. Both got stuck in the same place, one after the other. Then, instead of backing up or getting out of the way, they just got out and walked to the resort lodge.

This is just idiotic behavior and I see it time and time again. Seattle, where I live, has one of the highest Tesla ownership percentages in the country.

I’m all for electric cars. I am trying to understand why Tesla drivers have so many morons behind the wheel.

If they weren’t all so abysmally bad at handling their cars, maybe I’d have a different take. I swear that I get cut off, stuck behind, blocked by, or otherwise inconvenienced for dumb reasons by Teslas every time I drive.

It’s like despite all the cameras, they have zero spatial awareness. Or it’s a direct reflection of what’s in their head.

Fixed the headline.

Capitalism capitalizes.

Huge. Two of my last four clients got hit by lockbit 3.0. Here’s how they got them.
