@jerry I believe this is an #InheritRisk working in the #EnterpriseSpace, especially the #FediSpace (regardless of which country you work in). While this sucks generally, it appears on the surface that this could have been avoided by simply installing AV updates? That's #Security101. Especially after they were already attacked. #ShouldHaveKnownBetter.

Not too comfortable with a 7-year jail sentence, but without knowing their local laws around this topic I can't really speak to that in depth.

It is another hard example of why regular #Patching and #SystemUpdates are essential - at work and especially at home. Even if they are manually applied! It's not just good #CyberHygiene, in many instances it is a regulatory or #LegalRequirement.

@beni No, I don't do networking stuff. I just thought it was funny they put the stuff in the public bath room in the front lobby.
