More than half the CO₂ emissions of the industrial age have been dumped into the atmosphere since 1990.
Restless Lip Syndrome@davidho (IT Professional); Hackers don't typically succeed because they have insane technical skills and expensive equipment. They succeed because Linda in Accounting has a lack of critical-thinking skills and/or is careless.

@RestlessLipSyndrome @davidho I very much dislike the spin of mapping the stupid decisions of Bob the CEO of giving Linda an IT environment where simply opening up #email attachments or URLs - which is part if her job - may cause the whole company get hacked.
We #IT #security professionals need to fix that spin that clearly supports the megacorps selling insecure crap instead of investing in real-world security.

No doubt, investment in robust security features is absolutely necessary. I am constantly annoyed though with private businesses both small and large that see IT infrastructure and security features as an expensive nuisance. It's just a dumb upsell until their environment is crippled by ransomware and then we the IT professionals have to step in and mitigate these dumb and greedy decisions.
