David HoWhat is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?
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.
Lee Fife - old account@RestlessLipSyndrome @davidho some interesting choices in this diagnosis of the problem.
From the lack of critical thinking in assigning culpability to a presumably low paid individual rather than seeing it as a systemic problem
To carelessly assuming gender of the person whose personal failings you appear to be seeing as causing the problem.
We IT Professionals need to do better than this. And if we don't, we shouldn't be surprised when Linda in accounting ignores us ...
@colo_lee @davidho
Would you rather me use a real-life example of a lawyer who is a partner at a top LA entertainment firm who refuses to use 2FA (and puts not only the entire firm but their celebrity clients at risk) because they find it annoying?
Any IT pro knows this runs the gamut from the lowest paid intern to the top person in the food chain at a company and gender is not a factor in who ultimately makes a critical mistake. Mastodon doesn't let me write thorough dissertations in one go.
@RestlessLipSyndrome @davidho That would be a less offensive example, yes.
