You’ve heard of ransomware, deepfake scams, and business email compromise. But what about bread bag cybercrime awareness? 🥖

In Belgium, police have taken to printing cybersecurity tips on bakery bags. Yes, really. Forget TikTok or Instagram ads, this is crime prevention via a crusty sourdough.

The initiative targets people who aren't scrolling social media 24/7. The idea is simple: warn people about online fraud and digital scams using something they actually see every day - at low cost.

When I suggest that people will game whatever metrics we put in place, I'm often met with shocked indignation. We would never game the numbers! And yet we do.

I took my car in for service this morning and I was asked if it was ok that they split the bill across two transactions. "You're being measured on number of cars through?" I asked. The answer was obviously yes, and this way I counted as two cars.

It's not just a matter that the numbers are now wrong, we have now introduced waste into the system. There were two credit card transactions rather than one. Two receipts instead of one. There was additional time for the workers to explain why they wanted to do it this way. Overall, this was complete waste, but because they felt they were being judged on the count of cars through, it was justified.

If people think that they'll be judged based on measurements then they'll game those. The more judgement, the more the numbers will be inaccurate, and the more waste will be introduced into the overall system.

You might think that I'm opposed to measuring anything then but that's not at all true. I'm a big proponent of measuring those things we want to improve. I'm just a realist and recognize that we have to design our measurements very carefully. If we measure the wrong things, or in the wrong way, we'll drive the wrong behaviours and that's our problem to solve.

Some closeups of my Grunling embroideries :)🌱 I`m concentrating a bit more on drawing, illustration projects and my game right now but I want to get back to this new craft soon and get T-shirt embroideries ready for you. (I`m doing these myself with an embroidery machine, these bags and pouches work well already but thin shirt fabric is more difficult)
Which one of these do you like most and which Grunling should I add?

And from the WTAF dept, quite a bombshell from ProPublica today:

"Microsoft is using engineers in China to help maintain the Defense Department’s computer systems — with minimal supervision by U.S. personnel — leaving some of the nation’s most sensitive data vulnerable to hacking from its leading cyber adversary, a ProPublica investigation has found."

"The arrangement, which was critical to Microsoft winning the federal government’s cloud computing business a decade ago, relies on U.S. citizens with security clearances to oversee the work and serve as a barrier against espionage and sabotage."

"But these workers, known as “digital escorts,” often lack the technical expertise to police foreign engineers with far more advanced skills, ProPublica found. Some are former military personnel with little coding experience who are paid barely more than minimum wage for the work."

Na redet noch irgendwer von Spahns Maskenskandal?

Sehr ihr, das Richterinnenmanöver hat sich gelohnt.

Methode Trump: Einfach von einem Skandal durch den nächsten ablenken, so lange bis allen die Birne schwirrt, alle Grenzen von Anstand und Demokratie geschliffen sind und keiner mehr Energie hat sich noch aufzuregen.

Läuft bei Jens.
