And then they should release detailed images and specifications of their new weapons technology to the public so that its easier for rival nations to plagiarize | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Of course it is. The F-35 is a single engine multirole fighter, whereas the F-22 is a twin engine, dedicated air superiority fighter. It's the same when you compare the F-16 to the F-15. The air superiority fighter is always going to be more expensive. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

And this is why I wrote a "policies and procedures" manual for my last gig. They had none, they had a server shared on and open network like any common PC and they had no legal recourse without a policy.
Now the CEO did what he pleases as did his GF (both married to other people of course) so it didn't matter.
It isn't the policy, it is the enforcement or lack thereof.

Guarantee IT was telling management the systems needed to be secured and they waved it away. When we were building our systems I and others repeatedly got into it with one of the VP’s over his ridiculous decisions about our build. He knew better than everyone of course. Even fired a BA over the pushback.
2 years later he’s getting demoted because the Sales are crap and he’s all out of other people to blame. He calls a meeting because there’s a critical process failing. I flat out tell him “Remember when multiple people told you we needed to do a bidirectional sync and you shot it down over and over? Well this is the result.” Nobody spoke to him like that. But I no longer worked under his org, I’d been moved to the parent company and was no longer worried about this guy firing me for disagreeing with him. So I told him right to his face that he only had himself and his “I know better than everyone” attitude to blame.
Best part was, because the sales team under him was so shitty, they put the team that would have been responsible for fixing this on other projects and there’s no budget in that org to bring them back. I don’t know if he could have fucked himself more if he tried. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

I'd agree. I used to be the informal IT admin at my old public accounting firm. I still have admin access because I was the only person that gave a shit about security. I'm still logged into my Microsoft account on my phone 3 months later. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Take anything you read on r/antiwork with a grain of salt because half of it is just made up creative writing excercises the same as r/AITA. Tactics that brazen are likely to be deemed constructive termination and harassment of an individual if changes aren't consistently applied to everyone else. You don't make a literal hostile work environment. The same goes for return to office orders for employees that were hired on as 100% remote and don't even live near an office. You can't unreasonably change the expectations of a job after hiring. Do some companies still do illegal shit hoping to get away with it? Sure. But that's probably because too many people let them get away with it. Enough lawsuits filed and negative press is bad for most businesses. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

You’re the person I go to when I want to hack into a company network. I don’t need to bypass firewalls and bounce my location around through multiple servers on the planet, I can just walk into the front door, politely ask someone to hold the door for me because I “forgot my key,” and then hop onto the company network using the password written on a post-it note. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

I work for a company that use to do that. We’ve recently hired “know-it-all” management at the VP and C levels. Now we’re being told how things should be done rather than asked how we should accomplish a business need. We’ve pushed back on some of the ridiculous asks but eventually stupidity has worn us down to the point that we just document our objections and continue living our lives. Only 250m has needed to be written off… so far. Let’s see how long she keeps her job. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

Those people stay because the organization really can't do any better. Can't hire better employees, can't track what their current employees are doing, etc. It's a failure of their hiring processes as well as a failure of their management. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

While I understand the general geek sentiment that *the public doesn't understand hacking,* I work in infosec and "hack" is just a pretty meaningless word - it carries a lot of stigma but describes activities so broad that the word isn't helpful.
What the dude did was use unrevoked, privileged credentials to intentionally gain unauthorized access to a test environment, then (I'm assuming) pivoted that access to the production environment, and either wiped unrecoverable servers or wiped servers and their unrecoverable backups. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
You're 100% right. That's how I found out I was in the process of being fired about 8 years ago. GSuite access got turned off a day before it should have and the next day I was led into the office.
Company though was so dumb that they did not change any of the generic passwords they used nor had safeguards in place for downloading sensitive information from remote sessions.

i think you are confusing like three separate countries
singapores 'thing' is that the death penalty is available for drug trafficking and it used to be mandatory
back when it used to be common for drug trafficking to fund gangs powerful enough to overthrow governments (thanks for that CIA) singapore decided to make it a death penalty crime and judges had no discretion or lesser sentences available | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
>So maybe this took 10 ppl a year to get everything back.
That's appalling. And here I am upset because we still have some apps that lack fully automated, fully reproducible builds, but nothing with an ETRO of over a day. 80% of the codebase I manage can come back up in about an hour.
But there's always legacy, and always competing priorities. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
As someone who's been in the security space for a very long time, I *REALLY* wish more orgs understood this.
Also a well-secured password manager is a fantastic idea, but that can be asking a lot from some of these orgs (and people). | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

It sounds like he just deleted all the VMs their QA environment was using, which is something he already had access to. It's always possible the article just sucks, but to me it reads that he just did a thing he could have done at any time while working there, and the company are just morons who didn't revoke his credentials. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

Keep in mind that logging in is still accessing. Logins are recorded. I encountered a similar situation but I absolutely 100% did not log in. I could have fixed it myself, but that would have required a login, which would have been a data breach.
After being laid off from a company some years ago, I realized I kept being sent customer data from Google analytics. At first I deleted the emails I was getting from automated reporting. The emails kept coming. I then contacted the company several times to inform them, but my contacts were ignored.
After getting (and deleting without opening) those emails for 6 months, I eventually went through the data controller process to force the company into action. This is a process required by law, with big penalties if the company does not comply.
Thats what it took to kick them into action and stop sending me customer data. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Meh, if you acted even a little bit as a employee I would just let you in and have your way.

Probably wouldn’t work today with appid.
I did something similar where a coworker was pissy about web browsing habits so they printed out a report of me and threatened to give it to the boss. I just ssh tunneled my traffic through a vps. The report came out clean aside from gigabytes of ssh traffic that somehow didn’t flag anything in their mind, I was praised for working harder when in fact I increased browsing 3x because they were annoying. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

He worked in IT, wanted revenge on ex company so decided to delete servers, and didn’t use a vpn or any form of privacy when searching for scripts and did it in country instead of when he was in India? And he really believed he did really good work in his IT role??? Seriously?
Btw Singapore is wild, I thought it was this crime free haven, did you read the other articles??
One has this as the opening paragraph:
SINGAPORE: A father who chained his son to a toilet fixture for hours at a time, leaving the 11-year-old alone with some food and water, was sentenced to two years' jail on Friday (Jun 14)
I could read that news site all day but man Singapore has some people who are kjnda fucked up. Big time. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Yeah but good luck defending that narrative to the jury as why would a random hacker have the motivation to delete everything? They aren’t going to make money that way. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Yeah if he was smart he could have covered his tracks and locked up the data for a ransom, pretending to be a random hacker, got paid and retired. Then he would have won, but also we wouldn’t know about it. Maybe there’s a guy out there on a beach somewhere who did do it. Maybe that guy is me.

[We fixed the glitch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqjQDP9KX6E) | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
I remember working for a phone company before I knew much about cybersecurity and they made us change password every 60 days too and no repeats but no joke, and this is a major national phone provider in my country, no joke, everyone’s password was exactly the same but at the end it went 1, 60 days later the same password but at the end was 2, then 3 then 4 and so on. So it was like password1, then password2, password3 etc
Every employee did this. EVERYONE. Management knew and just left it as was. Never addressed it, never educated us on security. They were more concerned about physical phones in stores being stolen than users information being secured. And this was in 2016/17 so not that long ago. I have no idea how we weren’t hacked and everyone’s info leaked. Talking couple million users. Plus what’s worse, they outsourced call centre to India, and if we couldn’t solve something for a customer it went to them, they had more access and we had to give them our details to prove we worked there. So could have got that one bad employee who sold an agents access credentials.
Writing this out knowing what I know now, it’s a miracle this company still exists. In my country anyway. They operate in many European countries, but in mine, they really dodged a bullet and possibly continue to do so. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
That must have been satisfying. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
To be fair, the burden of proof is typically on the prosecutor, not the defendant. He doesn’t need to prove it wasn’t him, he just has to introduce enough doubt.
Although this wasn’t in the US so it may work differently | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Most of the world work the same | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Well yeah, I get that but I’m just saying that any prosecutor isn’t going to ignore someone with a strong motive and opportunity and exploit that argument lol. So it seems likely you’d have to defend that point and people have been convicted on a lot less evidence. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Ethics and principles aside. Disgruntled, malicious or compromised employees are a legitimate threat to businesses. Insiders can have extensive access to systems, often due to a trust relationship within the business. In cases such as this, where one party feels that they have been treated unfairly, it can have significant consequences.
Access should only be provided as needed to perform the job function (least privilege). If the role changes, access should be reviewed to align it with the new requirements. Joiner, mover and leaver (JML) processes are often a great starting point for assessments to improve a business' security posture. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

Dude had to Google how to delete a bunch of virtual servers, accessed the server using networks readily associated with him with no attempt to mask the origin of the connection, and he’s surprised he was fired for being incompetent?
Then again, if an incompetent employee can deleted 180 VMs and not a single one of them is backed up, you’re kinda asking for it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Reasonable doubt and burden of proof are nice theories, but in *reality* what you get is a jury that just wants to fucking end the trial and go home, and are going to vote what makes sense to them immediately. You can introduce all the reasonable doubt you want, you can scream burden of proof all you want, but if the jury returns a guilty verdict you still get convicted.
The prosecutor automatically goes in with some level of credibility, and a defendant automatically goes in as someone who has been accused of a crime. Regardless of what it’s *supposed* to be like, the burden of proof is really on the defendant. You can’t just say “oh it could have been someone else, checkmate” and expect that to be enough, your legal team has to actually sell it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
I struggle to get engineers to save and backup when our software is known to crash and corrupt data REGULARLY. I cannot imagine how bad and how hard it must be to convince execs to backup THE COMPANY.
