Dzięki @mkljczk dowiedziałem się, że ten bęcwał pojawił się na Mastodonie. Co przyświeca ludziom, którzy rozpoczynają karierę w sieci społecznościowej od wyliczenia jakichś swoich straszliwie kontrowersyjnych poglądów, które nikogo nie interesują? Dobromir, weźże już lepiej idź na jakiś Onet czy Wykop, będziesz tam miał więcej kliknięć i engejdżmentów.

@Gargron

Mark is so innovative, how come nobody came up with this idea before? 🤔

@cjd

This is actually also quite rational from their point of view as reputational damage is usually close to zero, any share price drops are temporary, and media coverage is usually compassionate, portraying them as victims rather than ignorant and risk-taking idiots who put others at risk. Nobody stopped doing business with Experian or Accelion after all. Bankruptcies are rare (e.g. AMCA).

@cjd

Role of CSO and CISO is quite challenging as in many cases they will be positioned under CFO or CEO, and *their* objectives is profit, and in most cases short-time profit. Only in highly regulated institutions (like banks) CSO can stop a crappy business project from going live for security reasons, and even then you hear arguments like "oh that 2m FSA fine would be only 5% of out turnaround".

@cjd

Not cost of doing business (which implies something repeatable), the CEO consider data breaches to be more of acceptable risk, very much like preventable workplace accidents. I've literally heard that "happens to everybody" excuse and it left with my jaw open.

Part of that reasoning in case of data breaches is of course "won't happen to us" but also that it's usually not *their* data that is being breached - it's their customers' data they accumulated that gets leaked.

@rysiek

Cash payments for anything more than a bag of potatoes have been subject to KYC and general scrutiny by banks since like forever, in the UK and EU and everywhere. Main reason for that is kind of obvious: cash has been the driver of tax evasion and black market like forever too. Can't really think of a legitimate purchase today where you'd be paying 10k... in cash.

@endomain

Details are really impressive — for example BSI certification implies series of audits and best practices

@neil

Have you tried buying a house or even a car for cash recently? 🤔

Just to add to the irony, at the same day Russia also ignored ECHR ruling and deported pro-opposition kickboxing champion Aleksey Kudin to Belarus...

@cjd

I'm afraid this will be yet another "this happens to everyone big enough, it's just part of the business" argument, just as with data breaches and ransomware. Until it reaches a scale we're watching right now with the latter, when these idiots' irresponsibility and greed actually leads to catastrophic consequences.

Russia filed a complaint to European Court of Human Rights against Ukraine, accusing it of discrimination of Russian-speaking population, war crimes in Donbass etc. And this is great news, in many ways. Firstly, because this way Russia confirms it respects ECHR jurisdiction. Secondly, because an in-depth evidence-based approach is what the conflict absolutely needs, and many of the Russian claims will actually reveal facts inconvenient for both sides.

Why might have #Snowden voiced his opinion on Pegasus recently? Russia, where he lives, not only has its own Pegasus-like products it uses for internal surveillance but also exports them, so NSO is kind of their competitor
