    Elon Musk's takeover of government servers

    Even if it's true, "Read Only" is still extremely dangerous. It's the data that Musk are after and "Read Only" means that he has access to everything in the systems.

    Elon Musk's takeover of government servers

    Yes, it’s a coup. Trump is just the figurehead and Musk is the real leader of the Junta. I remember reading an article in The Atlantic that Hitler needed 53 days to dismantle democracy in Germany. Musk seems hellbent to do it faster… This article by Timothy Snyder is well worth reading...

    How an unpatched Microsoft Exchange 0-day likely caused one of the UK’s biggest hacks ever

    The problem is that a lot of the latest breaches have been zero-days targeting the webmail/OWA. I know of several companies that had done the above and still got hacked because it was exploited before Microsoft released a patch for the vulnerability.

    How an unpatched Microsoft Exchange 0-day likely caused one of the UK’s biggest hacks ever

    Yes, that sucked and Microsoft deserves alot of criticism for their security practices in the cloud as well. But the fact is that there were >100x more Exchange on-premises servers hacked last year.

    How an unpatched Microsoft Exchange 0-day likely caused one of the UK’s biggest hacks ever

    Exchange Online IS more secure because Microsoft is way more focused on their cloud products and they want everyone to transition to the cloud. I wish it was otherwise but it isn’t… Tony Redmond answered a similar statement: ”Exchange Online is split up across datacenter regions and forests so...

    How an unpatched Microsoft Exchange 0-day likely caused one of the UK’s biggest hacks ever

    Sadly, I believe that it is almost impossible to run a secure Exchange on-premises environment these days. There have been a lot of breaches when the sysadmins did apply patches quickly but the attackers used zero-days. These two articles argues the same: It Really is Time to Say Goodbye to...

    Exactly! I just enabled passkey authentication from my gmail app on my iPhone and the setup process was a breeze! Took under a minute and it's more secure and easier to use than password managers and authenticator apps. I feel that this article and some comments are too negative. Just try it!
