SECURITY RESEARCH AND DATA PRIVACY
Always Rambling on about Games and Security
Watch your back
Lack of investment makes you vulnerable to Cyber attacks.
Poor digital hygiene - Lazy system admin, default settings, Poor system patching or updates. Lack of training or poor user awareness. No strategy Poor alignment with business strategy. Poor monitoring - What happened, when did it happen and why.
Improve this, enjoy an easier online presence and enjoy your orange juice.
I find it really difficult to deal with people who ask for my professional advice and then turn around and argue with me or blatantly reject my guidance every time.
Week, months and sometimes years later, I’m proved right.
Banks are now targeting small business with Cyber Crime insurance….really. How the hell are you gonna prove you have been breached as opposed to poor digital hygiene. Leaving a weak password on your office Network is asking for trouble and near on negligent.
I doubt whether an insurance policy will cover you if you fail to patch your systems or set-up 2-factor for yourself and your users.
This is money for old rope and a potential cash cow for insurers to Win while your lose.
I’ve got no time for this….me out.
I handled this Winter season badly this year, took too much for granted and romanced past good years.
A mix of poor wardrobe storage, low-cost old clothing and a massive lack of inspiration. This triggered a pretty continuous wave of low-level depression.
No car meant I had no personal winter travel bubble with my Jazz, was seriously limited to public transportation routes and always exposed to the elements.
Uncertain living conditions meant I was never truly confident with buying anything major as I may have to up sticks and move.
So I am determined to make 2018 Winter Season a happier one.
More of London, more Florida.
This is all gonna take more resources mainly time and money.
When a Loved one is in chronic pain the only thing to do is help them with medication.
I’m rubbish at checking my online messages and sometimes go digitally AWOL. This causes a different kind of pain….Unreachable.
I took a quick look at some Computer Misuse Act 1990 cases just trying to find some common denominators.
What kind of internal controls failed?
Did the perpetrator leave too many digital breadcrumbs and careless whispers because of emotion?
What defences did the perpetrators have? I.e. IDS, logs, VPNs, Encryption
What was the real goal of the crime?
Who were the technical accomplices?
Did they know it was wrong? i.e. linked to Malicious Communications Act 1988
