I see the infosec industry has finally achieved security once and for all by shutting down every workstation connected to the internet
@0xabad1dea can't get hacked when machine is down! :)
@0xabad1dea amen 🙏
@0xabad1dea Logging in to read this message has compromised the security of my workstation.
@0xabad1dea The infosec industry’s master plan: total security by unplugging every workstation—problem solved!
@0xabad1dea Mutually Assured Downtime
@0xabad1dea Ummmmm
@0xabad1dea Uf-da! That's a hit!
@0xabad1dea
Just to mention it once:
@0xabad1dea No problems here, what would one need to have done to be affected?
@0xabad1dea
They just change from **Security Through Obscurity** to **Security through bsod-rity**
I guess it works better this way.... **ta-chan!!** xddd
@0xabad1dea Battlestar Galactica approach
@0xabad1dea “Have you tried turning it off and not turning it back on again?”
Not gonna lie: Sometimes I kinda wish this would happen but solely for screens. Like, everything still works, but some glitch in the graphics driver just yoinks all monitors. Maybe then i won't have to get into a verbal fencing match with $random_designer about there not being space for text labels or with $random_product_manager about there being no budget for #accessibility. Clearly people only fix this once it actually bothers THEM, see also: COVID Pandemic.
Salty? Maybe.It's friday for me too :P #onlyHalfKidding
@0xabad1dea That's a major plot point in the TV series Pantheon. Governments decide it's too difficult to keep things secure, so they just straight up take the Internet down. 🤣
@0xabad1dea “air gap the internet” isn't a mitigation I expected to hear 😂
@0xabad1dea Maybe now we will finally be secured!
Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
@0xabad1dea @GossiTheDog It’s nice to see that this massive corporation just yeets out driver updates at the same time all around the globe that can easily brick every customer they have without any slow, canary rollout strategy.
@TimWardCam work for a company that pays for crowdstrike, which is "very many big ones"
@0xabad1dea Ah. Don't know whether I do or not, as I don't work Fridays!
