Going to see this a lot...(Photobucket)

From what I gather, they didn't actually get any Bitcoins. They didn't actually want money. They just wanted to cause a shitstorm.

 

True story. Your tax dollars at work.

P.S. I know a lot about this stuff as well as, but I'm in Cabo watching the sun set.

 

It's sad (and scary) that "ordinary" people can get their hands on shit created by the NSA and use it to hijack tens of millions of computers and damn near cripple entire countries.

 

GEEK FIGHT!!!!!! Motherboards at 20 paces.

 

I have no desire to watch these two pull out their floppy disks and try downloading on each other

 

I'm shutting up. Dungeon material. I have a beer to watch over. That's my security threat.

My pocket protector is bigger than Broome's and it's suede.

 

No doubt but the likelyhood of it happening with limited number of sneakers is high.

 

- - But is it BLUE ? And does it match your shoes ?

 

Who the fack use a blue pocket protector? Everyone know the red ones are faster.

 

If it is anything like the corp. that I work for the IT guys are probably pretty good but some bean counter would not let them do what they needed to do to get the patch implemented in a reasonable timeframe. Any more it seems like it is always about the almighty dollar and this time someone made a bad call and it bit them in the ass.
With our company another issue is the "need" for everything to be on the network so managers with little to no practical experience can micromanage shit they do not understand from town. Connect everything to the network and you open yourself up to issues like this.

 

Client of mine is a hyooj multinational, they've been down two weeks with ransomware. Shit be delaying my A/R!

 

I hadn't seen this before. I just did a few quick searches, and thankfully, nothing is easily recognized as a medical device. The search is simple enough that it can't quite tell the difference. I'm gonna keep working on this - maybe I can show a few customers some scans and sell a few weeks of my services.

 

Rule #1 is that if you put it out on the internet, someone WILL get their hands on it. You'd think the NSA would know that.

 

Shodan is a great tool to find vulnerable items that are on the web. As an experiment I googled "shodan radiology". One of the items that came up was a radiology login that I was able to telnet into. I didn't go any further for obvious reasons. The point is, they're exposed.

 

I need to find these hospitals and send my sales dorks over to visit. This is the stuff we're doing to lock down healthcare organizations.

It's a combination of IT not knowing any better (because they don't want to touch anything that could kill or severly maim a patient, and Biomed not understanding how IT works.

 

SO has anyone found a good alternatitive to PB? I was looking at google photos but when I click "get links" it only gives me this one:

Don't you need one with the IMG code or some shit?

 

https://www.imgur.com/ Is pretty popular among the 4chan crowd

 

What is a 4chan?

(is this one of those, "If you don't know, there's a good reason WHY you don't know" type things?)

 

It's like (if even possible) a less mature Reddit.
