Let's hope Garmin's MIL controlled products were 100% segregated. (I work in trade compliance)

What you describe represents about 80% of the text traffic on the internet

The other 20% is food and abs pics

I haven't quite gotten my fill of saying disparaging things about Garmin, TYVM

Although the 830 has revised my views somewhat.

apparently so, thru an intermediary.

I hope Treasury investigates and any American passport holders on the BOD get prosecuted by the DOJ.

They violated OFAC. Money is what greases the fraud. They need to be made an example of in much the same way Glencore is being made an example. I am not sure what the exchange should do, since even though it is a Suisse Domiciled corporate, it is listed on the US exchange.

Don't think OFAC will agree that is an excuse.

as an IT (mostly support-side) guy, i just sigh.
seems likely the attackers had some access and privilege escalation going long before they rolled out the encryption for ransom.

if something is broken: "what are we paying IT for? they aren't doing anything!"
everything is working fine: "what are we paying IT for? they aren't doing anything!"

Did they send a note signed "Evil Corporation"...? Unbelievable.

Ha! I've long said that IT and QA are in the same boat.

Things are good: "What the heck do you do all day?"
Things are bad: "WHAT THE HECK DO YOU DO ALL DAY?!?!"
