In the manufacturing world the Industrial Internet of Things has become the latest fad buzzwords. A factory where every device and sensor sit on the network and are accessable to everyone.

I always roll my eyes at this because of the massive security risk. Minimize interfaces and connection points to the ones you need, not wholesale interconnectivity.

And less assholes doing this crap for nefarious purposes.

Have you met people? People are the worst.

If only there was some kind of pandemic to lessen the number of biped assholes walking around.

Sure. But if we're going to count on humanity producing fewer assholes, well... I'd rather put my faith in the engineers.

This. We need to place our fate in the hands of engineers and scientists. God has fucking failed us monumentally.

The hackers are probably engineers.

The hackers are probably engineers.

if they were good engineers they wouldn't have to resort to hacking.

[binary visions]

Undoubtedly.

I have a career because of those engineers. So, uh... keep up the good work, guys?

CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKER

They are back. So, they paid the russians?

 

[maxyedor]

You guys have to reset something to get it back? Still very Russian on my телефон

Reminds me of my 1st mandatory russian lesson in the grammar school.

I don't think anyone knows yet.

It's usually not worth paying the ransom. First, it's often flat-out illegal, because the groups or countries either have sanctions against them, or are considered terrorist organizations, or other kinds of classifications which make giving money to them a crime.

Second, while you almost always get your files back, it's not possible to trust any of it. Consequently, you end up rebuilding your entire infrastructure anyway.

not directly, they used the orange one's "people"
