It seems strange that the chargeback process wasn't followed as this would recover the money and help shut off the POI from performing any further fraud. Perhaps there is more to this story than us being disclosed?

From clustering through replication to cloud and onto cloud agnostic, my journey as an infosec professional has meant that this week's gulf outages have been a minor inconvenience rather than a disaster.

Aren't all hearses a type of one way Uber? 🤔

As a general point, but trying to get people to do what you want them to by mistreating them isn't usually successful.

I don't think so. It's an MX carrier delivering a missile to a silo. It wouldn't make sense if it was the other way up.
