New SEC Rules Require U.S. Companies to Reveal Cyber Attacks Within 4 Days SEC just approved new rules mandating publicly traded companies to disclose cyber attacks with "material" impact on their finances within 4 days.

#cybersecurity SEC grants companies 4 days to report #cyberattacks and up to 60 days if the company can claim national security is affected.
Far too long! What about private companies and Government? The public has a right to know immediately. thehackernews.com/2023/07/new-...

HHS Plans for Cyber 'One-Stop Shop' After United Healthcare Attack The initiative is meant to provide more resources and better strategies for healthcare entities that face an increasing amount of cybersecurity challenges.

Do it. Now!

Is this because of their product installs and updates done without explicit user consent or knowledge? Background processes checking on licensing and more updates?
I really like the products but concur Adobe has a consumer relations issues to address as it does meet the malware definition, agree.

Congrats, and have you also investigated other certifications besides Google? ISC has an entry level as I recall is at no cost. Certified Ethical Hacker, etc.

Doesn’t this require elevated permissions to make use of diskpart and bcdboot prior to using BitLocker on non-system partitions? I didn’t see that in the article, and shouldn’t RCP ports already have been addressed after WannaCry and BlueKeep?

This has gotten quite old, Google.

Their lack of authentication resulted in this mess and they deserve little sympathy as a corporation; as a corporation they do deserve massive government oversight, fines, and oversight.
Nurses, techs, every person but management deserves recognition and respect. Even bonuses from executives.

We need to make it better. Somehow.

I’m being held hostage! ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️ Every demand met, sweet baby girl!

Yes! I always forget that feature when discussing the merits of Kindle over Classic books!

Huge fan of Kindle Unlimited! Also love being able to read a book on my Kindle, switching to desktop at work or even iPad via the App, and never lose my spot.
NGL, also use the Kindle App on iPhone when waiting for an appointment. Always reading and learning.

There’s also a bunch of other cybersecurity classes and cert’s I have links to that I’ll get to later and happy to post and share. Many are no cost to learn as well as take certification exams. (I’m NOT a fan of the pump and dump certification programs like PMI PMP) The industry needs trained people

Positive/Negative experiences with Fido Alliance passkeys - specifically the Yubiico YubiKey 5 Series?

Can’t embrace password managers, feel this is the appropriate direction to pursue securing work and personal accounts.

Any issues for accounts with DUO, Google, etc 2FA?

Trusting AI to drive vehicles Is idiocy, do Americans even realize 18-wheelers are rolling on public interstates as tests alongside your family’s car?
Do you trust AI not to run them off road?
AI is decades away from replacing any decent paying job that wouldn’t be offshored. Quit drinking Kool-Aid.

The media continues to focus on just the downside of the record job growth and the same for the stock market, never giving a single accolade to President Biden. Sad.
I continue to see garbage posts about AI creating job losses. Where? What industries? It’s at an infantile state for most occupations.

time as each patient requires, aren’t concerned about bureaucracy and order what the veterans need, costs be damned. I wish every veteran’s experience could be so different, I wish I could be a little brother or foster son and help some of you warriors. Agreed, you’re treated like a damn number.

I’ve ever met, eyes lit up hearing someone who understood his culture and country. Even gave me his cell# in case Pops needed anything. Yes, the VA is overcapacity, where I work sends doctors to work there and the veterans are truly blessed because they’re from a teaching hospital and take as much

the doctor as a human being, the area Pops lived wasn’t the most culturally diverse, shall we say, and I would hear derogatory remarks about “import” doctors in the waiting areas constantly. It disgusted me and I wanted to scream at these old veterans but I let them be. One of the nicest doctors

about medical treatment, equipment, palliative care (Pops was dying of cancer) and thank God for making the connection with this doctor. We left with the trunk full, a delivery truck at the house the next day, and damn near every and anything Pops needed, all of which I attributed to talking with

me following his family visit and we started talking about India, where he was from, where many of my colleagues (they worked for me) were from, and how they usually took a month or more off work due to lengthy travel. Pops appointment ran extremely long to put it mildly. My family knows a lot

My Pops had pretty good treatment at the VA, ngl. I would honestly attribute this to my noticing the watch the doctor was wearing was a primo brand in India, which a friend got as a present for me while visiting family. I complimented the doctor on his watch, showed him the one my friend had given

Draining campaign funds more? 🤣
