No, they were pretty happy with me and I remained on as CEO or whatever.

Social engineering man. One nice thing about my company: We're still small, and everyone except the SWE team works in one place. Far less likely to fall for this stuff.

SMBs definitely have a huge advantage in this area.

We've been getting the "I need to change my payroll information" emails, and, they are obviously fake - But the COO can just yell "Hey, Bob, you send this?" "No" The end.

Can you fish them in reverse, get some identifying info, and turn them in?

I wish. If they're half-smart, they're 1) international and 2) using VPNs.

Transunion. The most insidious part of these hacks isn't the actual hacker, it's the company not telling employees, vendors, and customers their PI has been compromised.

Did I mention the stat I saw on T-Mobile? How many times do you think they've been hacked since 2018?

That's funny.

It's 8 times. 8 fucking times for a big corporation!

1. At some point it would really be great if those worthless bags of mostly water in DC would start treating hacks seriously. This is not a D or R thing. Resolving this should have bipartisan support, and Wall St support.
2. Can any IT department really protect themselves? Is anyone "hack proof"?

I figure it's like secrets. 3 people can keep a company secure, if 2 of them are dead.

Social engineering is harder with fewer people. And that's a primary vector.

Air gap everything so in order to access data you need an air duct, pulleys, and Tom Cruise.
