Fingers crossed mate, if you get it you have to totally walk very pointedly past your old place of work every day to get to your new one. Bonus points if you can do a dance en-route.

Fun times! One of our board members forwarded me an email from one of our banks just now. Addressed to them via corporate email address... Dear client, Please see your transaction report(s) in the attachment #51587. Note that your account will be debited within 1 business day for the amount shown on the report(s). Client service team Of course an attachment. My routerbox scrubbed it just fine. I called the local bank it originated and actually talked to the person whos PC was sending that poo poo out. They said they were aware and IT was fixing it. How lax is a banks IT department that a user can get their PC infected and start blasting poo poo via their contacts?? From a BANK? At least I have the staff here trained to CALL ME when strange emails get through. YAY!

This stops being a use common sense this didn't come from a bank to right place got infected. Is there any legal trouble a bank could get in if the attachment caused any damages? Seems almost like gross negligence to me. Who am I kidding like the legal system is equip to handle that.

You know I use to laugh at poo poo like this and how obviously fake the email and attachment was until a major competitor got hit by a scam email. Similar scenario, spoofed email sent to a VP from a supplier known to them requesting a wire transfer for some parts. It must've looked real enough because they sent a wire for close to a million dollars. Took them about 3 days to realize their mistake and by then it was to late.

BaseballPCHiker posted:Larchesdanrew you should totally try and run a get-aduser -identity blahblah -properties passwordlastset and then shove it in front of your bosses face. You could also take it to your GM as proof that your boss purposefully kept this employee from being productive because he refused to fix his mistake. Just a tip, if you want to do this in a regular command prompt, "net user /domain dumbuser" will do the trick, and as far as I know, no special access is needed. I have a bat file in my default folder when i run cmd, so I just type "u xxx" to see the expiration dates etc of user xxx u.bat, placed in your %userprofile%: net user /domain %1

He keeps mentioning 30k after taxes. So : it's a little bit better, more like grossing 35-37k.

If he knew what vlan tagging (idk the old analyst was weird in is "qualifications" for his replacement), he could have had a much better paying job with a similar cost of living. I can't even imagine what the network/wifi/security/admin guys at my job make.

Yeah the shotgun blast style attempts are pretty clumsy, but this guy was clearly targeted. When you've got such a narrow focus the game changes from "make this obtuse as possible to weed out the smart people" to "we've only got one shot here so let's make it count."

Seems almost like gross negligence to me. If it shows up on any kind of audit or insurance claim, yes. Lots of trouble. Downgrades on IT rating or more severe FDIC/whatever authority they report to exams or more frequent scheduled inspections with increased risk of getting a camels downgrade or anything like that is baaaad news for smaller banks. By smaller I mean like assets under 2 billion-ish. FaintlyQuaint fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Sep 9, 2015 |

So a phone call came in, Cryptowall 3 is running on this clients RDS server. On further investigation its been running on there for over a week. A quick look at server files shows that only 10% or so have been encrypted. Processor and Memory on the server are constantly pinned so im guessing horrible hardware actually saved them this time. edit: apparently I cant English. blackswordca fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Sep 9, 2015 |

The Nards Pan posted:Jesus, he lose his job? He did actually. I didn't personally know the guy but he had been with the company for a while and still got canned. Sadly the mistake was costly enough that they ended up laying off quite a few people as well. On top of the added expense of them having to bring in auditors after the fact to go over their policies and procedures and their IT systems. It probably ended up costing them at least two million dollars by the time it was all said and done. There was a lot of talk at my current company about how this could potentially happen to us, would it have happened to us had we been targeted, etc. It was enough of a fear to our board that they shelled out for some in depth pen testing by outside auditors which was an interesting experience to work through. I was surprised that not only do printers normally suck, they also suck when going through security audits. Lots of them had snmp v1 or 2 installed and had lots of other security holes that ended with us either updating firmware for or turning features off. Thankfully our company had a system of checks and approvals that goes through a few people before any wires get sent out so I think we are a bit safer in that regard. Still as part of our audit we are going to be on the end of a spear phishing scheme at some point before the end of the year. Will be interested to see if we pass or fail. A lot of this just comes down to user training.

I'm sorry, am I the only one that's going to think that $30k, even in a lower income area, is ... kinda low given the responsibilities and his skill set!? I feel I know less than him in the broad spectrum (granted I am very specialized in server hardware) and I earn quite a bit more than that... (Not bragging I just think that this just might be a lateral move of sorts when he could be going more upward.) 2nd Edit: Then again moving out of that toxic environment might give a better foot hold to leap out.

I started my first CJ job in the private sector in 2005, at $25k a year. Worked there 7 years, making $31k when I quit. Now I work for the public sector, started at $39k , and 2 years later make $41k. I don't make poo poo, but living's cheap in the Rust Belt.
