Ask the UK how their public healthcare system handled Wannacry.

We need to have public healthcare for securing it to really be a priority right? Seems like the UK is way ahead of us on this front.

Voting for the guy who voted to lift restrictions on oil exports leading to expansion of drilling in the Appalachian Basin and a tripling of US oil experts in two years and in 2019 has no real stance on public healthcare just because he has knowledge of infosec is definitely the gooniest take

I don't see how cyber security and public healthcare are mutually exclusive? One is a matter of national security and the other is a matter of domestic welfare. But given how horribly secured most healthcare systems are, it's probably best to have both working in tandem.

There was a post in here a few days ago about a group of armed men that stormed the North Korean embassy in Madrid and took a bunch of documents before fleeing. Most local papers pinned it on the CIA, but WaPo is reporting that it was probably a North Korean resistance group named Cheollima Civil Defense, whose goal is to overthrow the North Korean Government.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...m=.514452439016

quote:

The group behind the late February operation is known as Cheollima Civil Defense, a secretive dissident organization committed to overthrowing the Kim dynasty, people familiar with the planning and execution of the mission told The Washington Post.

The group�s alleged role in the attack has not previously been reported, and officials from the governments of North Korea, the United States and Spain declined to comment on it.

. . .

�This group is the first known resistance movement against North Korea, which makes its activities very newsworthy,� said Sung-Yoon Lee, a North Korea expert at Tufts University.

The identity of the assailants is a particularly sensitive topic given the delicate nature of Trump and Kim�s relationship.
. . .

Any hint of U.S. involvement in an assault on a diplomatic compound could have derailed the talks, a prospect the CIA would likely be mindful of. �Infiltrating a North Korean embassy days before the nuclear summit would throw that all into jeopardy,� said Sue Mi Terry, a former Korea analyst at the CIA. �This is not something the CIA would undertake.�

The agency declined to comment.

According to Spanish media reports, the assailants tied up the embassy staff, put hoods over their heads and asked them questions. They spoke in Korean and appeared to be Asian.

. . .

The Cheollima group, which also goes by the name Free Joseon, came to prominence in 2017 after it successfully evacuated the nephew of Kim Jong Un from Macau when potential threats to his life surfaced. The nephew was the son of Kim Jong Nam, the North Korean leader�s exiled half brother who was assassinated in a nerve-gas attack in a Malaysian airport in 2017. Kim Jong Nam was widely believed to have been killed by the regime, making his son a likely target.

Members of the Cheollima group transported Kim Han Sol out of Macau with the help of the governments of the United States, China and the Netherlands, which provided travel and visa assistance, the group told the Wall Street Journal in 2017.

For safety reasons, the leader of the group does not disclose his name, and his identity is known only to a small group of people.

In March, the group published a manifesto, calling on North Koreans inside and outside the country to resist Pyongyang in ways big and small.

�To those within the system who hear this declaration: We call on you to defy your oppressors. Challenge them openly or resist them quietly,� the declaration said. �To those of like-mind and like-spirit of our diaspora: We call upon you to join our revolution.�

Since the attack on the embassy in Spain, the group has asserted responsibility for the defacing of the North Korean Embassy in Malaysia�s capital, Kuala Lumpur, on Monday. Authorities said four men who wore hats and face masks painted the graffiti. The group has not claimed responsibility for the raid in Madrid.

�In its messaging, the group said they have formed a provisional government to replace the regime in Pyongyang,� said Terry, who is a scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. �They have now shown the seriousness of their intent and some capabilities to carry out operations. We will see in the coming months the extent of their capabilities.�

I was making a joke about hot sorcery's post, which implied that it's a zero sum game. For the uninitiated, the NHS' entire network was taken offline in 2017 by Wannacry, which turbofucked the healthcare system for a number of weeks. Yes, we need public healthcare. But cybersecurity is also incredibly crucial to protecting critical infrastructure sectors, which includes, among many other things, hospital systems. It's possible to be in favor of two things.

e: NHS, not DHS. Been flying too much.

I love all the people who are just absolutely determined to misunderstand everything she says and then attack her for being stupid for saying what they think they heard. Hmmm, "thoughts and prayers". Where have I heard that phrase lately? drat I just cannot possibly remember it. What that you say, there was a mass shooting in NZ? drat I just cannot remember where I heard that phrase. Oh well time to poo poo on AOC and say she's attacking the murder victims' faith.

Look, we offered our thoughts and our prayers. What else can we do to prevent this tragic incident that we've enabled by coddling right wing fringe groups in order to preserve our shrinking grip on power???

Seeing some (completely unconfirmed) social media stuff about the second mosque attack being cut short because somebody started shooting back at the terrorists, so there's some good news at least (hopefully)

I'm a little late, but I find it really unlikely. It's possible someone lived nearby and had a gun in their home and was able to get to it in time, but carrying weapons here is enormously illegal outside of hunting purposes and if you carry a loaded one, enjoy prison.

So the President just equated the situation on the southern US border with the imaginary situation that motivated a mass shooting in NZ.
