Jesus Christ it’s way too soon for this. Here in DC we’re still at less than 40% of the population vaccinated.

Even if we were 70-80% across the country, it's too early. gently caress. This is loving negligent. We already have assholes flouting the rules saying "its ok we can have indoor parties no masks we're vaccinated wooooo." This is just going to embolden these idiots.

Went to the grocery today and every white male older than 40 was just wearing their mask dangling below their chin or some old dude in a rascal was just straight up not even wearing one. No one in the store will tell them poo poo either even though the routine announcement going over the speakers tells everyone to be masked, distanced etc. Worst I've seen it since the beginning of covid so far. Ofc no one else was unmasked except them.

The alternative case is that there are a decent chunk of people that are more like "well, why should I get vaccinated if I still have to wear a mask everywhere?" Giving these people the "hey, get vaccinated so you can have those indoor parties and go nuts" argument probably gets you more people vaccinated, which is the only thing that really matters anymore. The true nonvaccinated, non-masking assholes are gonna rear end in a top hat one way or another. The scientists have likely figured that the breakthrough cases are so negligible that the masks no longer help much in normal situations. Then the administration's social science people probably figured that you get more vaccinated that way too. Plus states/localities/businesses can still require masks in hotzones and medical circumstances, so it's noit a full mask-drop recommendation everywhere.

facialimpediment posted:Get your shots everyone, because the masks are coming down and it looks like a lot's going to be run on the honor system. How does this affect the Executive Order regarding federal workplaces/facilities? Gonna be some happy people at work if they can stop wearing masks anytime soon. Provided we can meet the county requirements of course. I'll laugh so hard if the dipshits that refuse to get vaccinated are the reason we still have to wear masks at work for the next year.

The problem is there’s no enforcement mechanism. We don’t have vaccine passports because Republicans will claim they’re the Mark of the Beast and there are plenty of fake cards out there. There’s going to be a non-insignificant number of sovcit assholes who will be like “YOU CANT ASK ME IF IM VACCINATED, THAT VIOLATES MY HIPPO RIGHTS!” I’m still skeptical about this. We’re at like 46% of the total population vaccinated, which still isn’t close to even the lower numbers hypothesized to hit herd immunity.

Meanwhile getting back to our other ongoing shitstorm https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1392914849903042566 If Hezbollah is entering the conflict, it’s going to be a wholly new level of escalation. They actually have rockets that go well beyond “pipe bomb with fins” and are better trained, well disciplined and have been preparing for all out war with Israel since 2006. That said there are definitely other smaller, less capable groups that could have launched a few rockets as well, but Israel will definitely hold Hezbollah accountable if even a crappy rocket hits somewhere in Northern Israel and does some damage. Edit: likely launched by a Palestinian militant group near one of the refugee camps, not Hezbollah https://twitter.com/Beltrew/status/1392916060333133829 pantslesswithwolves fucked around with this message at 20:03 on May 13, 2021 |

The Pipeline operator lied, and fed the lie to Biden. And based on other stuff I'm seeing, they were pretty much asking for a breach to happen eventually. https://twitter.com/business/status/1392847105736253445?s=20

Dumb question, but what incentive would the hackers have to release the info when paid? It's not like the pipeline company can file a customer service complaint and the hackers are already committing major crimes. Why not keep raising the price?

Hyrax Attack! posted:Dumb question, but what incentive would the hackers have to release the info when paid? It's not like the pipeline company can file a customer service complaint and the hackers are already committing major crimes. Why not keep raising the price? None. None whatsoever. IIRC the current statistic is there's only a 30% chance of them sending the decrypt after being paid. However it seems like the louder this is in the media, the more likely the ransomers will decrypt when paid. And from what I'm hearing, they did get the decrypt tool, but it was so slow they ended up restoring from backups anyways. Its important to emphasize, too, that this is as much Colonials fault as it is the ransomware group, as Colonial was skimping on security from the sounds of it, so this was going to happen eventually.

Gotcha, yeah I don't know much about InfoSec but would think once the payment was sent they would just peace out and stay off the radar.

Some ransomware groups have invested the effort into being perceived as trustworthy in order to make payouts more likely. Also CISA pushed out an alert about ransomware shutting down pipeline operations over a year ago which should have been a warning to the industry about their vulnerability (but lol of course it wasn't): https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/alerts/aa20-049a

The questions are just how well can you mitigate the damage and how quickly you can restore from backups. Sounds like Colonial didn't really ask any of those questions.

Alluded to earlier by others, but here's the article on it: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/2018-tech-audit-of-colonial-pipeline-found-glaring-problems-01620862968 quote:BOSTON — An outside audit three years ago of the major East Coast pipeline company hit by a cyberattack found “atrocious” information management practices and “a patchwork of poorly connected and secured systems,” its author told The Associated Press. Sounds like they asked the questions, got the answers, and didn't like them.
