Another massive ransomware hack by Russian hackers. I'm sure they've learned their lesson and will stop doing it after this one though, couldn't possibly be something they will keep doing profitably forever and ever until stopped by external forces.

Despite being a largely digital economy, companies continue to view IT and Security especially as "Cost Centers" not worth investing in during their rush to market, and most companies view ransomware as nothing more than a cost of doing business now.

its cheaper to eat the disaster and let insurance pay for it all than to spend the money yearly to make it not a worry feature, not a bug.

Just to be clear, this is not a new way of thinking. Companies have been just letting people die horribly and calling it the cost of business for a long time. We just have new tools so they can do it faster and more publicly now

Proud Christian Mom posted:its cheaper to eat the disaster and let insurance pay for it all than to spend the money yearly to make it not a worry This may be the only thing that forces change, actually, as the instance of ransomware is increasing, and Cybersecurity Insurance providers are getting sick of paying out for simple issues.

Correct, but when every single policy is turning into a payout in pretty short order they have a bit of a problem. Insurance is predicated on most people paying into it not actually cashing out

They are already doing this in some places, I had one client who had refused to address a finding we exposed, they got popped through that finding, and their insurance company told them to pound sand.

One of my clients got told to get hosed by their insurance company a few years ago. The division in question did their own in-house IT and was very bad and insurance basically told them to stop sucking at it because it sure looked like negligence on their end.

My question is if the people who are making the cost of doing business decisions realize that they are doing this to themselves They have the goose that lays golden eggs, and are squeezing it for all the gold NAO NAO NAO

its just not CEOs of shipping companies or whatever saying "this is cheaper, do it", the security products and services theyre buying are often fundamentally flawed because of cost cutting as well. for example, todays tweet thread about Kaspersky's Password Manager, which is basically useless https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/1412411435842519049?s=20 our entire market is built around the premise of "what delivers more bonuses to the c-suite and more cash to the shareholders this quarter" and virtually every industry reflects it.

I remember a thing that just mysteriously vanished about a decade ago when they started getting big about the Russian government leaning on them to put in backdoor code, which made me distrust them,and really any Russia based security firm.

Yeah Kaspersky is a pretty hilariously thin FSB front at this point. No moral outrage from me, considering the NSA compromised virtually every American tech company too.
