...Gone in 60 Seconds - redux...




Reality is a harsh teacher. 

Taking the easy way out, "Check the Box" security carries with it a terrible cost. 

The link below outlines in non-technical terms, how reconnaissance and attack via ransomware took the world’s largest shipping company, Maersk, down crippling their worldwide operations in less than sixty seconds (the actual attack that is, the reconnaissance phase?, must have been substantial). 

80,000 employees, in 574 offices in 130 countries across the globe, seventy-six major ports and 800 ships at sea, DEAD IN THE WATER...

They appear to have been big fans of “check the box” security, I wonder how they feel about those decisions now?
