Hi Pondus,

They say "Maybe bot" at your avatar, not definitely one.  ;D

Los Angeles Hospital Hack Raises Concerns About Ransom Attacks

http://www.npr.org/2016/02/22/467704573/los-angeles-hospital-hack-raises-concerns-about-ransom-attacks
Snip
I'm amazed at the fact that no one seems to wonder why this hospital and all the other institutions aren't prepared for this type of disaster ?
[/size]Where are their backups ? Attacks happen, hardware fails why isn't there a comprehensive backup plan that minimizes the risk ??? [/color]
[/size]Who is more at fault ? The hacker, the hard drive that fails or, the one responsible for guarding the information ???[/color]

Insecurity seems to be everywhere around:
90% of SSL VPNs use insecure or outdated encryption, putting your data at risk

More IRS data breach attacks than expected: https://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Statement-On-Get-Transcript
Full end-to-end-encryption, time to bring it in, to protect our meta-data against the bad guys.

Using a VPN on a full time basis seems more and more like a great idea. :)

Linux Mint no longer uses WordPress CMS on their website: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2994
Direct access to website CMS was too much of a risk, but a lot of website owners like the easy way better than the secure way.
