National Computer Security Day 2023
 |
It's amazing to watch 6 simultaneous hackers find they're firewalled one right after the other in less than a minute or so. Such is the nature of exploits anymore. You have to be as bad ass as they think they are. Necessity turned me into a cyber grizzly towards hackers, spammers, crackers, and such ... even though my start in life was cracking code in real time.
It's National Computer Security Day time to consider cyber security and it's possible impacts upon your work and property. The exploits remain out there and the perps are ready to take your ransomware booty to some offshore anonymous account never to be seen by you again.
Breaches in computer security happen every day anymore. Of late a hospital chain was hit with ransomware and they brought the whole operation down. The portends can be devasting for any operation involving the health of people and this particular impact was pretty bad ...
Both for those patients affected by cancellation of services and the reputation of the hospital system victim which wasn't proactive enough to suit me personally.
My assets are never directly accessible over ANY network I don't fully control.
You should attempt to be proactive in protecting your cyber assets in this day and age. There are available mechanisms which can make your stuff inaccessible to the cockroaches who would have their way with you.
Implementing countermeasures will go a long way to ensuring you and yours do not fall victim to the riff raff in cyberspace out to get you.
Happy National Computer Security Day and don't let them see you sweat while they try to have at you.
