Khan cant

In the latest chapter of Sadiq Khan's transport masterclass, TfL has fallen victim to a cyber attack, leaving Londoners wondering if the hackers might actually improve the service. The once sluggish system has now come to a full standstill—not thanks to signal failures, staff shortages, or strikes, but to some anonymous keyboard warriors who, ironically, seem to be running the show more efficiently than City Hall. Perhaps Khan was just ahead of the curve, outsourcing TfL’s operational collapse to cybercriminals because who needs a functioning transport system anyway? After all, nothing says "progressive leadership" quite like grinding London to a halt with a touch of digital sabotage. Bravo!

Must be gov driven

Lies lies lies...The cloud, once the fluffy, weightless symbol of digital freedom, has realised its worth—just like electric cars. It’s no longer content being the invisible hero of modern life, where we merrily stored cat photos and Netflix binge histories for next to nothing. Now, the cloud has woken up and thought, "Why shouldn't I demand a small fortune for letting humanity float around on virtual cotton candy?"

Just like electric cars—once the eco-friendly, guilt-free solution to saving the planet—the cloud was the solution to our tangled wires and clunky servers. But just like electric vehicles that once quietly hummed along, revolutionizing transportation, their prices have begun to soar to new heights. It’s almost as if the cloud and electric cars are having a secret meeting behind the scenes: "Hey, batteries are expensive, so should be your data storage! Why? Because... innovation!"

Now, with prices rising, it’s like both the cloud and battery-driven cars are saying, “Oh, you wanted to save money *and* the planet? How adorable! Here’s a premium bill for that privilege.” And what are we to do? Grin, bear it, and take out a second mortgage so we can continue to upload selfies while driving our electric SUVs into the digital sunset, all while both the cloud and electric cars wink knowingly at each other, sipping overpriced lattes made from ethically sourced server racks and lithium-ion batteries. All fools to the slaughter

Cyber time

Cybersec will break everything, then rebuild it, their way!

Best medicine is...

the closer to the real thing the better, do you think perps think about feelings, 'oh we better not do that, it's cruel!' get a grip ffs. Best medicine is, think like a perp, act like a perp and fish out the weakest link for thorough training, or your business might end up dead in the fishy water! You need everyone to spot the disease ridden trout! Oops, No harm intended mentally to trouts, especially ones with a pout. No wonder this world of techbola is fukd. Feelings?!!feelings!!?!! fvk feelings, keep the money rolling in. Rant over!

Hit lynched

Hitman professionals lynched the decepticon. Left is never right.

Gaol

Go to jail. Go directly to jail, do not pass GOogle and do not collect 200billion. Or use the nonmonopolistic wider web, that'll drop them a buck or 2.

Its that time...

get the razerz out, ready? oh! still in business, razerz down team, still running, back to ripping the try hards off.

Ice ice baby...

With global warming cooling down, there be more penguins shuffling onto drives near you soon

4999...

Will do just nicely!

Sack the admin team...

...for not disabling the account quicker. They got what was coming. Idiots!

Typical capita

they lost the NATS contract due to terrible management. but, it never ceases to amaze me, how paying gov for contracts always gets garbage in the door.

Same scenario

Linux server, back room of store, server not responding. Asked staff to go and make sure it was on. Staff came back, it is on. Now we could see server. Week later, same scenario. Called staff, is that server on in back room? Yep on return. It responded again. Scratching the grey. Next week, same scenario. Ghost of the back room server on same day, different times, and before the store opened. We asked the question, does anyone go into the room on that morning near the times stated. Yes was the response, the cleaner goes in. Then it all started coming together. We asked the staff to mark the socket plugs not to be unplugged. It never happened again. I wonder why! Oh and before you comment. No UPS was in line. I know, its stupid.

Every contractor get out

Teach these idiots who grab as much as they can for their own pockets a big lesson. It's about time the people of this country took back control of themselves. Teach these legislators a massive lesson, gov idiots who couldn't regulate a cup of coffee. I worked for the NHS as a contractor. I gave out 100% all the time. I remember a consultant stating, if I get my way in here, I would get rid of all the full time staff and employ in contractors only. As contractors get the work done. Now we are all f*****.

Too much information stored to protect

I work for a large corporate company. They got hit by ransomeware a while ago. Too big for their boots and too many idiots working in IT, probably the same impact from this scenario. When I done server and network admin inhouse. I nailed everything to the floor, you got nothing, unless you give me a great reason for wanting access to it. Written in stone is good and signed by every pen pusher onsite.

pen before knowledge scene again...

The typical reason behind this is, your non technical pen pusher in finance who signs off as, we will go with this cowboy outfit, as they are the cheapest. Bring in the GDPR lawyers now, to spanked the pen pushers ass.

Hmmmm!?

dirty code was it...outsourced was it...cheap and nasty probably...profit before lives again...its like woohoo! windows 10 is out, upgrade your system from windows 7 to windows 10...we in IT say…no...we will wait until it stabilises and mostly all the bugs have been squished...but wait...windows 10 is given for free...everyone jumped on it... stupid people!

BT are great

I have been with BT mobile and BT Broadband for a few years now. I would not settle for anything less. The company is fantastic, they have provided a better Service than Vodafone ever could and I was with Vodafone for a few years, until they messed me about. Vodafone are Scammers. BT are the best provider by far.

Lacking knowledge...

People need go be more vigilant with emails. The cyber attackers are preying on the minds of the people who do not know any better. Train them to spot the hacker

Pro 3 still as good

Surface pro 3. had it from the start of the 3 launch. love it. Would not change it for the latest, do not feel the urge to spend needlessly, good res, good sound, pen works. it is still a good all rounder.

personally, i do not think the 4 or 2017 could do any better.
