Re: Got Brexit done?
Great idea: we would only need a room in a small hotel somewhere. Should be a smash!

Not sure I believe you on this. I have responsibility for a number of staff in my London office and almost three quarters of the staff are EU citizens around 200. Not one member of staff has reported any problem with being able to stay in the UK. In fact I have one Bulgarian staffer who started before Christmas and told me how impressed he was that the Home Office went out of their way to show him the steps he needed to follow to stay here permanently if he wished.
Hell's boardroom is a place of tranquility and calm in comparison to some of the scrum retrospectives I have been forced to host and review.
If there is a tool for the 8th circle of Hell that they want to use to torture the souls of BitCoin fraudsters then it must be making those souls allocate how much time they require for suffering and torment in Jira.
"To obtain membership in Burkov’s cybercrime forum, prospective members needed three existing members to 'vouch' for their good reputation among cybercriminals and to provide a sum of money, normally $5,000, as insurance,"
I have never heard of criminals needing references from other criminals. Surely this sort of defies the object of being a crook? Who knows, next we could be seeing Boeing asking their developers to prove that they can write software?
Ok, a returning space shuttle hitting a 737 Max which then changes its MCAS profile and crashes into your car might well be very unfortunate indeed. But not impossible. And please do not forget that that is more likely than anyone winning the Euromillions jackpot, so be warned.
At sea as in commerce, the best defence against both icebergs and pirates is a sharp look-out.
And a minigun. With a fsck load of ammo.
Part of the problem is that Travelex's developers or their DevOps team seem to have been scope-locked onto using AWS for hosting, while apparently not ensuring a security group protocol and not having a clear backup policy; something unthinkable in this day and age. A relatively simple audit of their digital estate would have revealed this and (heavens forbid!) someone might have recommended that since Travelex were very much Microsoft orientated that they move to Azure hosting, which would at least have ensured automated backups of sites, databases and the API.
Not only that, but also someone would have been able to quickly work out that Travelex was using a framework that was effectively discontinued in 2012 (.NET 4.0.30319) and that it might be time to upgrade to something a bit more current.
Oh and we have a name to blame for this fiasco.
an AWS security architect worked with us closely, shared industry knowledge, and ultimately helped us
Remind me not to employ AWS security architects in the future. :)

Hah! My brood know that the the only way they can contact me is via Signal or, if it is important, by simply telephoning my better half or myself. They have been taught that Facebook, Twitter etc are obviously the evil spawn of Rupert Murdoch, Mark Zuckenberg and other global Illuminati.
Of course they pay as much attention to that as any child would and go back to direct messaging each other on Twitter.
Pointedly, the judge observed later on: "We take a rather different view over here… we rather regard any resort to the privilege against self-incrimination as a black mark."
Dear God, that a UK judge actually has to say that in a UK court of law. I am so looking forwards to, "We find against HPE and furthermore refer this case to the Crown Prosecution Service for further action". What a truly despicable company (not that Autonomy were much better mind).
