On ITSPmagazine hashtag#Webinars:
🚨 94% of hashtag#ransomware victims had their hashtag#backups attacked.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Organizations spend thousands on backup solutions. They follow best practices. They sleep better thinking their data is safe. But here's the uncomfortable truth: if your storage can be compromised, it will be.
In our latest ITSPmagazine webinar, I sat down with Sean Martin, CISSP and Anthony Cusimano from Object First to expose a critical gap in most backup strategies.
The statistics are not looking good:
→ 93% of hashtag#cyberattacks specifically target hashtag#backupstorage
→ Most "immutable" solutions aren't really immutable at all
→ Organizations don't even realize their backups are sitting ducks
As Anthony revealed: "People don't even know what they don't know."
The ransomware playbook is devastatingly simple: take out the backups, hold companies hostage, get paid. And here's the kicker - many attackers have no idea how to actually restore the data even after receiving the ransom.
This conversation isn't just about technology. It's about protecting livelihoods, businesses, and the people who depend on them.
Ready for the complete deep dive on ransomware-proof backups and absolute immutability?

"Koalition der Willigen" einigte sich auf Ukraine-Sicherheitsgarantien
Die westlichen Unterstützerländer der Ukraine haben sich auf Sicherheitsgarantien für das Land geeinigt. Laut Frankreichs Präsident Macron würden 26 Länder Truppen entsenden. Viele Details sind aber noch unklar.
Wie kann man einen so langen Artikel schreiben und als Redaktion "übersehen", dass das leeres Gequatsche ist?
Russland hat am 14.6.2024 klar formuliert, unter welchen Bedingungen Gespräche möglich sind. Was Europa hier plant steht dem diametral gegenüber.
Ergo ist das keine Frage von politischer Überzeugung sondern simpler Logik, dass Russland dabei sein müsste, den Krieg zu verlieren, damit die Schutzpläne Realität werden könnten. Meines Wissens ist aber das Gegenteil der Fall 🤦

Of course they're not vaccinating their dogs. What utter idiots. Maybe the Congress people talking to RFK today should ask him about vaccines for pets. I'm seeing an Onion article but it's all too real and not funny.

There are apps that can cross-post to multiple platforms, including Bluesky and Mastodon. Maybe something like that would help.
I can't recommend one over another, though, since I don't use them. And if you've tried them and don't like them, that's okay. I'm not trying to tell you what to do.

How to Cross-Post to Bluesky, Threads and Other Social Services
Two apps make it easy to share the same post to multiple social accounts.Jeff Carlson (CNET)
Oh, you're very welcome. I'm sure there are more cross-posting apps out there besides the ones in that article.
@bruce @CindyWeinstein I’m a fan of OpenVibe, personally, though I only use it occasionally. I rarely want to cross-post, but I wanted to play around with it as it supports RSS (more or less). I was playing around with the Surf beta as well, but its (lack of) support for increased font-sizes/accessibility settings made it basically un-usable for me. It got sorted (I think) a little back, but the beta is now over, so…🤷🏻
FWIW, OpenVibe is supper-easy to set-up and try out.
I don't know what's more terrifying. The possibility that Spot over there might have rabies, or the fact that Spot's owner is this level of stupid

Just summing up some facts:
- The browser company cancels its popular but not popular enough product
- …then pivots hard into AI in hopes to gain more traction
- a few months later they are bought by Atlassian
- startups are usually bought when they run out of money, can’t raise another round or go public
- a private sale then usually happens to make sure investors don’t lose money
- they usually sell to another company they did or do invest in so the money stays in the family
The only good marketing is satisfied customers telling others how happy they are. That's also the promise of boosts on the fedi displacing all other media distribution, making ads and algos obsolete.

Just in time, the #EUCommission has opened a public consultation on the revision of the #DMA effectiveness, with a deadline for Sept 24.
It's a great occasion to propose actual adjustments to the DMA text, like some to tackle the pre-install advantage, the systematic blocks of #Google Play Protect/Play Integrity, etc.
We believe we can achieve stronger impact if the Commission receives this kind of suggestions from many fronts, and not just from #FDroid.
