Huge. Two of my last four clients got hit by lockbit 3.0. Here's how they got them.

The cyber police

I haven't even gotten to the text of the story, because I was stopped in my tracks by the stupidest stock photo I have ever seen, wherein someone in full riot gear with an ultra-modern machine pistol is prepared to shoot someone at point blank range, when they're already in handcuffs, which are, inexplicably, in front and not behind. And how cold is it in that basement that you'd be working while wearing a hoodie (with the hood up, of course) and a jacket zipped up over it?

Having the hood up gives you a temporary +2 boost to hacking

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is true. It even works for non-hacking developers.

I once wore two hoodies and my code compiled on the first try.

I wouldn't even call these ridiculous AI images stock photos anymore.

Edit: my bad, that one's real from a real photo shoot. Shame they blurred his guy Fawkes mask.

I hope there's no acorns nearby

Good. Lock them up and throw the key in the gutter.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Lock them up and tell them they can get the key if they send 50 bitcoin to g3tr3kt
