I’ll give you a piece of my mind.

Just kidding. Thanks for the correction

Give Swindon a chance.

Thanks for the recommendations! The only one I don't have already is Slime Rancher, which was 75% off!

Any recommendations?

I experienced an instant game over a couple hours in on my first playthrough on the crashed nautiloid. When I found the wounded mind flayer, I tried to peer into his mind and failed the roll leading to him overpowering me. I became a thrall while Asterion and Shadowheart watched. No option to revive during the cutscene.

I'm 2+1 and tested positive for COVID last week. Immunity wanes.

I hope you're right that it does phase out. Here is evidence that having cyber insurance makes you more of a target.

DS: Do your operators target organizations that have cyber insurance?

UNK: Yes, this is one of the tastiest morsels. Especially to hack the insurers first—to get their customer base and work in a targeted way from there. And after you go through the list, then hit the insurer themselves.

I agree with the author's solution to organizations of protection and resilience and that paying ultimately hurts everyone. If everyone refused to pay, we may see these types of attacks diminish.

The challenge to cyber security professionals will always be the convincing senior leadership to understand why not paying is better in the long run.

Having that conversation in the moment is too late. There needs to be a cyber attack response plan communicated and approved before disaster strikes.

Even so, there will always be the friction of cost. Senior leaders will weigh the cost of paying to the cost of downtime/repair and the social stigma if your company provides a service to customers. If your original argument isn't strong enough, cost will win.

One more point is paying is also a systemic issue. Cyber insurance is becoming popular for business. What we have seen with some insurers, their solution for ransomware is coverage to pay the ransom, perpetuating the problem.

Thanks, appreciate your concern. I'm trying to rest, but unfortunately soundly sleeping has been challenging. My nose is congested but still dripping if that makes sense. My mouth dries out and I'm waking up constantly. I'll try to get some reprieve beyond the 5 days.

This resonated with me. The prolog is so long I didn't finish either. I also tried Red Dead Online which was quicker to getting to the action, but just didn't take with me.
