What happens if you 'cover up' a ransomware infection? For Blackbaud, a $3m charge

JWLong

What?

Quote.........."Blackbaud is pleased to resolve this matter with the SEC and appreciates the collaboration and constructive feedback from the Commission as the company continually improves its reporting and disclosure policies,"

What, they figured out that not stating the problem/fault was not the way to go. And, they have the CFO as the main talking head. Major fail there I would say.

And, of course, they worry about the "Investors" more than the customers that pay their bills.

Typical corporate crap these days...............

In neither document (the Constitution of the United States, or the Bill of Right's) is the word " Privacy" mentioned.

But, I can do whatever I want to fuddel fuck their technology any way I can, and I do!

I recently purchased a new Hp laptop. The first thing I did was to open it up and physically disconnect the microphone and the camera. I have plugin versions I can use If nèeded.

I also have my own neutered version of Win10 running Win7 in a virtual machine behind a PiHole firewall/router and soon to be cable modem of my own choice as soon as I figure out what is needed to neutered Comcast.

And as far as Microblobshit, Googblobbler, Amerizonstinkfest, and the rest of the well slurping cretons are concerned, I poison the well as much as possible because there's nothing like "Bad Data" being forced up their bum that makes me smile so much.

Microsoft hits milestone to replace datacenter generators with fuel cells

Re: Dead Vets

NOPE, they should have but they rolled it out and said "lots of luck".

JWLong

Dead Vets

I'm a vet and happen to live in the city in question.

This software is a bad joke, and for 4 months vets couldn't get service (care,test,surgery,or meds) untill they rolled back to the old system. Then the VA had to play catch up to begin services again.

During this catch up period, the VA had to use actual paper processes to get things done. And it worked (paper that is).

40 Billion over cost estimates is fucking ridiculous. How many trees have to be cut down and how many Vets have to die waiting for services that they are entitled to, to justify this shit.

Maybe the VA should invest 49 billion in basic services, care, pencils and paper, and dump the "New and Improved" clusterFuck.

One can only hope and pray.....

Re: Alleged?

Re: $7.3 billion for a murder ?

Quote "I'd like to see how much administrative hassle it would create if every single company had to suspend employee access for employees taking half a day off."

Amazon does it to keep union organizers (employee's) off site when not on the clock. NLRB nailed them to the wall for doing so, but it is possible to do.

I wonder how Charters HR department feels about all of this( not really ), I bet they already have a straw man setup to take the fall for this.
