There has got to be an easier way!
Oh.
Yeah.
There are several.
Which is why no self-respecting hacker would ever go through all this bother.

Yeah, "sandboxed". Because that's always worked in the past.

Microsoft finally is telling business users that Windows 10 1809, originally released last fall, is ready for deployment -- just a month before Windows 10 1903 may start rolling out. Just in time for the new version to go into broad Beta testing (by paying customers)
|

|
Isn't it just a teensy bit sexist that they're only letting broads have it?

Don't forget the golden rule. There is no testing, like testing in production.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Thinking of terminating that underperforming or problematic employee? If you do, just make sure to protect yourself -- and your data. "Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent."

The former employee gets free food, shelter and the chance to make new friends for two years, while his former employer loses customers and possibly more. Lesson learned.

The odds of a highly experienced employee deliberately sabotaging the business in revenge for being terminated are so low that doing nothing to prepare for it is actually reasonable. The company either had exceptionally bad luck or was exceptionally skilled at infuriating people enough to insure mutual destruction.
Having no backups of customer data, on the other hand, is reckless and likely to lead to disaster in a number of more common scenarios.

The article states: the reasons why he was let go aren't important Yeah, right.
If a guy's under-performing in his first month, the most likely causes are all about bad management.
So it couldn't be because is boss was an @rsehole, who treats employees like sh1t, could it?
He was obviously a great boss, a superlative manager, who couldn't possibly instill hatred or the desire for revenge in his grateful employees.
The article states: Could Voova have avoided this crisis? Yes, and the solution would have been simple: a 2FA (two-factor authentication) system. Yeah, right.
The answer to all your security problems is handing over your phone number to every idiot and web-site that says they need it "for your protection".

2FA - something you have, and something you know.

Reminds me of an incident which happened more than 20 years ago. Just before he left, an employee who was fired changed the super-user password of the main Unix server of a branch office of a bigger company. The branch office lost all the data, as they had only to reformat the system. They had no backups. Lesson learnt the hard way.
