Slogans - my favourite things!
(LOG inside SANS)
Slogans aren't solutions.

I'm afraid you are wrong: SLOGANS are solutions!

In this case, slogans is a solution which sounds terribly ungrammatical.

And I thought that a dead body in a tub full of acid is a solution.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Well done - I thought it might take a little longer than that.

Nah, ISO are never that far from our thoughts!

I was hoping the "organisation" would lead you all off on anagrams...

Today my girlfriend has learned the hard way why you need to keep an eye on your personal digital foot-print. I am guessing that she was part of that massive Yahoo data breach from mid-2016 where they nabbed around a billion records. They managed to hijack her yahoo account. With that, they then managed to get logged into her Sprint account. Once they got into Sprint, they then proceeded to order 4 iPhone 7's and then had them shipped here, some empty storefront in Orlando, Florida. I guess the phones are already in S. America ready for sale to Argentinian tourists.
In short order I had her Yahoo account secured again but her cell phone account is locked down. This all could have been avoided if she switched over to their two-factor authentication like I did when they started offering it. Some digital lessons are painful to learn

I always stress to other people that you can never be too careful with your personal information online. Alas, even if you are careful, it doesn't always protect you. All of my person information was nabbed in this data breach, OPM Hack[^]. The information they got was the complete documentation gathered by federal investigators for secret and top secret security clearances, which is basically your whole life, for 20+ million civilian and military personnel.

And to think, before that I was cagy about giving up my phone number for store loyalty cards.
Every time I STIG software or a database I wonder: WTF OPM DCO?

They say that 2016 was the year of the hack. 2017 will be the year of data exploitation.

100% agree. The current prevalence of ransomware makes this pretty apparent.

I have seen ransomware sneak into protected servers. I have no doubt that, this year, we will see ransomware grow in complexity and capability so that it can infect and encrypt corporate share drives, the holy grail of got them by the balls, and guaranteed huge payouts.

Funny you mention this, we just moved a client to PHYSICAL VPNs for their external users, and now, by default all shares are R/O except that persons. And the NAS is being used to send alerts of too many files are being re-written from a single PC, and we ENABLED 48hr NAS recycle bin type feature.
We have all seen too many of these ransomware programs that get in, and encrypt their backups other data, and then the machine itself making it impossible to recover.
I have personally adjusted my backup procedures to backup to a NAS folder that is R/O except for the backup software login credentials...
It's getting dangerous out there.

Ah, so solution 2 is obvious:
Don't join the army; get a Real job!

First, I was Navy.
Second, I wish is was that easy but I was not all that smart in my youth. Bad decisions made improving my life neigh impossible and were making jail time increasingly likely. Needed to step out of my life. The military provided a life reboot and I don't regret it. A lot of people in my hometown have never been outside of the state and most have never been outside the country. I, on the other hand, have been multiple countries on both sides of the ring of fire. Seeing how the world actually works and living in different cultures has made me a better human being. You can't put a price-tag on that.

You won't hear me complain about the navy (RN, in my case).
My father was of decent rank, so we got to go with him wherever he was stationed. I'd seen half the world before I was old enough to go to uni -- and the RN puts on terrific events for their kids; it was not an unhappy childhood.

Sounds like a good reason to reinstate the draft. All people over 18 go do time in the military. It may even make the USA a better nation with less infighting.
