Check Point Research combing through the Conti leak and extract org structure and modus operandi of this cyber crime group which is actually a start-up company

Why is this a .com site and not just a post on Medium? :-$

This is similar to the experience of driving a car and listening to music at the same time. When you are in a tight situation, like a very busy road or a narrow street with lots of traffic you'd usually stop talking to the passengers or turn the radio down a bit to "concentrate". It's because you want to use all the mental capacity at that time.

How difficult is it to just deny access for a few IPs? Firewall, ACL, something?

Poor CEO, be dragged through this for nothing..

I bet they also get more money. Come on.

Really liked this post.

If you want to eat in a restaurant it's better not to look in the kitchen :-|

Will MSFT fix their earning statement then? :-P

Really liked this blog post. Thank you. I've always found eBPF to be "magic"

:) Same here

Maybe not so well

Thanks! I was thinking perhaps surveying customers after purchase/renewal to tick multiple selection boxes and say which features they liked which contributed to their decision. Still it can be a combination with the new marketing campaign but at least I will know that feature X is one of the reasons they decided for the product.

Thanks! You know what, I think I wasn't accurate enough with what I'm asking. In our org when I decide on a feature I know to say that customers need and want that feature. What I don't know is how to /measure/ it even after it is generally available. For example: Lots of customers say "yes I need X, if you build this that'd be great". So we go and build X. Release it. Customers use it. Now the question is - how do I know it helped increase sales? If sales didn't grow more than it usually does (by inertia) does that mean feature X did not contribute at all?

I am a middle manager, so have quite an influence but not ultimate decision. I do have to justify projects to my managers. The KPI is clear, we are trying to increase the sales. But the product is so large that it is extremely difficult to measure the contribution of a single feature. Also, the client base is very large and as I mentioned thousands of sales persons so no matter who I ask I can't get clear answers. That's why I'm trying to find a measurement that somehow averages the answers.

Couldn't agree more. The most important thing for me as a manager is always exposing the work of my subordinates upwards so that they are known to my managers when opportunity comes.

Not a lot of HN posts make me emotional, but this one did. I'm a middle-manager in a corporate, manage about a dozen teams (just to give you a sense). I want to say we don't have those practices in our company, but you know - I just don't know. I was promoted not because I played a better political game than someone else, but because I (think) I was the best for this job (got promoted instead of my own manager who left the company). I don't see other people playing the game but I could be blind to it. That's why this post made me _feel_ I might be missing on the game that's going on. However knowing my peers (same level as I am) I don't see them doing these things. I don't like this post.

Who knew?! Why is this useful? for what? did anyone ever use this?

You mean a SOAR system? like Demisto, Swimlane etc?

So basically we can give up HTTPS for origin authentication (leave it for encryption/privacy) assuming the bundles are all signed?

I wrote a manager's README and give it to new hires and even in some cases candidates I'm trying to convince come work with me. It is realistic (I hope :D) and in no way is it meant to compensate on things I do or are annoying .. "you should have known, it is written in the README" is never an acceptable response. So in one way I appreciate her "user guide" as I know how difficult it is to write such a document and she does it with high detail.

I wonder if it raised the grade on the next survey though :D

> I think there's a solid argument that getting billions in billing while being stagnant is self evidently a valid excuse to be stagnant.

yes.

For me, I have to say it, it's MS Outlook. I do e-mail all day every day and I use VBA macros and all sorts of shortcuts to make it very useful. Love it.

I think the attack vectors in Windows are so so large that fuzzing to find everything is close to impossible (or even physically impossible). However there are bugs found by fuzzing that were disclosed in Windows - for example https://research.checkpoint.com/2020/bugs-on-the-windshield-...

Be shameless or go home ..

That is actually an interesting test case to see if these things work (profiting by slightly augmenting an open-source)

Thanks! He is more like a coach, right? Or is he an ex-CXO of something so has real hands-on experience?

Would you seriously leave an interview process if the company develops differently than what you are accustomed to?? can't you, say, adapt?

snapchat for sourdough starters exists?! what is it called?

I downloaded a 200MB file and 94% were downloaded from peers? Is that what you're saying? That's crazy

Works great for me :-|

very very fast
