Re: PlayStation 5

That’s pretty toxic. IT is very much an HR-like entity in that scenario. Is anyone reading email at this point?

It may seem harsh, but at this point it's the equivalent of requiring bank employees to follow basic security standards. One dumb employee clicks on a "verify your information" link in an obviously fake email and millions of dollars are lost, along with SS numbers, health records, etc being exposed. That person will be fired in that situation regardless, so making it required training with consequences seems fine to me in 2023.

If filling out an online form leads to the theft of customer data, then there is something severely wrong with the company’s security practices that go well beyond an employee filling out an online form.

To be clear, I’m not saying that phishing simulation has no value. I’m just skeptical that these campaigns and harsh punishments are in place to cover up underlying issues with security in the workplace. Instead of pointing at the person that gave away their credentials to a fake login form, we could question why it was so easy in the first place and why the blast radius wasn’t smaller.

I’ve done software consulting in the past and have seen a lot of interesting things. One company ran phishing simulations and really placed a lot of emphasis on them. Meanwhile, instead of integrating AD and Exchange, IT decided it made sense to use different passwords for Exchange and Active Directory. As a result, users had two passwords, but they didn’t know it. IT managed the passwords and kept them in a central password list that contained credentials for everyone. If anyone gained access to that file they could login to anyone’s email and do anything.

The insomniac news is very interesting and cool to get a lot of news because I miss e3 days and all the news that came out it almost feels like e3 but the fact there was like personal info sucks and so over all its not good. If there was no personal info and it was just the road map and such it would have not been so bad. Sony seems to have issues with getting hacked being its not the first time.

The way they're planning to break Spider-Man 3 into 3 pieces to make it a de facto $150 game is probably a portend of things to come.

Movies do it, so I guess it was only a matter of time until it moved into the gaming space, I guess. Hopefully they will rethink that down the line.

Honestly, I’m not sure how much I’d care if we got three games equalish to Miles Morales in length and quality.

Either way, prices are going to continue to rise. AAA budgets have been outpacing their pricing for the better part of the last two generations at this point.

Re: PlayStation 5

I’m in our Cyber/IT Department working for the Feds and you wouldn’t be surprised at the # of times I’ve had to remind folks to stop clicking on random links on your WORK computer.

We send emails about this every month but they somehow find ways to **** up. Always makes me wonder how people like that get in their position when they can’t even follow basic rules.

Hold up.

You mean if my CEO sends me a link to confirm my email for a $200 thank you gift card..

...it's maybe not legit?

Surely not.

This is how someone in HR allowed hackers to steal folks' SSN stolen...few had their credit ruined...about 6 years ago. Cost the company thousands and we still get a free annual sub to each credit bureau for credit history reports.

I've had Evil West on my wishlist for a hot minute. I can't wait to actually try it.

I've almost purchased A Plague Tell: Requiem and Nobody Saves the World a few times over the past month. Can bank that money for something else.
