The FBI's going to be terribly embarrassed when they make the announcement: "Turns out it wasn't North Korea, it was just some English guy trying to rip off the new Annie movie to watch in his motel room."
Assume every system that you don't own is being watched - including the little webcam at the top of the screen. Just think what wonders that's been able to see... (a small square of gaffer tape works wonders, by the way)
I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).
once upon a time in a land of make believe So last Tuesday, two days before Xmas I was fired. I was woken at 2am in the morning on my vacation with a call from the US. I instantly ignored it and turned my phone off.
In the morning I listened to the voicemail. 'MF this is X(senior IT Director in the US). When you get this call you will find that you cannot login to your email, access the network and all of your company accounts / logins have been suspended. In addition we want your laptop returned to security in the London office in the next 24 hours. Please contact us to arrange a courier. Please contact me back urgently on 9999999'.
Bastards! I had been discussing taking a new role in the company and they'd preempted and ******* terminated me.
We reserve this for people who we can't get hold of directly or who have too much access/ influence.
I phoned HR Europe. I appear to have been terminated. Can't see anything but let us check. An hour later I get a call back. 'Well a system termination request has been implemented but we don't have anything.'
I then phone the Us number knowing its 2am in the morning and amazingly the IT Director Answers.
'MF?'
'Yes. Why the hell have you terminated me?'
'Terminated??? We haven't terminated you. Your laptop has been hacked and is being used as a bot to attack our network. We've suspended everything you touch and we want your laptop. I'm flying in our top guy from the security team right now. We want your laptop. Your 'case zero'
Needless to say I had to nicely explain to him how to leave a ******* voicemail!!!
So my every interaction, website, CUK post is being dissected as we speak. I've had to admit to downloading illegal torrents and bootlegged files, the odd 'Babysitters do Dallas' downloads and why the **** I have pictures of grown men in nappies with the words 'Suity that's you that is' and a picture of a big grizzly man cuddling a skinny fella in a swimming pool with the words 'Churchill / Brillopad - Bromance'
I'm so embarrassed.
FTFY
