| Tuvix | Want to know why information breaches in systems with personal and/or medical information get leaked? That attitude right there tells you a lot (and I'm sure it's not limited to just a small number of bad-actors at the top either.) | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Tuvix | You can't make a system perfect, but when you refuse to let the people who actually know what they're doing perform their jobs the result isn't hard to see. | 00:01 |
| Tuvix | Well, predict at any rate. Hard to see I suppose if you don't know this likely happens all over the place. As you pointed out above, the bottom-line has to be threatened before action can be approved in far too many industries. | 00:02 |
| LjL | but leakers and whistleblowers are traitors to the nation, aren't they ;( | 00:04 |
| Tuvix | That's becoming the trend. I probably could have taken when I'd learned at that former-employer to national (and state: I have good evidence they intentionally omitted info they were aware of to renew their "cybersecurity insurance" which I'd later come to learn would have been a felony in the state of incorporation.) But then it becomes a huge legal fight and I'm sure the first action the company took | 00:05 |
| Tuvix | would have been to fire me promptly, legal or not. | 00:05 |
| Tuvix | Erm, national/state regulators or such. | 00:06 |
| Tuvix | Snowden is an example of running afoul of the entire industrial complex at the national level, but employers are always going to be in a similar (just not _quite_ so overwhelming dominance) position to cast a nearly identical chilling-effect over such actions. | 00:09 |
| Tuvix | That doesn't bode well for making the public (or at least regulators) aware of problems. | 00:10 |

| Brainstorm | New from Marc Veldhoen on Mastodon: (news): But, NSAID and APAP use during chronic-phase COVID-19 were associated with a significantly lower risk of LongCovid. This, again, seems to suggest that the strength of the inflammatory response, possibly after the acute phase, plays a role in LC risk. → https://mastodon.online/@marc_veld/113538371536169713 | 15:29 |
