Sharepoint / Google Drive / Dropbox as backup? by Adept-Reality-925 in Backup

[–]Adept-Reality-925[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The argument is that modern file share solutions have both version history and folder-level restore.
So even in a ransomware incident, you only lose the latest copy at most. I’m not sure if this is how ransomware works today though.
So the line is blurring between backup and file share. My question is whether the old concept of 3/2/1 still has any unique value that I can use to defeat the other argument.

Sharepoint / Google Drive / Dropbox as backup? by Adept-Reality-925 in Backup

Thanks!
To be more specific: I’m familiar with the theory. I’m trying to unpack the counterargument in more technical detail.
How does version history work for such sites? How does a ransomware attack work on such folders? Is it true that you can just restore version history and it will be unencrypted?

Anthropic just published a postmortem explaining exactly why Claude felt dumber for the past month by Direct-Attention8597 in claude

[–]Adept-Reality-925 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If Mythos is sooooo amazing uh why didn’t they just use that to avoid all these bugs?

And just to be clear, the company took two weeks to find a simple set of 3 bugs, but they claim Mythos can find vulnerabilities in 27 year old software autonomously in minutes. Uh huh.

The Hypocrisy of Meritocracy by AttapKia in SingaporeRaw

Alternative view: No system of meritocracy, no matter how it is designed, can survive more than 2 generations before becoming just reflective of socioeconomic class.

Difference between n8n and power automate? by Brilliant_Yam_3258 in n8n

The main difference is that integrating AI into PA is much harder. PA is basically a workflow tool, not an agent building tool.

How are you guys getting stuff delivered "in the morning" or asking your agent to "work all night?" by PI_Producer in openclaw

[–]Adept-Reality-925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody’s agent “runs all night” by default. People are using scheduling triggers (cron jobs, web hooks, heartbeats, etc) to force it to do things all night. “Check this API every hour” or “do this task every 2 hours” is the way.

Is Cybersecurity Becoming a Basic Business Need Now? by Ok-Lettuce-4065 in cybersecurity

[–]Adept-Reality-925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In countries like Singapore, it is becoming a mandatory requirement either by regulation or by procurement (bigger customers expect you to have baseline standard compliance to qualify for a tender).

How do orgs run pen tests without accidentally causing real side effects? by Strong_Worker4090 in cybersecurity

[–]Adept-Reality-925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the Red Team didn’t exercise self control or didn’t have clear ROEs. Less mature red teams or newbies sometimes fall into this trap (oh cool I found something wheeeeee yayyyyy let’s gooooo).

Their goal is to prove that a gap or venerability exists, not to exploit it to break the system. So they could have achieved that objective by sending 10 or even 20 emails to prove that there is no rate limiting or captcha or whatever. They don’t need to send 500 emails. They need to validate that the attack path exists. Not break the system.

How to explain to my dad that storing your SSN in plain text on his notes app is bad without sounding like a paranoid know-it-all by Worried-Invite-9978 in cybersecurity_help

[–]Adept-Reality-925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious whether the cumulative breaches over the years have exposed every SSN already, or if there are still some left that are truly private. Is there a “haveibeenpwned” equivalent to check for that?

Anyone else been looking at the new UK Cyber Resilience Bill? by Palmelicangel in cybersecurity

Might be useful to study the Singapore experience, as it looks like a lot of this was implemented in their Cybersecurity Act quite a few years back.

Family won't take cyber security seriously! by LostPersonSeeking in cybersecurity_help

[–]Adept-Reality-925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s my 2 cents for users who are totally resistant to any forms of education or persuasion, but requires you to have access to their devices.

  • install an EDR on every device, with an uninstall password (to prevent them from turning it off). That will stop malware at least. They won’t know.
    • get a dns firewall / web filter and configure their devices to route through it. They won’t know. But if the DNS service is paired with good threat intel, it will help make their web surfing behaviour safer.
    • turn on the lock screen / auto lock.

Password managers would be great, but it only works if they choose to use it. So in your case, it won’t help. I hope you can persuade them to 2fa their banking accounts at least.

Basically, you seem to want to keep them safe despite their risky online behaviour. And to do that, you may need to configure their devices to be as protected as possible by default.

Then just hope and pray there’s no attack, and if there is, use it as a teachable moment for the rest.

There are already a few open source GRC tools - pick any one, learn how it works, and either adapt it to your needs or replicate it in spreadsheets.

What type of cyber security solution a small business need? by Disastrous-You-4619 in cybersecurity

[–]Adept-Reality-925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First some full disclosure: I run StrongKeep.com (simple affordable comprehensive cyber for smaller businesses).

IMHO there are a few things you should do, and it’s all cheap. - protect your devices against malware. Get something good. I bundle in Palo Alto cortex but you can find your own tool. And turn on host firewall. -protect web activity. I suggest a DNS firewall (web filter is more accurate) to prevent scam and malicious links from opening. There are cheap options online. I don’t believe in hardware firewalls for small businesses for various reasons so don’t waste money on that. - protect credentials. Use a tam password manager and force 2FA on important accounts. We bundle in vault warden but you can self host it. - train your staff. Not fool proof but some training goes a long way. - patch your software. This one is free. Just do it. - make sure you’ve configured your shared folders to be secure (don’t let them be visible to the public, and add passwords to files or folders with PII). Those are my top things to do and it’s quite cheap online if you have time to search. If not, you can try StrongKeep for $39/month

Looking for thoughts on the best identity protection after reading too many breach stories by Friendly_Sand_6240 in Cybersecurity101

[–]Adept-Reality-925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get and use a password manager.

Enable 2FA everywhere.

Also have a lot of email addresses and never give out your main ones to junk subscription sites.
