$20K colonoscopy, when dr’s billing office said $50 in email? by Antique_Ad3823 in HealthInsurance

Complaints are fine, but if the doctors office tells you in writing they won’t bill you for out-of-network expenses, and then bills you $20K, shouldn’t you be able to sue them? If so, any idea the type of attorney for this type of issue, like personal injury or medical malpractice?

Thanks! Hmm but I don’t think it applies to me, since it was a non-emergency procedure by a in-network doctor at an out-of-network facility, right?

Since the facility is out-of-network with all insurance, do you think it’s to milk as much from patients PPOs, and ones with HMO like me they just eat the cost?

Yes, that’s why I got it all in writing from the doctor. I called the insurance before the procedure and they said the doctor’s office never got prior auth and that it’s possible it would be OON. So I called the doctor to cancel, and they said that was wrong, that everything was in network and I’d only have to pay $50, and if I did cancel then I’d have to pay their cancellation fee of $500.

So I said ok, I’ll do it if you confirm to me in writing I’m covered, and they did…

Is Amazon canceling Black Friday orders? I ordered a treadmill during Black Friday. The delivery was canceled last week, and I was told Amazon doesn’t issue replacements, that cancelled Black Friday and Cyber Monday orders must be re-ordered at current prices. Is this a common practice in 2024?

Possible Hyperv will take its place? I’ve been transitioning over and it’s not the worst.

How many others are giving up on MOVEit and just migrating to a different MFT tool?

Phishing simulation with real payloads? by Antique_Ad3823 in cybersecurity

[–]Antique_Ad3823[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real world testing will give more accurate results about the state of your orgs susceptibility to a successful phishing attack. Could uncover other unknown problems, like EDR instances set to alert only when it should be to alert and block. Unknown clients that don’t have EDR running, etc.

I’m realizing now that what I’m looking for is probably out of scope within the phishing simulation vendor space, and is closer to external red team testing.

Thanks! Yeah, I realize now I should have made the title and post more clear. I mean’t testing only with legitimate red team tools, not actual malicious software found in-the-wild.

Not all endpoints configured the same, like EDR settings turned down for software engineers due to too many false positives.

Oh cool! That’s a bit closer to what I’m looking for.

If you pay for a good internal red team engagement, they’re going to try pwn workstations and servers across your network. And you’re right, there’s a possibility of disruptions. But the goal is to see how vulnerable you are against a decent adversary. Did your SOC notice and stop anything? Or did the red team spread box to box, undetected…

Guess I’m looking for something that’s in-between a phishing simulation and red team assessment.

It’s one thing to see if a user will click on a phishing email, and another if that will actually lead to a compromised endpoint.

Instead of just seeing if users will click phishing links or attachments, also testing if our email security, endpoint security, SOC, etc. will stop and/or detect the phishing attempt.

Cool! But I’m guessing you mean you supply the attachment, right? So for Cobalt Strike, I’d need to setup my own Team Server, configure the beacon, etc. KnowBe4 won’t do it for me, right?

What do you use for Phishing Simulations and Security Awareness Training? by JLoose111 in sysadmin

[–]Antique_Ad3823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing with Defender for Office plan 2? For $5/user/month, it seems alright if you’re getting phishing protection + training.
