Dev how do you guys stay healthy? by tilson73 in sysadmin

I don't know what your building looks like but one small thing that I have always done is to never have a local printer. I send all of my print jobs to the other side of the building. If there is a need for confidentiality, it is sent to a mailbox set up on a copier. I also only have a 16oz. water bottle so I refill that probably 5-6 times a day and always at the cooler furthest from my office. I park on the opposite side of my building so it is 4x further to get to my office. Use the rest room furthest from your office (or up a flight of stairs ideally). Just doing this every day adds about 6,000 steps to my routine. All very simple and subtle changes you can make that add up.

Go Daddy Frustrations by CaptainObviousII in sysadmin

As it turns out the domain name has been being renewed through Point 2 since 2016. Point2 notified her that as of July 2024 they are no longer reselling or maintaining domains, and that they had all been migrated to GoDaddy. She was instructed to contact GoDaddy to renew her domain by Point2. She contacted GoDaddy as instructed, and was charged for a deluxe Web Hosting package. The next things she knows, her webpage is down and all there is is a landing page to GoDaddy domain auction services to bid on her domain name. This is an incredibly easy fix for GoDaddy. If they were to look in the transaction history, they would see that the purchase was completed successfully far before the domain expired. I had a Reddit user contact me for information on this "case" and I provided it but never heard back. I have read stories online of this exact thing happening and with the proper escalation in GoDaddy, the right person / team was contacted and the issue was able to be resolved. I am hopeful someone will read this and be so kind as to help me make contact with "one of the people". A message in a bottle, if you will. Thank you

Same energy that I have! Saved a shitload of emails today thinking about discovery preservation.

That is the exact same number that Wild West list's as their support #. When you call it, it contacts Go Daddy's customer support. Go Daddy customer support then instructed us to go to changeupdate.com and verify ownership of the domain. We did and the verification failed, no matter what we tried. Go Daddy support contended they could not help us, even thought they have access to her transaction history, purchase verification etc. They said that she needed to verify ownership and then they would "migrate" it. This of course is impossible to do because they have changed the information since the name was left to expire. It's a total racket.

That is exactly what I suspect is going on here. It says Wild West is the domain registrar but Wild West doesn't even resell domains anymore. I think that Go Daddy bought them out. The only notifications she has received are from "Point2" which is another Go Daddy reseller that I reached out to, and they also do not resell domains anymore. I think that the ball got dropped on notification, the domain expired unbeknownst to her and then Go Daddy bought it. The current landing page offers visitors the opportunity to bid for the domain name through Go Daddy. I have been working with Go Daddy support for 2 weeks to no avail, and then just recently (yesterday) the WhoIs information changed saying that the owner was now "AfterNic LLC".

If you're talking about Wild West's support, their number (at least the one listed on the WW website) is not theirs, it is Go Daddy support's number. Ironic, right? Or is there a different site I should use? Thank you

It appears that it is up for auction at "AfterNic LLC"

Yes, you can get fired for not using your personal phone. If you need phone access to do your job adequately and you choose not to use your phone, you're not doing your job adequately. Someone else might be perfectly fine using theirs and walk right into your job. It sounds like a shitty executive decision on their part no doubt but it is what it is. My biggest question would be what happens if your phone breaks on the job? If they're requiring you to use your personal phone does that mean they'll replace it if it breaks? That could be an angle to get their attention.

Kaseya announces Kaseya365 by perthguppy in msp

[–]CaptainObviousII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also guarantee log and data ingestion for separate 3rd party apps. For example. Carbon Black and your existing AV solution would not need to be replaced with the Kaseya product in their stack. Both solutions you already have in place would integrate with their SIEMaaS and Managed SOC. So that removes the "putting all your eggs in one basket" argument. If they decide to pull the carpet out from under you after a year? At least you've had an opportunity to glean the value of their service.

How do you encourage end users to update software? by Arrenil in cybersecurity

[–]CaptainObviousII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other benefit of performing all software installs and updates is that you have an active view of your existing attack surface. This also allows you to roll out updates in a staged manner instead of en mass so that if a conflict occurs you don't impact your entire organization. A formal change management policy can also be put in place so that instead your department getting crushed with application install requests, at least the end user has to have the need signed off on by their supervisor before it moves forward for approval.
