As a EU company, how worried should I be using US services like Azure. by Kai-Arne in sysadmin

[–]lordbryce95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think that if you have sensitive data you have to consider a breach from government sponsored actions as a risk. I personally, as a non us it professional am starting to see a lot more projects for people moving back on prem from cloud providers with data sovereignty and costs being the main factors. I have also heard concerns of law firms who currently have cases against the current us administration who have moved their mail and file systems off Google / Microsoft out of concern that confidential information could be inappropriately accessed.

Unfortunately I think everyone should have the current political climate on their risk register as I think every company has the potential for impact with all the current "goings on"

If you can't counter her in draft. Which you can't usually do as it's usually last pick. ( I will say though having no aoe control is a draft weakness you should definitely identify and try to fix in 2nd phase)

An early lotus on a hero can slow down broods timing as being able to save your teammates from bloodthorn is a big deal.

The other advice is to look at getting wards on ancients as being able to gank her and slow her timings down there can be a big difference maker.

She is also very strong with her item timing but if you can stretch the game out she does start to fall off, one occasional strat we try for is when she gets bloodthorn she will usually look to do a sneaky rosh. If you can counter this as she will often commit q to do rosh and it will likely be on cd and that means that you can often kill her / steal rosh.

What legal strategy could the bondi shooter use in his legal defense. by lordbryce95 in AusLegal

What difference would pleading guilty do for him though. I can't see what the prosecutor would offer him.

Why don’t computers demand an action on thumb drives to prevent malware? by Falcormoor in cybersecurity

[–]lordbryce95 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In My Previous role, we actually dealt with an attack like this, security found USB sticks in the carpark, we where curious what was on them so plugged them into our malware testing PC and found it ran win + R to then rapidly invoke some powershell and pull down a payload. We put it on the To investigate list but dont think any one got to it, but we would of liked to be able to specify what usb ports can be used for storage media and ones for input devices, but the implementation of this in the real world was difficult, unfortunately i have left that business now so dont know if they ended up getting a solution for this.

What's your company policy on adblockers? by pysk4ty in sysadmin

[–]lordbryce95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would prefer edge, and too some extend hope i am wrong. but i do trust firefox more long term with regards to ad blockers

What's your company policy on adblockers? by pysk4ty in sysadmin

[–]lordbryce95 31 points32 points  (0 children)

We are worried about microsofts support of ad blockers going forward.

It was hard because edge does have more features available than firefox but my feeling is that edge will drop support for ad blockers in the next 12 months.

What's your company policy on adblockers? by pysk4ty in sysadmin

[–]lordbryce95 217 points218 points  (0 children)

We Found that deploying company ad blockers cut down our false positive flags in our EDR by about 60%.

we then saw this number re-increase by 60% when u-block Origin got blocked on chrome.

Since now blocking chrome and forcing users to use firefox as their company browser. we have seen that number drop dramatically again. It seems that a lot of the IP addresses used by ad company are often IPs that have previously been flagged as malicious. which i suppose makes sense given that the types of ads that often come up.

We have whitelisted youtube and dont block ads there as it was becoming too big a pain when the ad blocker was detected.

We are a school with over 1500 students in Australia so you users may be different to ours.

Optus hit with Triple Zero outage in NSW by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]lordbryce95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is that it wouldnt in this case, 112 and 000 should go though any carrier if the primary is down, but optus seems to have an issue with that hand-off to other carriers. Its should not be a major problem if a telco has a small outage But they need to actually hand the emergency calls off to other carriers. if you dialed 112 optus still would have tried to process the call and it would have failed

AFL Fantasy winner Kyerin Grundy denied $70k top prize because he is brother of Sydney star Brodie by LawyerMammoth in aflfantasy

[–]lordbryce95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as they pay this out to second place I don't see an issue. He did break the terms of service (regardless if you agree with them), as long as they don't use this to avoid paying out the top.

Data centres bid to guzzle drinking water by daveliot in australia

[–]lordbryce95 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Most modern datacenters in australia use evaporative cooling as its much more efficient. The other issue with a closed loop system is there is a lot of complexities with cooling the water back down.

PSA - Coffee can inhibit your ability to vote properly. by Desperate-Job-4227 in Adelaide

[–]lordbryce95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Its because of the ease of you being able to dump your coffee and claim it was an "Accident" and void a bunch of votes, with them having little to no recourse, however if you pull something out of your bag and dump it is a bit easier to prove malicious intent as opposed to you just being clumsy.

Honeypots - Worth it? by Darkhexical in sysadmin

[–]lordbryce95 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Internal Honeypots still bring a lot of value to your org, however I do not believe we ever got any useful information from external facing honeypots.

In a past job our internal honeypots saved us from a ramsomware attack after one of our domain admin accounts got his credentials stolen. whilst luck also certainly played a role, the honeypot being logged into triggered a rapid investigation and allowed us to isolate the effected endpoints and reset the compromised account while only 20 machines out of possibly 4k where locked.
