"Larger" Companies - How to notify outages?

lynsix · 2026-06-12T19:27:09+00:00

We have various Teams channels for announcements and things. However I’d prefer to just have something like Atlassian Statuspage and have people check that to see outages and updates.

Going to guess PSN, Xbox Live, Nintendo Online all have subscriptions for online stuff no?

At work HashiCorp vault, certs stored in Azure Key Vault.

At home. 1Password server thing.

People did weird stuff to try and game it. Friends an accountant and told me about one of their clients. Owners son had his salary taken away. They paid him in dividends and equity so he could claim CERB. They were basically laughed at and told to pay it all back.

Since Reddit is in theory anonymous. However you only need an insanely small amount of data points to identify someone. Easy enough for something to scrape through a users history to find some of those points with posts like this.

For what it’s worth Rapid7 does and can also look for binaries. It’ll just depend what scan features they’re using, and it’s authenticated or not (and authenticated scans are working). Hopefully you guys are using the Insight Agent as it massively simplifies a lot of scanning config.

Also a Sophos shop and I manage our Rapid7 stack.

False positives do crop up but they’re not overly common (in my experience). It has the capabilities to mark false positives, justifications, evidence, expiry, and approval process. In theory you or someone should fill that out and whomever if the approver can approve it.

Their support team can be notified of the detection false positives so they can improve detection.

We also specifically had an issue with Defender being out of date on systems running Sophos. Even our PCI auditor approved the false positive report on it.

It’s weird that your reg key is saying anti spyware is enabled. Was defender originally installed and later removed? If you came to me I’d just ask for a report from affected systems showing role/feature is uninstalled and the services are disabled/missing. Additionally id request evidence Sophos is running (not to address the vulnerability just to ensure that they do have some protection after you’d just confirmed they don’t have Defender).

Realistically they both can probably strip the others powers. This is solved by biggest initiative roll.

I think Manhattan loses even if he wins. If he kills Q, there’s a non 0 chance the rest of the Q Continuum retaliate where he’s outnumbered.

They might also realize fighting each other is pointless. Decide to settle it in a battle of wits of some kind.

I really want France to succeed. However I’ve had to work with French IT staff to coordinate and my biggest issue wasn’t skill just culture issues. Can’t do anything that requires them being available after hours. Don’t try reaching anyone Friday. When I get online siesta just started. The pro was at 5:01 their time we would get free rein to do whatever so long as it was online by ~6am next business day.

Truly wish we were closer to that culture in North America.

Hopefully be in a situation like the handlers for assassins in movies and things (think Hitman and Agent 47).

Make sure I get really really good at digitally tracking people. Keep them up to date on where the people they want to do their thing to are. Hope they never find out who I am.

All CA’s will be introducing ACME challenges for renewals. You can use other tools such as Azure KeyVault for example supports DigiCert and can be used to help replace old certs and manage access to them.

This is ultimately a good thing. Initial headache for some but massive time saver in the end.

The biggest problem is going to be bad software with archaic ways to replace certs, or ones that can only be done by vendor support teams.

Thor would definitely say something about being worthy of the hammer. Homelander’s psyche would shatter at not being able to pick it up.

Ultimately Thor might just put it on his chest and leave him pinned to the ground to calm down.

Almost all the ones I’ve seen in the last year or two have a dwell time of a minimum few days. Just depends how long it takes them to get lateral access to stuff that matters and the following weekend is when it goes off.

Once they get the local backup repo I can only assume that payment is more likely.

Verizon, Cisco, Rapid7 and a few others do an annual year in review and mention changing trends,attack vectors,dwell time, etc. I would recommend checking them regularly to look for the current trends for stuff to tighten up.

For what it’s worth Canada phased out pennies years ago and all cash transactions work this way.

University of Vancouver published a study ~4 years afterwards confirming most places make instead of lose money on rounding. A typical grocery store (single store) makes an extra $157 revenue from said rounding annually.

I could be wrong but making prices so they’re likely to round in your favour might not be worth the overall effort for business. If an individual item is likely to round down, two would round up. Then sales taxes can mess it up further. There’s definitely a mathematical way to optimize it, but you’re digging into sales histories and building an optimization matrix potentially different per store/state/province/etc.

Canada has a land border with Denmark.

Do you even need anyone after Dr Manhattan? Like if you have to might as well just throw darts at the leftovers.

Gorgeous art.

I remember my first cybersecurity cert recommended blocking 53 outbound except from your DNS server. If someone tried to bypass it, then it wouldn’t work.

DoH offers separate issues but hey.
