In this situation I think defense contractor doesn’t matter as much as them being the last American civilian airliner manufacturer.

withak posted:The regulations that Uber flouts are piddly-rear end local taxi laws and labor laws that most of the business world would love to get rid of anyway. The FAA is a different animal. I contend that Uber’s launch (in SF Bay Area) worked mainly because the SF Taxi service (at that time) was the worst I have encountered in the USA. Uber was a big step up in reliability and the quality of the cars. At least when it started. I think the first time I used them was to get from SFO to a VC on Sand Hill Rd for the iFund thing in 2008. Back when it was text message based.

The taxi services were even releasing apps around this time and I had maybe a 25% success rate for a cab actually showing up when hailed with any of their apps. The SF taxi experience for me can be pretty well summarized in things like getting into one at SFO and asking to go the the Ferry Building and the driver needing an address to find it. Or on multiple occasions having a GPS handed to me to put in my destination because the driver didn't speak english well enough to even have that much of a conversation.

Train firm’s ‘worker bonus’ email is actually cybersecurity test I'm absolutely positive I remember reading about this happening a few months ago. Is the Guardian really behind the times on this or did this train company notice the previous scheme and decide it was such a great idea and received so well that they just had to copy it?

That sort of email is terrible for all kinds of reasons but I bet the catch rate on it was sky high. It really is an excellent way to see what your actual phishing risk is as long as you don't care about the huge blowback you're going to get from angry employees.

TACD posted:Train firm’s ‘worker bonus’ email is actually cybersecurity test That is what an actual phishing attack looks like. It's scummy, manipulative, and gets credulous people's hopes up because that's how phishing works. Just like what happened at GoDaddy, running that test was a very bad idea, but only because the company's existing policies around payroll communication were already terrible. They should have systems in place that make it very clear to employees what's an official communication, and what's a forgery, so that the fake "bonus announcement" is as obviously fake as a guy in the parking lot who says "I'm here to give you a bonus, just write down your name, salary, social security number, birthdate, credit score, and payroll password on my clipboard."

DIdn't GoDaddy do it around Christmas? I don't really care eitherway about fake phising emails to catch dumb employees being dumb, but I don't think the extra stress is really warranted during Christmas.

Does it say what their policies around payroll communications were? In either event, I think the way to handle this (just like the GoDaddy thing) is to say: "everyone's getting the bonus anyway, but if you fell for the phishing e-mail, you're also going to go for re-training because this represents an unacceptable security risk. Phishing e-mails will attempt to manipulate you in exactly this way!"

You can avoid the blowback by giving them the bonus as well as using it as a learning process. Maybe the ones that fail the test get the bonus after they complete a phishing webinar or something.

Because if it ran to McCarran the taxis would lose all that sweet overcharging CES revenue. That town is so drat corrupt. But the taxis were way better than SF.

If they had good communication and security policies backed up at every level of the organization, then a "free bonus inside, click here to claim" phishing test wouldn't be cruel misdirection, it'd be an obvious fake.

I don't mean this in a rude way, but have you ever dealt with providing IT services to people without an IT background themselves? Yeah, I'm sure I'll be able to tell the guy who still manually puts a line break at the end of every email line how to detect a real vs. fake communication.

I've gotten emails that appeared to be phishing emails that turned out to be real. Coworker got this email out of the blue promising us very cheap machined parts (seemingly impossible prices), full of spelling errors and poo poo. He clicked the link, which pointed to a shady lookong website and bought some parts on the company card . . . And they turned out to be legit and now are a supplier for us. But I never stop giving him poo poo for clicking on what looked like an obvious scam or phishing attempt.

So, this happened https://twitter.com/sarthakgh/status/1392176703011762183 I am counting the hours to the behind-the-scenes expose about why the CEO chose this particular moment to announce that the company wasn't a family, and this was important so that they could fire people.

cloudkitchencoin - I truly cannot tell if this is a joke or not and I'm not googling it because if the answer is 'yes' I'm going to weep for humanity. I like the idea behind cloud kitchens - cooking spaces to rent out in cities to help businesses with overflow on their deliveries. Or, to allow people who only want to deliver and not worry about all the bullshit which comes from running a restaurant. Is it a $5billion idea, though? l o loving l.

i mean i am theoretically not against the idea of a cloud kitchen but iirc he was doing the same thing uber did and ignoring all sorts of industry regulation regarding kitchens and zoning and other poo poo when they first launched which i guess should surprise nobody.

Catering kitchens and poo poo already exist - that's where a lot of food trucks do their prep - licensed prep kitchens that rent by the hour. This is just yet another example of the tech industry taking something that already exists, removing ignoring all regulations/laws and consumer/worker safety and calling it a new idea

I'm imagining cloud kitchens just being someone rents out their apartment kitchen or whatever and assumes all the risk as a contractor to the "uber but for kitchens" startup. Everyone in town gets food poisoning but it can't ever be traced properly due to everything obfuscated in an app and contractor agreements and fly by night eateries. Someone please tell me I'm like super off base.

Everyone in town gets food poisoning but it can't ever be traced properly due to everything obfuscated in an app and contractor agreements and fly by night eateries. generally speaking health officials are solid on tracing foodborne illnesses. but a key distinction is that it requires people to actually call and make complaints unless it's a real hospitalization sort of thing.
