After the last one in France, the word in my world was that those freezers were poorly secured with default admin passwords. Frankly, they shouldn't be networked and if they are, then they need to be firewalled off from the Internet with access only through internal networks. I am going be interested what gaps these attacks exploited.

As I said to my wife, we may at the point where the government needs to mandate some kind of security certification and auditing for critical supply chains like food, not just for companies like mine storing private data. It is clear that there are security gaps being found and exploited.

Yes, the hackers are to blame, but they are not going away any time soon. There are solid, well-tested way of protecting devices and networks. We need to make sure that companies managing supply chains are using them.

/Ape rant off
From what they said on the news, the problem was these were freezers 10 year old or older often with no more updates available and nobody had imagined this would ever be a target.
 
I am in the U..S. today...watching daughter's house, kids and dogs for a few days. Weird to be here on such a day in election history. In spare time I am writing a reflection/sermon for a week from Sunday....How do I keep politics out of it?

Which are issues that could and should be dealt with and would be addressed in security audits if they were being done and done properly. And not getting updates is not the end of the world as long as you segment them off and firewall them properly.
 
For the early risers, coffee is on

Watching the news this morning
Good morning. I swear my time change "jet" lag is getting worse. Woke up even earlier today than yesterday. You would think that I would be getting adjusted by now.

Kettle is on for anyone else needing tea. I am making a pot of Irish Breakfast but Red has a tea chest full of options.

Yeah, up normal time despite watching the election until the wee hours. Ugh.
 
Good Morning! Thanks to JayneWonders for setting up the coffee. We come together around the Coffee Cart for our daily chat, support, and connection time, over tea and coffee, plus whatever the Wonderbaker has created for us. They have provided for us cupcakes today, in several flavours, for our enjoyment. Some of us are a tad bleary-eyed, having watched the election results from the US. What do you think of it? That will likely be a chief topic of conversation today.
The tea water is hot, the coffee is ready, and a new pot will be started soon; and the cupcakes are nicely warm from the oven. All is ready, everybody welcome. Come join in the fun!

I WOKE to see the end results and went back to rest. Often I find the physical word exhausting compared to the parallel world ...

It often leaves a sense of escapism, thus that abstract sensation ... some cannot get out side their point of existence ... to see there's more to experience beyond themselves ... thus they like to contain and package everything for marketing when it should be shared freely ... thus the break out ... into world of easy communion in the dark ... night peoples?

There is the case of a lot half baked to control things they know nothing about ... I try but they tell me that knowledge is evil (according to some lords over the land) ... options? What of those immersed and out of sight? Obscurities ...
