We have an older #Websphere app server java process randomly trying to connect to an IP address in India. #IBM giving us the run around as to why and where it's coming from.... what say you Big Blue?
An app just went down due to a certificate expiring on the database and they are blaming the recent code release... um, not sure about that Sherlock.
Also, another developer on another team when pushed to fix a Critical Injection vulnerability I was told... the business doesn't consider those a priority and will not be in the backlog. My hammer is about to come out and swing heads off...
True story - A "Manager" is trying to file an exception for a series of Critical and High vulnerabilities the developer can't fix but is fixable... with the exception he can 'not worry about touching the app' again. This is the real world folks... and why breaches happen.
New role means HR love feats meeting to keep you ‘excited’ for working here…
OMG… started a new role in a new office… the Miilenials are using the drip coffee maker to make single cups of coffee like a Kuerig.
It's abundantly clear that the upcoming IT resources have no idea how to troubleshoot a problem or basic problem solving skills if it's not spelled out for them... that's a serious problem. Lack of logic curiosity.
A new position, a new location, the same insights to cybersecurity from the 'legacy' team... time to change things and I'm all out of bubble gum...
Hey #Twitter employees.... how's your morning going? Your tweets are exposing your true selves...
In today's moment that I wanted to blowtorch my team 'leaders' they sent a draft document I threw together, and put in a shared folder, full of random ideas for a huge client ask... that document is now the agenda for a 4 hour work session. F'ing morons.
Working with an "Architect", 3 weeks left on the job and he hasn't created any artifacts except one draft that makes no sense. I pushed him for a service map so I can overlay security. He said it was too low level and not enough time. I went around him and made one in 30 min.
We don’t need everyone to upgrade log4j, just enough for herd immunity to takeover
