Friday’s my half day at work. I picked up lunch from the curry truck on the way in. My boss greeted me at the reception desk with, “We’re under cyber-attack, do not turn on your computer.” Then she went back to talking to her boss.
OK.
Her boss decreed that if corporate IT didn’t get it fixed by 2pm, we could go home. I ate chicken tikka masala at my desk, we talked weekend plans, someone broke out the putter set. Then it was 2pm and we all left.
So, today
I got up at twelve and started to work at one
Took an hour for lunch, then at two I was done.
Earlier this week our own organization’s IS sent out an email just like the one that was used to hack the DNC (”Your account was logged into in some far distant country. If this wasn’t you, please click this link and change your password.”) I forwarded it to their help desk only to receive a smug little reply that they were testing the security of the system.
So, our own IS staff catfished their fellow employees with a phishing email.
