    Oh, man. She almost got through it, legally speaking, but she just couldn’t hold herself back from saying “Let’s correct this behavior” near the end! Fucking boomers (I’m assuming), nothing will keep them from speaking their minds…

    NAL, but my understanding is that actually instructing a subordinate to return to work during their legal-mandated by OSHA “30-minute uninterrupted lunch break” is where they really have no excuse and the company is now liable…







  • A 40-year old man from Ridderkerk in the Netherlands has been arrested for reportedly downloading files accidentally sent to him by the police, then apparently refusing to send them back unless he received a reward.

    After the man reportedly downloaded the files, the police reached out and told him to delete them, but “He stated that he would only comply if he received something in return.” Thus, the police chose to arrest the man and search his home for the files

    If you send someone digital files, or grant them access and they download them, there’s no “sending them back”. Sure, you can demand they delete every copy, but you’d never even know if they didn’t comply! Even if you cut their power/internet and the police arrive within minutes, they could still copy to an external device, send or upload them, physically transport the device, etc…

    From a cybersecurity standpoint, assume a hostile foreign power is using a supercomputer offline to break the encryption on a duplicated drive right now, or whatever the worst-case scenario is. It’s like pee in a swimming pool: once it’s out there, it’s out there…
