Hey! As a 46 year old I am offended by this - I am definitely not Gen X. We’re a weird X/Millenial hybrid I’ve seen referred to as Xennials. Also F ZScaler - we use this officially sanctioned MTM attack at work and all it does is make my job harder.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
People on the borderlines often are overlooked. I'm an old GenX, a few years too young to be a Boomer, and even the younger Boomers grew up with a quite different experience than the mainline Boomer generation. And I was already an adult and married by the main part of the GenX era.
Dividing generations across decades might work for marketing to them in general, but it's otherwise about as useful as horoscopes and the BMI scale.
Duodecades:
* 1968-1980
* 1980-1992
* 1992-2004
* 2004-2016
* 2016-2028
* GenX: 1968-1992
* Millennial: 1980-2004
* GenZ: 1992-2016Hey! As a 46 year old I am offended by this - I am definitely not Gen X. We’re a weird X/Millenial hybrid I’ve seen referred to as Xennials. Also F ZScaler - we use this officially sanctioned MTM attack at work and all it does is make my job harder.
you were born in 1980 you are gen x https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X by definition.
> Xennials, also called Xillenials, are a social cohort encompassing people born on the cusp of or during the later years of Generation X and the early years of the Millennials generation.
> Many researchers and popular media use birth years from 1977 to 1983, though some extend this further in either direction. Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood.
In that case, the managers aren't "victims" and aren't "attacked", that would be the company..

The article is unclear: Do they "attack" the GenX managers and encrypt their stuff, or do they simply contact GenX managers in order to get paid faster? In that case, the managers aren't "victims" and aren't "attacked", that would be the company..
> By the time the ransom note lands, the crooks may already know who approves invoices, who signs contracts, who runs HR, and who reports to whom. The encryption is just the bit that victims notice.
