Just a side effect of any apartheid regime, it is a deeply morally corrupted nation to the very core.
Generalizing over the whole nation? Hmm... Where have we seen this?..
In south africa?

#202Hi, Felipe at Snowflake here. Here is the latest from Snowflake on this issue: https://community.snowflake.com/s/question/0D5VI00000Emyl00A... We'll keep updating that URL with any further news.
The OP Hudson Rock writes something that I understand is saying: This was more than a breach of one customer's credentials, they got some employee creds and they weren't protected by 2 factor so they got into other customer accounts using that engineer's creds. The snowflake writeup reads to me as if a customer's account creds got compromised - and it implied to me that was the end of it, no central or other account…
For 1. Those accounts would be set up by customers, so if they didn’t require 2FA, it didn’t happen.

Care to explain how a conflict between two national groups that are indigenous to the same land is similar to a racial system of segregation including beaches and restrooms, based on race theory with different racial classifications?
Or are you using a word that describes something different just because it evokes negative emotions?

Not a good look. If they got something wrong, a retraction is appropriate after making these kinds of claims and accusations. Simply removing the post without explanation is irresponsible and unprofessional.

This is the description of one of Hudson Rock's main products, "Bayonet". "Imagine getting access to a lead-generation platform featuring hundreds of thousands of compromised companies around the world with active vulnerabilities that you can convert into customers." I've seen and dealt with a couple of these types of companies. It's a pretty sleazy tactic, and it's low skill/effort from a technical point of view as…
That screenshot where the attacker agrees that buying their services would help makes me have a very strong suspicion this attack is either faked, sponsored by or in some way Hudson Rock is in cahoots with the attackers. That screenshot is a pure 100% advertisement manufactured by Hudson Rock one way or another. As they usually say.. I'd check whoever is running Hudson Rock's hard drive.
The original HN link redirects to this company's home page now, so the blog post was likely an ad campaign to get traffic.

#206The screenshots of the chat logs are really something. This firm claims to be in communication with the actual criminal, and the actual criminal says that using their firm would have helped prevent the breach. I have updated my sense of the firm's trustworthiness accordingly.
The screenshots make this feel entirely fabricated or entirely marketing motivated.
If it's somehow real, omitting the hudsonrock message would be good sense.
I have mentally black listed this company.

#207I don't know anything about Snowflake or enterprise sales, but I'm wondering how that sales process works. A sales representative sets up a demo account. Then what, they load it with real customer data, with the customer's cooperation? It seems like if a potential customer screws this up then they are wrong, but also, sales might be wrong to encourage them to share their data insecurely, and a sales process that enco…

Better than Fujitsu who actually went into UK Subpostmasters accounts and 'adjusted' their accounts live. No links - there are too many, but I would direct you to the various testimonies of the CEO of the PO, paula vennells (no capital letters for her) over the last....15 years.

assuming seeing “dicks” upset you, and you think “cunts” would upset someone else, this seems less like equality and more like an attempt at hurting others due to hurt. or are you truly glad?
'Cunt' seems to really upset America. In the Uk, Aus, NZ etc it's as much offensive as any other term of endearment.

I don't know who you think are "due to hurt" and doubt HN is the right place for that discussion. I'm certainly not interested.
and yet, here we are.
you used the word for attention.
you got it.
buyer’s remorse?

oh it is just a word, some letters, some sounds. less about the item, more the claimed reason for use.
