dang, could you correct this URL?
Looks like this link also redirects to the intake screen and not the PDF, now. https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/T60a/reports/2024... appears to be the latest direct link.
Well, I'm cancelling my services with them. This is disgusting.
Won't do much but make me feel better, and save money. With the internet I never use my phone. Time to deal with the liability I guess.

I was thoroughly entertained by this read, thanks for the rec
The DBIR is an interesting dataset in that it only covers breaches that have been covered by the media. It does not include the vast majority of breaches that happen every year and are reported to federal and state regulatory bodies or as posted to cybercrime / ransomware sites. One of the coolest things is that this process though flawed is transparent and semi-open to the public. The dataset and the underlying proc…

Every large organization has good parts and bad parts. What most people forget is a company is just a collection of people. When you have 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, etc. employees, they can't all be good, bad, etc.
Sure, but few orgs have as much surface area with such a ridiculously bad service. And I said subconsciously . I really doubt anyone would deliberately refuse to hire a good candidate because they worked for a company with shit customer service. But our thought processes are influenced a whole lot more by subconscious factors than we like to think they are. People that think their thought process is entirely logical…
I worked for a large telco for many years with a lot of history and people honestly hated the company, even if they came in store and had a flawless experience many of them couldn't be curbed.
You have everyday people using mobile and internet services that operate in the background that impact people heavily if they go down or their experience is poor. Then the process for them to get it remediated is speaking with service staff that often don't have the ability to actually fix the problem if it is infrastructure related.
Especially when internet services and speeds around a decade ago were/are struggling to keep up with basic internet usage.
As an employee I had gone above and beyond for many customers and had experienced some crazy stories where the customer was simply horrible.
What is up with the glib tone featured throughout this document? To cite a few examples (there are many more): Page 11: "Hello, friends, and welcome to the “Results and analysis” section." Page 15: "Hey, you, don’t skip this section this year! We know we keep repeating, “It’s always external criminals wanting your money” alongside dated pop culture references, but we have some interesting data points to discuss this…
As someone who works in the "cyber biz", I don't think we really do like all of these supposedly catchy terms that are just more specific ways to describe the same thing. All it does is confuse end users with more jargon.

Apologies, did not know verizon was incapable of correctly hosting a PDF. Should have archived it to wayback machine

Link not working. They are doing something weird with the PDF
I wonder if the do some kind of DCMA thing automatically for urls on their website, to have them removed from the wayback machine?

That's super bizarre. I manually verified that the url worked after I archived it. I wonder if the do some kind of DCMA thing automatically for urls on their website, to have them removed from the wayback machine?
DCMA would not work here since they are hosting a copy of it for archival purposes, and not claiming copyright. The original public URL is included.
Archive.org does respect robots.txt tho. It is possible to completely delete a site's history on Archive.org by modifying the robots.txt (at least in the past, not sure if that is the case now)

Yeah it's working now, very weird indeed. DCMA would not work here since they are hosting a copy of it for archival purposes, and not claiming copyright. The original public URL is included.

So the link really does seem to have flip-flopped between working and non-working a few times.
Sound like some kind of weirdness in the archive.org infrastructure might be causing it.
