It’s weird, it’s like he’s relying on the fact that “Everyone wants to work at Amazon” to always be there for them. Even though the very reason people wanted to work at Amazon were all the perks that no longer exist.

Rampant over hiring.

Yes. I’d rather live under a bridge than in an apartment complex.

Perhaps the latter? My first thought is still that the pagers intended use was for triggering explosives, and they were simply triggered early by the other side.

Probably not. It was almost certainly the case that these pagers were already connected to explosives, probably to be IEDs. All Israel would have had to do is page the pagers to detonate them. I can’t think of any other logical explanation.

Oh no you don’t, not likewise. There’s zero chance you have any real world experience under your belt, that much you’ve made very clear. You’ve already let it slip that you’re just a consultant lol. A glorified salesman playing around in SMB land no doubt. At best, maybe an old fart who actually dipped his toes into IT generalism two decades ago before getting out of the game and into consulting? I know the type lol.

It’s probably best if you were to stay in your lane and let the professionals worry about security.

So how did those laptops get stolen? Would that have been possible if their users worked on a local client at the office?

Yes laptops can be stolen from offices. It would be pretty trivial to do so in fact in most cases. In an all on site office it’d be a juicy target too because now all these laptops are in the same place.

Rocket science is a fucking joke compared to secure IT practices. You saying that, proves that you know neither well enough to participate in this discourse.

It is abundantly clear that you have little to no knowledge or experience in modern IT security practices. And before you ask, no, having watched Mr. Robot all the way through does not count.

There are highly capable technical people that can securely work from home, but this is not the average user.

You absolutely do not have to be highly technical to work securely from home. That’s just silly. You only need highly technical people to ensure the people who work from home can do so securely.

It’s the type of confidence that comes with years of experience in IT security and compliance for global enterprises.

Evidently not.

But I also understand IT security is dramatically complicated by user's working on their private network connection.

It really isn’t.
