How would you decide what is legitimate ? Better would be a "this site is suspiciously new" warning in browsers. At $WORK, newly registered sites are blocked by default by the network appliance.

The 250bn figure is one pushed by the private owners, trying to defend their high yields. It's likely inflated with bonuses and short term schemes to juice returns. Meanwhile, they've extracted 85bn in dividends since privatizatio

Not if they might become a competitor, or thrive (proving that the sale was a good idea). Better to keep them weak and likely to fail.

Sweden is part of the expanded 5 eyes (now 14 eyes). As a workaround for restrictions on domestic spying, they subcontract their dirty work to each other. Hence, you can expect the US to assist in pressuring them (ostensibly on behalf of Sw

No, that's not right. Public health insurance in the EU does not use that concept. Participating insurance companies are not allowed to set rates that way, since it doesn't serve the public good.

presumably it has a semantic model of sorts, defining intrinsic relationships between entities (parent-child, composed-of, sibling-of, and so on) A bit similar how certain joins in SQL can be very straightforward with the "USING"

Its support and security posture could very well be better than average. Looking a other breaches (Qlik Attunity, Microsoft AAD, ...) indicates that being better then average is not enough if you're a sufficiently attractive target.

I'm not sure it does, perhaps it violates the spirit but not the letter. You need a way to give your employees access to customer data; for support cases. So you build a "request access" form in your ITSM. Now you can tick o

No, that sounds about right. This is a new, agile, cloud-first company that grew very quickly and has faced significant turnover. You don't get such growth by doing everything right. Looking at linked-in, the unlucky employee could be

Current wisdom was that higher interest rates would be good for a bank (after all, deposits are sticky). That didn't turn out to be the case for SVB (high concentration of risk, ...) but is more true for a more diversified bank, especi

yep. Due to the SVB failure, large banks are now backstopped by a guarantee that they can loan from the FED at 100% of the value of the bonds at redemption time (even though they're worth less right now, due to rates hiking). That wou
