Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
He expected an AD password change to stop them and evoke a ransom? And he did all the crap from a VM on his own computer?
Sounds like he has the planning capabilities of a preteen. I wonder if someone else in his house or family got a hold of his credentials and pulled this off...
I dunno, I know a bunch of "senior" administrators that would be this blindingly stupid.
They just assume they're smarter than everyone and thus don't need to do anything to hide their shit because nobody could possibly figure out what they're doing.
So far I've yet to meet one that's actually right about that.
He could have picked up a black market encryption package, installed it through some vulnerability that he would be aware of through a sufficiently remote proxy and no one would have been the wiser.
But instead he reenacted scary movie it's coming from inside the house.
The problem is no matter how much it looks like it's a remote service he's going to be right then and there in the center of the investigation. He is suspect number one and two.
Everyone thinks the people there before them are idiots. They will say the same about you in a few years.

This guy needs something but prison time ain't it. This is the dumbest plan since just grabbing the cash and trying to run right past the casino guards.
I've changed the title from the auto-suggested one to the one in the article.
