But we’ve always done (in)security this way
Being an operator for the Twitter account for any large brand can be challenging and tough at the best of times. But it can be even more so when faced with security questions.
When security experts on Twitter questioned NatWest_help why the homepage wasn’t secure the Bank initially tried to downplay the issue. But the bullying on Twitter forced the changes. Troy Hunt led the charge with “Securittyyyyy” much like Mel Gibson declared “Freeedom” in Braveheart, and NatWest finally gave in and upgraded within 48 hours.
The Security Avengers (name pending) then fired a warning shot across other major banks which did not have secure homepages which has likely got many a security executive in a board room explaining likelihood and impact slides.

Why incident response is the best cybersecurity ROI
Many times, there is little influence over what companies run and what it is run on. Chances are there will be failures or breaches – what is within the sphere of control is how well those incidents are responded to.

Welcome to the hotel hackifornia
Christoph Brandstatter is managing director of the four-star Seehotel, Jagerwirt, in Austria's Alps.
His hotel's electronic door locks and other systems were hacked for ransom four times, between December 2016 and January 2017.
He paid a ransom of two bitcoins, at that time it was about €1,600 (£1,406: $1,882)".
He’s trained his staff to recognise phishing emails that may seem genuine but actually contain malware.
And he's moved back to traditional metal keys.

The restaurant that didn’t exist
People increasingly make decisions based on what they read on the internet. There’s an inherent trust about it. You book a cab through an app to take you to the airport where you board a plane which you booked online, to go and stay in a stranger's apartment you found through a different site.
But it’s a fragile ecosystem that’s open to abuse, as one freelance writer discovered when his unique restaurant beat out thousands to earn to ranking well on TripAdvisor for a time, drawing a flood of interest.
The problem was though, it didn’t exist.
