Thank you for that, it too helped to understand the situation better. I did want to clarify something I wrote: Here's a simple example of what...
Thanks, that gave me a better idea of how security is set up in large organizations. :thumb:
This is intriguing. If you have discussed this idea before, I'd love to read more about it: on some forums, people would freak out to read a...
The best point in a post full of good points! (To be clear: I'm not being argumentative in what follows, just shocked and curious to learn more....

That was a useful and informative article, thank you. :thumb: This article, which is linked to on that page, was also highly informative.

OK, here's some additional information that may shed light on what BlackFog is and how it works: https://www.blackfog.com/faq/
Just finished reading that post and I agree: it's not clear at what point in the process the attack was blocked or how successful it was. One...

By chance, last night I decided to run a full scan on one of my Windows 7 machines with Windows Defender. (Note that this is the old-style Windows...
+1, I too would love to know what the threat was and which layer of defenses stopped it. It would add a data point to the observations.
That's been my experience too. I used Vista for my main PC until 2021 (protected by Norton 360, HMP.A, uBO, and frequent running of on-demand...
When you say "isolate," do you mean 1) sneakernet, 2) sandboxing, 3) VMs, or 4) something else?
