"We published them because in the negotiation process a $20 billion company refuses to pay adequate money," the source said.
"As soon as the timer runs out you will be able to see all the information, the negotiations are over and are no longer in progress. We have refused the ridiculous amount offered."
Says the people who illegally hacked in and got the data. What clowns.
And CDW are clowns too. They were offering to pay the hackers, which just encourages more, but that fell through so they showed themselves to be pussies AND will have the data leaked anyway. At least the clown hackers didn't get any money.
I'm sitting here wondering, why does a company that deals with IT people daily not have their data encrypted in the first place.
Because actual security is hard work, and it's easier to just shuffle your data off to some cloud bucket because they promise "We're secure!"
This.
IT is just a consumable commodity in the modern business world. The exploit vectors exceed the understanding of the MBA middle-managing budget weenies so it gets deprioritized, staffed by low-ball talent, or outsourced.
