Up at @enigmaconf: "Cybercrime: Getting beyond Analog Cops and Digital Robbers" by Mieke Eoyang

#enigma2020
@enigmaconf In May 2019 the city of Baltimore was hit by a cyberattack for the second time. Emergency services were shut down for 17 hours and the hackers demanded 13 bitcoin. They decided not to pay and instead fix the problem themselves. Cost: millions, and everyone yelled at each other.
But media and government weren't blaming the hacker, they were blaming operators, developers, etc.

When a breach becomes public, they blame the victim. It's the equivalent of "that was a mighty short firewall you were wearing"
