The Fine Balance of the IT Privacy and Security Weekly Update for the week ending February 6th., 2024

This week we start with your dear Gran.  When’s the last time you called her to see how she was doing?​After our first update we hope that call will happen within the next day or two.  From there we move to a model corporate citizen in CloudFlare and discover further repercussion from last year’s Okta Breach and a remote desktop solution that could almost use their breech as a PR exercise.We are reminded that everyone on that Zoom call might not be as they seem, and find a glorious dip in ransomware payouts that hopefully indicate the new direction of ransomware attacks.Then... we go dark with a report that has probably crossed all of our minds since the Covid-19 outbreak.We get some good news for the environment from some joint work between MIT and IBM and we end with what some would call a regulatory imbalance.From empathy to entropy and back again this week’s update gets the balance right.
