@jamiemaccoll @uuallan @jgreigj @TheRecord_Media And this is what we should be trying to track, as the number of incidents is a pretty poor measure. A decrease in overall severity could mean we were headed in the right direction, even if the number of incidents had increased.

[Brett Callow @BrettCallow]

@jamiemaccoll @uuallan @jgreigj @TheRecord_Media Severity is assessed based on factors such as the financial loss incurred, the extent of data loss, business interruption, recovery costs, and any additional consequences of an attack <-- So I'm told.

🧵Happy (?) Monday! Today we launch the @Kickstarter for the Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar trade! This collects all 4 issues of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar PLUS a 20-page Christmas special starring @ddd1ms and some special behind the scenes pages!

But wait, there's more...
