@nytimes So when are they going to pay their employees??? They’re over a week late and telling employees it’s going f to be another 2 weeks-so it’ll be at least 3 weeks late on paying their staff-WTH?!?!

A ransomware attack on a supply chain management company has forced Starbucks stores to manage employee schedules the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper, and disrupted the coffee chain’s ability to pay staff. https://t.co/44WnrDgUuY

@Jaz_Barton @Starbucks They were hit with a massive ransomware and many of their systems are still not available. Heck-they aren’t even paying their employees. They’re hoping to pay them in a couple of weeks for the paychecks that were due over a week ago! #familymemberworksthere

Today, we in Ukraine remember our people who were killed by Russian barbarians in Olenivka. It stands as one of the most horrific Russian crimes in this war.

Russia must be held accountable for this, and they will be. There is no scenario where the murderers remain unpunished.

Eternal memory to all our people who were killed by the occupiers.

‘Sometimes you have to break things in order to fix them. Sometimes a small repair or tweak is not enough.’ Many of us have heard this in our past…it’s about knowing when to heed this advice!

@POTUS @SenTedCruz, listen to @kvolker on how to implement air support. #SaveUkraineNow

[Brenda Santos @InfoSecLady]

Find someone who has been here a while and we’d be happy to talk about the various options/tracks so you can start to see which is for you. I had an affinity for Access Control and Policy…

Step 1 to get into cybersecurity: figure out what you want to do in cybersecurity. It's so vast, but once you know, your path will be clear.

@SJohnson_7 It’s not Lubbock, La Unica I’m Childress, get the combo. 😋

@ZelenskyyUa Samantha Bull made this! #Ukraine #IStandWithUkraine @POTUS Americans support Ukraine!

[Brenda Santos @InfoSecLady]

@SenTedCruz Now it’s your time to have courage and find a way to actively help 🇺🇦, and I’m not talking about pushing papers with sanctions that have an impact 3 months from now 🤦‍♀️. Be on the right side of history here and get convert operations going now, not just cybersecurity!!

The prime minister of India should be cautious about their openness to support the evil Putin. They should note that many jobs are because of companies in the US. I will make it my personal goal to ensure that every company knows that India is equal to any other ally of Russia.

@InfoSecLady @KremlinRussia_E @ZelenskyyUa @narendramodi Appropriate words for USA by Ukraine. F*** off. But we want war should off.

[Brenda Santos @InfoSecLady]

This is horrifying. @SenTedCruz if there’s a day to get a backbone, this is it. #texan #denouncethis #IStandWithUkraine

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

As Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep Paul Gosar speak at this white supremacist, anti-Semitic, pro-Putin event, silence by Republican Party leaders is deafening and enabling.

All Americans should renounce this garbage and reject the Putin wing of the GOP now.

[Brenda Santos @InfoSecLady]

@K7SKRS @KremlinRussia_E @ZelenskyyUa @narendramodi You need to f*** off!!

[Brenda Santos @InfoSecLady]

@ZelenskyyUa is the world’s hero. The Presidents around the world should aspire to have just half the courage, bravery, and patriotism during a crisis as you have!! We are praying for you & 🇺🇦. @POTUS, it’s time to send covert military assistance!!

[Brenda Santos @InfoSecLady]

We are & will be on the WRONG side of history. Sanctions are not saving lives today!! Imagine reading about this in history books.. the world watched and pushed some papers while bombs rained down killing people. Horrendous. @POTUS @SenTedCruz #UkraineInvasion

[Brenda Santos @InfoSecLady]

As we watch the invasion live and do nothing actively to help the innocent Ukrainians, we have blood on ALL OF OUR hands. Sanctions are one thing, but that doesn’t save lives today!! NATO and the US should be sending in the Air Force now!! @POTUS @SenTedCruz #UkraineInvasion
