Glad my mother-in-law had her knee surgery LAST week.

US medical device maker Stryker hit with cyberattack from Iranian hacktivists who remotely wiped employee devices. "many employees have had their device data wiped and cannot access their accounts" Stryker makes surgical/imaging equipment, defibrillators https://t.co/PA2eBYjPfK

@XfinitySupport 3 disconnected calls, multiple transfers, over an hour and still no help with my disconnect. I WILL file a complaint with the @FCC over this. Ridiculous.

[David Scott @shoestringdave]

@comcastbusiness the @FCC doesn't like it when you make it this hard to disconnect. Do I need to call them???

[David Scott @shoestringdave]

@XfinitySupport @FCC please help!!!

[David Scott @shoestringdave]

@XfinitySupport I'm on my second call to that number, after being on hold for more than 10 minutes, and then having them hang up. So...try again.

[David Scott @shoestringdave]

I'm a huge fan and longtime listener of
@riskybusiness, but Pat and company's overuse (and inaccurate) use of the term "Nazi" is tiresome.

Still trying to dig out from under the clusterf*** from @threatdown's ".AI" detections this week.

Does anyone else find it comical that @rackspace is giving advice on account security in their latest status update about their ransomware attacK? #RackspaceOutage

[David Scott @shoestringdave]

@rackspace: "We proactively powered down and disconnected the Hosted Exchange environment" #RackspaceOutage

[David Scott @shoestringdave]

@ImdaDoog @meghendricks @Rackspace Cut out the middle man. Sign up directly with Microsoft 365 for Business. Don't even mess with Rackspace's workaround.

[David Scott @shoestringdave]

I know it kinda sucks, but with the @rackspace "workaround" also failing (Office 365), I skipped the middle man and went straight to Microsoft 365 for Business today. 50 accounts, two domains, but done and email is flowing. I'll start exporting OST's soon. #RackspaceOutage

[David Scott @shoestringdave]

@vagyvag @Rackspace I had a work around on this screen that MIGHT help. If you have the 'More" option on the left-hand panel, and open the Office 365 Admin Panel, you'll get a list of users. But there should be a "settings" option on the left side. Explode this, and the domain options are there.

[David Scott @shoestringdave]

I hate to be that guy, but the @rackspace outage is testing everyone's disaster recovery plans today.

I know I failed: no one seems to have the creds for our DNS.

[David Scott @shoestringdave]

@Cody_Towns_ @Sea2SeaAccount @Rackspace Actually, it looks like https://t.co/Po9ib3mVyR has dns at https://t.co/Ad2abmSeBY and squarespace

[David Scott @shoestringdave]

@Cody_Towns_ @Sea2SeaAccount @Rackspace What's your domain, Cody? I can tell you where your DNS is hosted if you don't know.
