Thanks. New one to me. Wonder how they bypass the pay wall. Disabling the java script probably wouldn't work?

I remember that day well, I was in Montreal for the week launching a cloud-based contact centre platform for a large financial services company. All of the prep work had been done remotely with the final testing, training and launch taking place in their office which meant I hadn't been able to build trust or a proper relationship with them the same way I normally would. Anyway, on the Friday morning we switched all the phone numbers over to our service and managed to get the first person logged in and everything was going well. However, we couldn't get anyone else logged in which prompted their IT Director to come down and started berating me, the company and the cloud in general.
Then the bat phone went off due to all their payment systems and websites going down and we went into a room that was like the bridge of the enterprise for monitoring all systems and they had the below screen up showing the whole of North Americas internet being pummelled.
We put in place a solution to route calls to people's mobiles before going back to the original plan at about 3PM and then he took me out for dinner and drinks and apologised. That event helped build his trust in me and we became good pals. (Although he is a bloody Chelsea fan)

This has been going on for decades.
Every single major bank has hired hackers at one time or another on excellent money to work on their security. After all, who better to protect your business than a specialist who actually knows the tricks of the trade and modern techniques?
Many have gone straight and have had very long and lucrative careers in financial and law enforcement sectors doing cyber security.

Us too. There is absolutely nothing smart in our house - including the inhabitants.

I don't have Alexa but trying to ask my 'smart' TV to do relatively simply thing is often a slow and painful process.
I have three teenager so in terms of entities that cannot or will not understand simple instructions I am set.
