  • Last organisation I worked for—not for profit, health—had around 17,500 employees. One of the cybersecurity managers had every employees details and devices on a Google Sheet private account that anyone could see if they had the share URL.

    Home addresses, phone numbers, MAC addresses, IMEIs, columns of PII…

    I started getting all sorts of unsolicited contact and 2-step authentication alerts “randomly” after two months there and 8 months later rEvil successfully ransomwared for $3.4M.

    So when I found this sheet and no one took it seriously, I declared an internal data breach, submitted it to the fed—as you legally must in this country—and shit hit the fan for that department.

    A lot of that comes from being healthy, though. Sleep well, exercise, eat well. Watch your anxiety drop, focus go up, motivation go up, happiness go up. The more you do it, the easier it gets, so then the more it improves, so the easier it gets, etc.

    I think so many people would be surprised that many of their life’s problems and self-diagnosis or concerns of a mental problem can be resolved by exercising so they get an eppetite and are actually tired for bed time, rather than living with the fog and anxiety of doing nothing and not being able to get good rest.
