Nope, not a bit.  I can confidently say I currently consume 0 products on that list.

I guess I'm off Cheerios for a while.

Maersk to completely leave Russia and sell its Russian assets.

Anonymous released 10GB database of Nestlé.

[Craig Sawyers]

From the link above it looks like Maersk isn't the only shipping outfit to pull out. It might be the biggest though by a decent margin.

Nestle's position is totally untenable. That it is "only" supplying  "essential" items like baby formula and pet food to Russia misses massively the point that a number of Ukrainian cities are under siege, the population is starving, and have had no power, food or potable water for weeks. And they are having seven kinds of shit bombed out of them daily.

Well Mr Ulf Mark Schneider with your $20m salary - how about some essential items for Ukraine? And how about pulling the plug on Russia, like over 400 companies so far?

Bastard.

Call me a softie, but I'm in favor of not starving Russia's cats. Even that one.

Lukashenko is a clown.

I'm a little late to this game, but hoo boy were folks here spun up about that.  I kept thinking to myself -- "no way Putin let Lukashenka have a working map."

[TMoney]

Did you get a picture with Blinken when he came through?

[Sherwood]

I did!  Several, in fact.  Moldova's a small country, so I got to see quite a bit of S.

I am not sure that the situation in Russia will cause more major cyber crime in the US but I guess there is a good chance that it will or already has.  So to my network security friends here:  what should (and can) do to protect ourselves (besides having secure passwords, 2 factor authentication, and updating our operating systems)?  Obviously, there are bigger issue to worry about but I can’t do anything to stop attacks on the oil pipeline, banks, electrical plants, etc.

What a fucking douchebag. They probably have (a bunch of) video on him. Persecuted? How about being held accountable for your actions?

I would be careful about public statements made about Russia .. and be careful what random super yachts you visit.

There may be a few more targeted attacks. 

In the IT dept I worked in last year, we had a 60" TV displaying attempted network

intrusions. The topmost country was always China by far. Russia was always between 2-5

on the list. Russia will no doubt move up the list, but they would have a hard time becoming 

number one. The big issue in any IT dept is people based.  Careless browsing, people bringing

In unsecured laptops from outside. And the fact that HR never told us when someone left.

We had a ton of accounts active that should of been suspended.

With office 365, they could still use their email months after they left.
