IT Professionals, Guilty

did @myboyblue free them?

@EstebanSexface I got this working.
As I mentioned it was working for everything bar one work sheet (which was only a summary page and not actually part of the audit), so I got a bit of VB code that will delete that sheet from the workbook before the main audit routine starts running through it.

This bot is actually my proudest creation. Cuts a manual auditing job that took anywhere from 30 mins to 3 hours down to around 90 seconds.

Saves around 60 hours a month.

Outdated wankers in the HSE it dept if they even have one

They always talk about sophisticated attacks but 99% of them start with either a phishing email or brute forcing RDP.

Poor 58 year old Nuala in accounts is going to carry the can for this after opening up the free cruise.xlsx document .

Sounds more like it was excel file that most likely had a malicious macro embedded.

Don’t allow Macros to run by default in your organisation.

Didn’t read the report but I assume a domain admin account was hijacked at some point and MFA would have prevented that… But yeah a macro probably kicked things off.

Not necessarily, once they have any foothold in the network they’ll extract admin credentials from memory on a machine handy enough, especially when a share of machines were running older versions of Windows.

Seems very lax to be able to go from one fucking ape clicking a link, to taking down a whole network. Would you not be able to tell someone was over in Vladivostok reading Mary’s arthritis files?
