    Garmin ransomware attack

    Garmin services and production go down after ransomware attack | ZDNet

    Fortunately won't affect any CUKers cos we're all couch potatoes.

    Except Brillo but he doesn't count

    Scary stuff tho - will get clientCo's pen test booked!

      Yeah, my run from yesterday still hasn't uploaded to Strava. I could do it manually, but...

        Ransomware only works because of cryptotulips - hopefully it will be a wake up call to ban them en mass - ironically it would make Pooper millions due to plummeting “value”, if his “broker” pays out

          I won't put my garmin in to charge after my 10 mile run there.

            It synced my morning exercise yesterday, nothing since. Oh well, too bad. Will just have to wait until they've fixed it.

              I have an Elemnt Bolt (Wahoo) for my cycling so doesn't impact me from that side, but I do have a Tacx NEO2 trainer so best not try and update firmware on that just in case
              I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man

                  My eTrex 30x is too old to be affected by this.
