Oh...and speaking of hackers:
#Russia linked collective #Cl0p claims to have exfiltrated thousands of gigs of technical materials from #Shell, #Philips, and another 50 companies.
#Cl0p has an interesting business model. Instead of "lock it down" ransomware, they exfiltrate IP, then hold *it* ransom. Pay them, or trade secrets get dumped. That's a nice patent application you got there...be a shame if it was to become public...
