Brokers want to track me....

Even being required to show them your license is ########. What are their reasons for scanning you into their system like that? You have my truck license plate/number/company. I want a company ID to give to those people so I can stay secure myself.

 

Couldn't be further from the truth. There are a lot of large corporations, that get hacked on a regular basis. Friggin Adobe, you know one of the largest software companies in the world, got hacked. And it turns out they could not have had worse password storage policies if they tried.
And a lot of these hackers aren't US based. Mostly China, India, and Russia.
Some of the largest companies in the world have gotten hacked. Some, have already been hacked, just no one knows it yet.

 

Adobe and Oracle/Sun Microsystems have been responsible, directly or indirectly, and, in one way or another, for 99%. what I have seen in my 25 year tech life.

 

Then why aren't we hacked? Our board has crashed twice in a year for a total of two hours.
Same with our e log.
Why don't they steal our money then?

They biding their time waiting for the right moment?

There's hundreds of millions up for grabs, what are they waiting for?

 

Closed systems that are paying customer based stand a much better chance of having someone on the backside paying attention 24/7/365.

 

Hackers don't want to be noticed.
Many never are.
The goal of a hacker is to break in, steal what they want, and leave no trace.
Then they can use that info in peace.
If they are detected its national news and everyone is on high alert, and a lot of that data is now impossible to use without getting caught.
Often times a breach is only noticed months or even years after it happens.

 

Crashing and being hacked are 2 different things Dave

 

You both get yourselves a new box of foil.

Like I said, Landstar spends, I'm pretty sure it's 30% of its operating budget on I.T.

You think that's chump change?

It's the largest slice of the pie in the wheel.

It's well known I'm seeking a Co driver, must be a natural female of the species though, that looks good in a cat woman or/ and a sexy witch outfit.

The hackers haven't sent me one yet.

Had the same phone, address, everything going on 15 years.

Guess they are just biding their time, planning, calculating, waiting for that exact moment.

I'm sure your both right though, why take money when you can get someone's underwear size right?

 

I spent 30 years in the insurance industry and my company had a sizable web presence with a staff of 6 in our IT department. They handled all programming to my specs, and managed SEO and server security. Every minute of every day, somebody is knocking on the back door of servers attempting to find a way in from all over the world. In the case of insurance, hackers are looking for social security numbers, birth dates and full legal names.They were never successful getting into my servers, but we had numerous layers of security protocols and we changed them frequently. Even with 6 full time people, hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment and dedicated data truck lines to various parts of the US, the costs were never more than 2-5% of our gross operating budget. Any company paying 20-30% of their budget with payroll is doing pretty good, so anybody dumping 30% additional into IT isn't going to be in business very long if that figure is true.

 

Consider yourself lucky then. I've had my info stolen numerous times over the years. It's a huge pain getting everything straight with the credit reporting agencies, banks, bills etc etc.
