  • layoffs would not be the bellwether for that.

    I guess we can at least agree, that even if a company doing lay offs isn’t necessarily going belly up, a company that is going belly up is probably doing some lay offs along the way.

    However going beyond the point we agree over… what if a lay off sets in motion a series of chain reactions:

    • reduced investor/shareholder confidence -> possibly stock/company-value tanking -> -> leading to issues with the lowered valuation and their debt, worse credit rating(?)
    • destroyed worker moral -> the best workers are more likely to leave, workers who remain having to shoulder their burden
    • less team members have to shoulder much more work (usually for the same pay)

    I am sure there are other factors and maybe some of those three above are not a factor at all…













  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KRACK " The KRACK attack

    believed to affect all variants of WPA and WPA2; however, the security implications vary between implementations, depending upon how individual developers interpreted a poorly specified part of the standard. Software patches can resolve the vulnerability but are not available for all devices.[57] KRACK exploits a weakness in the WPA2 4-Way Handshake, a critical process for generating encryption keys. Attackers can force multiple handshakes, manipulating key resets. By intercepting the handshake, they could decrypt network traffic without cracking encryption directly. This poses a risk, especially with sensitive data transmission.[58]"
