    “The amount of non technical people performing shadow IT work at local municipalities is flabbergasting. You have no idea of the amount of exposed endpoints with admin:admin as their credentials.” - dude I know.

      I don’t miss network administration. The long drag out conversations with clients to convince them that basic security was necessary while dodging the “it’s fine we’ve always done it this way” and “we don’t want to memorize new passwords” hot spots.

    Okay. What are they gonna do about it? Are they just going to be “on edge” and take no action whatsoever?

      They are thinking about possibly starting to do something about it.

      I wonder if the people/businesses that set up the internet connectivity are even around any more.
