Shares of Dish Network fell more than 6% before the bell after Bank of America double-downgraded the stock to underperform from a buy rating.
"Over the past 12 months, the company has had to navigate a prolonged period of expected and unexpected technological challenges and would not likely hit cruising speed until 2024, by our estimate," wrote analyst David Barden.

For some it's a big deal for others it's not. The only ones who are really affected are those trying to access customer support or do something online through DIsh's online services.
Heck I haven't even seen a mention of this on the other satellite forum.
I would be interested in knowing what information was taken in this hack. But I don't worry about that stuff much anymore as I have T Mobile they get hacked all the time. (Juan he is a perfect time for you to push Verizon)

Yes, and in my real (well out of the home life) I am a real CIO (Chief Information Officer) who is responsible for all Information Technology and Telephony (VOIP) systems. Even the CISO reports to me, and trust me, we would be having some heart to heart discussions after this and they would have to soul search if they (he/she) still wanted to stay with the company, or give them time to find some other gig. Sorry but upper management are pricks and have one responsibility. To the Owners/Shareholders/Customers. No one else.
But as someone with 30+ years in the seat, I would be the bad guy sitting (or standing with my back against the wall) in Charlie's office when he's screaming to get the systems back yesterday! I would be telling him, HELL NO!, (it's good that the CIO can tell off the CEO sometimes).
It would go something like this:
"Charlie, I could get the systems back up and running in about 3-4 hours but I'm not going to do that. We came down because we had/have a vulnerability that we did not know about and still don't. If I restore the systems (you understand that we were 'TARGETED!! right?) the bad people will just exploit the same vulnerability and you'll be back down possibly even worse than we are now before the sun rises. And this time, instead of just encrypting some files and trying to ransom us, they will probably go out and delete files and dig deeper into more confidential data or attack the transmission and programming systems. Is that what you want me to do?
By now, Charlie is looking at me like I am Moses the wise man and Lord of the Dance. Because I've been to this party before and he hasn't. I'm going to keep the systems down, bring in experienced outside experts and do a complete forensic analysis as to exactly how they got in, any other ways of getting in and get all those patched before I even being to give the all clear to start restoring the systems.
If you don't trust me, fire me! If you don't trust the person that you've given to and has the keys to 'your' kingdom then by all means fire them. But I can tell you that the exploit that was used won't be able to be used again and that's why you pay me that salary that you griped about years ago when you hired me. I earn that money not over the course of a year but in situations just like this one, by keeping your company from going bankrupt! Now what I've said my peace, do you want to go to Denny's and get some pancakes while my people are busy doing their jobs or do you just want to vent some more?
P.S. The above exchange actually did occur at one of my companies early on when break-in's generally meant locking up PC's or systems and have not gotten as sophisticated as they are now. Except we went to a Mexican place he loved to keep talking. The discussion (it was with a CEO named Mark, BTW) went just about the same way. After we recovered he became one of my stanchest supporters, never questioned reasonable budget requests, from then on, and installed me as a standing report topic at every board meeting so that the board also understood these threats.
Luckily, I'm about couple years now from deciding to screw it all and start spending some of that money and get back with my wife and family full time. The reason I say luckily, is that I see something that not a lot of people see now and it scares the sh*t out of me.
What is that????
Attacks have become more sophisticated right? Now, who is thinking on the impact of AI (Artificial Intelligence) lead attacks that can try 1000's of permutations a second on target company and don't get tired or ever give up? This is the next major nightmare of CIO's and CISO's in any real company. I have attended and have spoken on this in a few conferences and most of the audience just sits there and stares with an "Aww sh*t" look on their faces and then run back to blast their security people on what they are going to do about something that doesn't even exist yet but WILL!!!
End of soap box. I've already asked my assistant to schedule a meeting with my CISO about what the status of his projects are and what will be a future road map. Face to face and he lives in a different city! Just to underscore the importance of the subject.
I can't remember how many times I have had my T-mobile information hacked and found on the dark net, since the 2000s. I found it in my Credit Karma account. As long as I don't see it in my bank account or credit ratings I'm ok.For some it's a big deal for others it's not. The only ones who are really affected are those trying to access customer support or do something online through DIsh's online services.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Didn't see a thread like this so I figured why not start one. This is about natural supplements. If you aren't into supplements, fine, but please let those of us who do want to discuss this discuss it.
The first one I wanted to mention has been a real life changer. I'm 62 and still do all of my own install work at my business....also do all the yard work at the house. A few years ago I started noticing that I was losing my range of movement, it was even getting hard to bend over and lace up my boots. Almost got stuck in an attic because I couldn't get turned around once the work was done. Didn't think much of it and figured with age comes stiffness that was only going to get worse as time went on.
It was then that I stumbled across a video which was discussing rotator cuff tears and why they were to prevalent these days. Turns out, the culprit is a simple deficiency in MANGANESE which is key in keeping your tendons flexible. Most anti-biotics strip your body of any manganese it might have had which is why certain anti-biotics, especially those in the Cipro family. I actually knew a man who had two tendons tear while on that stuff.
Went to Amazon and ordered some manganese. Now it took a while, it wasn't instant, but gradually I have regained all of my flexibility. I can bend over and touch my toes while standing with no pain and putting on my boots is no longer a chore.
Pretty cheap too. The bottle I ordered was a 200 ct for under $13. They said to take double the normal dose for the first month because most people are severely lacking, then go to one a day.

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

Can't help but wonder if a worker overlooked checking the harness. I rarely ride a roller coaster anymore but when I do I check the harness myself pretty aggressively.
Can't imagine what the son is going through.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes.

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though
You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...

I'm surprised Walmart hasn't banned this guy from all of their stores. He has been on their CASE the past few months.

Love this guy's channel. Looks like Walmart has thrown in the towel when it comes to conventional car batteries.
I bought a new AGM battery from Walmart about a year ago, it is already needing replacing. I thought about just buying a regular battery but from what I've read, that might not be a smart move. Might check my Forscan program and see if I can change the battery type from AGM.
