Don't stay in hotels, use Airbnb especially when coming to Atlanta. 😀
The issue stems from people that swipe their card at the front desk. If you don't need to swipe, you are less likely to be affected - at least from these common malware attacks. Airbnb saves you the pain of the swipe. Several hotel brands offer similar services that rid the need to swipe. I don't use airbnb regularly in favor of a couple hotel chains that work better for me. Holiday inn is not on that list. Hyatt is also not on that list.

Yikes. I stayed at a Holiday Inn for the first time in years just a couple of weeks ago. Luckily it was in Telford and this seems to all be in the US. Dodged a bullet.

That's got to be the first time somebody was considering themselves lucky to have been staying in a Holiday Inn in Telford...

Grrrr. I hate blackbox server names.
Me: Is FTP connection XYZ affected by your login / password changes
Corporate: What's the path?
Me: Umm, XYZ is the only name I have. I don't have remote access to the site. I just know a file gets sent and magic happens to load it to your systems.
Corporate: But what's the path?

Great. Add another one to the list of companies that design insecure systems.
The article said that they know the malware was active from September 2016 to December 2016, then got confirmation that it’s gone last month. They finally announced it today. Pathetic.

Well, it is an arc starting from an upright position with head moving forward quickly in an arcing movement as the body bends forward to bring the head in contact with desk. An action that is usually repeated several times until either the desk breaks or one has given oneself a concussion.

I was joking with a co-worker yesterday about naming servers with valid IP addresses, but not the actual IP of the server itself...
I can mentally hear the conversation:
A: Hey, is 192.168.1.11 down?
B: I dunno, can you ping it from 10.10.10.21?
A: Hang on, let me log into 10.10.10.21 and try.
Now I want to try this at home...

And when you both leave the company with no documentation left behind, the logic bomb you've planted will explode in someone's face and cause all sorts of mayhem.
Congrats. We have officially gone full circle on that question. @=)

Well, SSC is a great site. I saw a response to a question, contacted the respondent by PM, and it paid off. Paul Stanton has accepted an invitation to speak at the Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Denver SQL Server Users Group meetings in September. He is the VP Cloud and Products at Windocks.
Thank you, Steve, for having such a wonderful site that can actually help in many ways.
