Cloud Data Management Services: Benefits & Risks

In today’s digital landscape, managing growing volumes of data efficiently and securely is vital for businesses. Cloud data management services offer a scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solution compared to traditional database management, which requires significant upfront investment in on-premises hardware. Cloud services allow businesses to store and access data over the internet, eliminating the need for physical infrastructure, and enabling effortless scalability, global accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and reliable disaster recovery.

However, businesses must also consider risks such as data privacy concerns, potential downtime, vendor lock-in, and compliance challenges. Stigasoft, an ISO and CMMI Level 3 Certified provider, offers robust cloud data management services with a focus on high-quality standards, experienced professionals, and 24/7 support. By partnering with Stigasoft, businesses can leverage the full potential of cloud data management while mitigating associated risks for a seamless and secure experience.

I am so unbelievably pissed off. FUCK HOAs

Oh, my trash/recycling bin can't be visible except on pickup day? Ok whatever fine I hate you but I can deal with this

Weekly inspections?????? FU FU FU FU FU

SECOND NOTICE ALSO WE'RE CHARGING YOU MONEY TO SEND YOU CERTIFIED MAIL OF THIS TOTALLY LEGIT TOTALLY SECOND NOTICE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY A VIOLATION cue me: checks notes. Hmm. My recycling bin was. on the curb. on recycling pickup day. You know. The day it has to be out. The day it is motherfucking ALLOWED TO BE FUCKING OUT AND VISIBLE.

so. 1) not a violation

I have sent them the trash AND recycling pickup schedules, which are DIFFERENT, btw

I have disputed the fact of the violation

I have disputed the linking of this "violation" to a previous violation MONTHS AGO--their "first notice" in this case was a "Courtesy Notice" LITERALLY 5 MONTHS AGO and they've done so many inspections since then and my bin CLEARLY WASN'T OUT IN THOSE INTERVENING MONTHS so WTMFH

So I am posting like a crazy person here instead of sending the absolutely deranged email I almost sent (I did send a slightly less deranged version with the disputes, and requesting a hearing)

OMG. It has been. Less than one hour since I learned this fun fun news. My bin was out YESTERDAY, y'all. YESTERDAY. I am going to blow a gasket

For Security Purposes, I am Shutting Down the Wild Hemlock Facebook and Instagram Accounts

Meta knows every website you visit that has the Meta Pixel installed.

And who you are.

Don't worry - I'm staying here on Tumblr! But stop by and take a look at the New and Improved WildHemlock.Com!

As explained by The Register, Hacker News, and elsewhere, all of the apps created by Meta (formerly Facebook) are exploiting a permission in the Android operating system to track everything you do on mobile web browsing apps such as Chrome, Firefox, and even partially DuckDuckGo. According to LifeHacker, the mobile web browser Brave successfully blocked the tracking. I could not find any information about other web browsers such as Vivaldi or the many additional Firefox flavors.

So how is Meta doing this exactly? First, let’s talk about apps. The Instagram app only allows you to post via mobile app which is additionally nefarious. When Meta’s apps are installed on your phone, it will continually run in the background as a service. This grants the app additional privileges. For a popular example, YouTube didn’t always use to be able to make a video play while you were using another app. It was rewritten some time ago as a service, as opposed to a normal app, and now it can play both audio or picture-in-picture while you use your phone and other apps because it has more permissions. This is the type of app that Facebook and Instagram are.

Android services have access to what is referred to as localhost. Think of it like the local device hosting the app – it is an address which loops back to your phone. The address is 127.0.0.1 in web browsing – it points back to your own computer. If you were hosting a service on your computer, it would open service when you type “127.0.0.1” into the address bar of your web browser. This is very useful for developers, both on a mobile phone or computer, especially for testing network programming.

Wild Hemlock Will NEVER Install a Meta Pixel Script!

French initiative for responsible AI leaders - AI News

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/french-initiative-for-responsible-ai-leaders-ai-news/

French initiative for responsible AI leaders - AI News

ESSEC Business School and Accenture have announced the launch of a new initiative, ‘AI for Responsible Leadership,’ which marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the role of Chair at ESSEC, titled the ESSEC Accenture Strategic Business Analytics Chair.

The initiative aims to encourage the use of artificial intelligence by leaders in ways that are responsible and ethical, and that lead to high levels of professional performance. It aims to provide current and future leaders with the skills they require when faced with challenges in the future; economic, environmental, or social.

Several organisations support the initiative, including institutions, businesses, and specialised groups, including ESSEC Metalab for Data, Technology & Society, and Accenture Research.

Executive Director of the ESSEC Metalab, Abdelmounaim Derraz, spoke of the collaboration, saying, “Technical subjects are continuing to shake up business schools, and AI has opened up opportunities for collaboration between partner companies, researchers, and other members of the ecosystem (students, think tanks, associations, [and] public service).”

ESSEC and Accenture aim to integrate perspectives from multiple fields of expertise, an approach that is a result of experimentation in the decade the Chair has existed.

The elements of the initiative include workshops and talks designed to promote the exchange of knowledge and methods. It will also include a ‘barometer’ to help track AI’s implementation and overall impact on responsible leadership.

The initiative will engage with a network of institutions and academic publications, and an annual Grand Prix will recognise projects that focus on and explore the subject of AI and leadership.

Fabrice Marque, founder of the initiative and the current ESSEC Accenture Strategics Business Analytics Chair, said, “For years, we have explored the potential of using data and artificial intelligence in organisations. The synergies we have developed with our partners (Accenture, Accor, Dataiku, Engie, Eurofins, MSD, Orange) allowed us to evaluate and test innovative solutions before deploying them.

“With this initiative, we’re taking a major step: bringing together an engaged ecosystem to sustainably transform how leaders think, decide, and act in the face of tomorrow’s challenges. Our ambition is clear: to make AI a lever for performance, innovation and responsibility for […] leaders.”

Managing Director at Accenture and sponsor of the ESSEC/Accenture Chair and initiative, Aurélien Bouriot, said, “The ecosystem will benefit from the resources that Accenture puts at its disposal, and will also benefit our employees who participate.”

Laetitia Cailleteau, Managing Director at Accenture and leader of Responsible AI & Generative AI for Europe, highlighted the importance of future leaders understanding all aspects of AI.

“AI is a pillar of the ongoing industrial transformation. Tomorrow’s leaders must understand the technical, ethical, and human aspects and risks – and know how to manage them. In this way, they will be able to maximise value creation and generate a positive impact for the organisation, its stakeholders and society as a whole.”

obnoxious that I can't just use a computer to do the things I've always used computers to do, now I have to use two different computers including one with specialized hardware for interfacing with an entirely different network of interdevice communication. I don't wanna turn on goddamn mfa, and it's insufferable when I have to goddamn pull out another hundreds of dollars of tech just to be allowed to use your site's search (because you forbid it unauthenticated)

Cloud and Data: A sidewalk!

In a world where 10 million data generate each hour, is there any business identity without data? Apart from the hypothetical world that pushes businesses to adopt a plan that is enriched towards an unattainable goal for objectives stepping forward through the wave of optimism, can any spectrum of business meet the goal without a shower of data?

Third-Party Cyber Insurance Coverage Explained | Cyber Insurance in India

In today’s digital world, cyber risks are not just internal threats. Data breaches, identity theft, and cyberattacks can trigger lawsuits, penalties, and third-party claims, making cyber insurance in India a necessity, not a choice.

One essential part of any cyber insurance policy is Third-Party Coverage. Unlike first-party coverage (which protects your own business), this coverage shields you from claims made by others — customers, clients, vendors, or regulatory authorities.

Let’s explore:

What is cyber insurance?

What is third-party cyber liability coverage?

Why Indian companies need it

Key risks covered

Difference between first-party & third-party coverage

Benefits for corporates, SMEs, and startups

What is Cyber Insurance?

Cyber insurance, also known as cyber security insurance or cyber liability insurance, protects businesses from financial loss due to cyber threats like:

Data breaches

Malware & ransomware attacks

Hacking & phishing

Unauthorized access

Business interruption

Today, cyber insurance in India is an integral part of commercial insurance portfolios, especially for digital-first companies.

What is Third-Party Coverage in Cyber Insurance?

Third-party coverage refers to the protection provided against claims, legal actions, or regulatory penalties brought by external parties affected by a cyber incident in your organization.

For example:

If your systems are hacked and customer data is leaked, your clients may sue you.

If a business partner suffers loss due to a cyber breach on your end, they may file a claim.

If a regulator penalizes you for failing to protect personal data, you're liable.

Third-party cyber insurance pays for your legal defense, settlements, and related costs.

What Does Third-Party Cyber Insurance Cover?

Here’s a breakdown of key coverages under third-party liability in cyber insurance:

1. Legal Defense Costs

Covers attorney fees, court expenses, and legal proceedings if a third party sues your company for negligence or data loss.

2. Regulatory Fines & Penalties

Pays penalties imposed by government bodies or regulators (like CERT-In, RBI, IRDAI) for non-compliance with data protection laws.

3. Third-Party Damages

If a client or partner suffers financial loss due to your cyber incident, this coverage compensates them.

4. Media Liability

Covers claims related to defamation, copyright infringement, or libel from your digital content (especially relevant to media, tech, or advertising companies).

5. Privacy Liability

Protects against lawsuits stemming from loss or mishandling of personal identifiable information (PII) or sensitive customer data.

Third-Party vs First-Party Cyber Coverage

A complete cyber insurance policy should include both coverages for end-to-end protection.

Why Indian Businesses Need Third-Party Coverage

Cybersecurity threats in India are rising exponentially, especially with digital payments, cloud adoption, and remote work becoming mainstream.

Here’s why third-party coverage in cyber insurance is critical for Indian companies:

India has the second-largest number of internet users globally — more users mean more data to protect.

The DPDP Act (Digital Personal Data Protection Act) mandates strict privacy compliance.

A data breach now costs Indian companies an average of ₹18.3 crore.

Increasing legal scrutiny and class-action suits around personal data exposure.

Whether you're in e-commerce, fintech, healthcare, or education, third-party risks can impact your brand reputation, finances, and operations.

Who Should Opt for Third-Party Cyber Liability Coverage?

✅ Corporates and enterprises handling large-scale consumer or partner data ✅ Startups and SMEs operating online platforms, apps, or digital services ✅ IT and BPO companies with access to client databases or networks ✅ Healthcare and BFSI sectors governed by strict data privacy regulations ✅ Any company looking to strengthen its business insurance or company insurance coverage

How to Choose the Right Cyber Insurance Policy

When selecting a cyber insurance policy, ensure it includes:

Both first-party and third-party protection

High coverage limits for legal claims & data breaches

Coverage of legal expenses, settlements, and privacy violations

Add-ons like crime insurance and reputation damage control

Fast claims support and cyber incident response

🧩 Real-World Example

Case: Indian Fintech Startup (2023) A fintech firm faced a lawsuit after hackers breached their system and leaked customer KYC data. Customers sued the company, and regulators imposed fines. Their third-party cyber insurance covered:

₹2.5 crore in legal fees

₹1 crore in regulatory fines

₹1 crore in settlements with affected users

Without cyber coverage, these costs could have crippled the startup.

Final Thoughts

Cyber and crime insurance isn’t just about securing IT systems — it’s about protecting your business from reputational and legal ruin. Third-party coverage ensures you're prepared for legal backlash and financial liability when things go wrong.

In a digitally connected economy, having robust cyber insurance in India is no longer optional — it's essential for insurance for corporations, startups, and all modern businesses.
