@EndIsraeliApartheid I wonder what id do if I were a customer or employee. Would I trust myself to intervene? Would I make it worse somehow? Would I provide comfort to the aggressor, unwittingly or due to unexamined biases?

I'd like to think I'd know how to de-escalate but then there's such levels of injustice that efforts to maintain calm feel like supporting the status quo.

Panera Bread likely paid a ransom in March ransomware attack

Panera Bread, an American chain of fast food restaurants, most likely paid a ransom after being hit by a ransomware attack, suggests language used an internal email sent to employees.

Last week, Panera began sending data breach notifications to employees, warning that threat actors stole personal information in a March cyberattack that included names and social security numbers.

While Panera has not publicly disclosed details about their attack, BleepingComputer first reported that Panera Bread suffered a ransomware attack that encrypted all of its virtual machines.

The attack led to a week-long, company-wide disruption that affected their website, phone systems, mobile app, point-of-sale, and internal systems.

BleepingComputer later learned that one of their storage servers was not encrypted in the attack, allowing the company to rebuild and restore servers from backups.

However, no ransomware gang ever claimed the attack or leaked stolen data, indicating that a ransom was paid.

Just as the data breach notifications were being emailed on Thursday, an alleged employee claimed on Reddit that Panera paid a ransom to have the hackers delete the stolen data and avoid a public leak.

"This probably will not make it far but just got out of a corporate meeting where they broke to us that all our data has been stolen since march and they paid the hackers to "not release" its employees data," reads the Reddit thread by an alleged Panera employee.

There is a new trending beverage in the USA: Lemonade with added caffeine. One cup of #Panera contains nearly 400mg of caffeine – that’s more than two big cans of Monster Energy.

At least two deaths are linked to the energy lemonade already: washingtonpost.com/wellness/20

And now I'm reenabling and reinstalling the #streamer apps I'm stuck paying for, for various reasons beyond streaming, though I'm not sure I'm going to resubscribe to #Netflix or #HBO / (Skin-a-)#Max.

I had HBO on #cable, then streaming, for about 40 years 😳, and Netflix 25-26 years or so.

Neither service tried to keep me or get me back as a customer. #Panera's #SipClub was more tenacious and compelling and kept me paying at least something for a good year after I first cancelled.
