  • Thank you for such an informational comment. My comment was wildly tongue-in-cheek but apparently it didn’t come across that way.

    I didn’t know evaporative cooling was in use or even particularly effective for data centers. They generate a lot of heat that needs to be dealt with. I would think that modern HVAC systems would be so much more effective at that scale. Essentially since most colo facilities I’ve been to have cool air pumped in under the raised floor and return goes up.

    Also every colo I’ve been in has been pretty strict about hot aisle/cold management and keeping unused rack units blocked off.






  • They don’t do that, but they do send you a push when the fridge door is left open. Which has literally saved my bacon many times.

    But that doesn’t need a screen. Why you’d want a screen on your fridge, I don’t understand. It’ll clearly be slow and obsolete long before the rest of the fridge is.

    It’s the same thing in car infotainment systems. They’re the first thing to feel dated, and they are increasingly difficult to replace. But at least they give a ton of value from the screen.

    • admitted the issue immediately

    • reassured users as to actual scope of breach, probable risk

    • provided recommended actions for users who think they may be impacted.

    • explained best-practices (enough for a laymen’s audience) and how they limited scope and impact.

    • did not deflect blame

    My god…I’ve got to hand it to plex. This is the perfect incident response letter. Love 'em or hate 'em, this is a good example for other CISOs.
