Well, as long as they're putting in some serious effort and not just indulging in a nostalgic trip down memory lane to their glory days of school sports, we're good!

One was unaware there was a Red Team!

How many other teams with colour coding are there?

"Don’t let cybersecurity become an afterthought this holiday season"

Cybersecurity is for life, not just for Christmas.

Happy Christmas everybody

*****galore,

indeed, it has been a tumultuous journey for some, yet undeniably intriguing. fortunately, my overall average remains relatively good, allowing me to adopt a long-term perspective. i've secured some profits at previous peaks, providing a measure of satisfaction. similar to your experience, i was involved in rr, exiting far too early - but still, a profit is a profit. i have a position in itv, but no joy there yet! as for dt, i’m optimistically anticipating positive developments in the near future, though i acknowledge it might be wishful thinking.

Analyst’s Take

The cybersecurity segment is doing well, with nearly every publicly traded cybersecurity company showing growth.

Are you sure you’re not getting a little bit obsessive, Tom?

Just a small selection of extracts from your previous posts – there are more but hey - who’s got time, eh?:

‘lazy Dame’

‘The Schofield report will be the nail in her coffin.’

‘Daitch the clueless Dame before it is too late.’

‘The only thing holding everyone back has been Dame Milquetoast McCall.’

‘Ditch the dead weight Dame.’

‘Any day now Janus. I cannot imagine the Dame will last into 2024.’

‘Did somebody hear that the Dame is preparing her resignation speech?’

‘...then you have piers morgan. hired by itv in 2015. kept on by the dame for ratings. photographed with every paedophile and groomer under the sun. he was someone who most likely knew of savile whilst he worked for the mirror group but failed to publish. close to max clifford.’

‘A few trouble makers that the 3.5million a year Dame just let carry on bullying and harassing…’

‘Please exercise caution. Schofield enquiry will report back in October at the earliest and we may get a bounce if Dame Milquetoast goes.’

‘So you ITV faithful may get an extra reason to cheer at Christmas this year when the Share Price hits £1 and the Dame will be appearing at Hemel Hempstead theatre in Beauty and the Beast.’

========================================================

Tom, it's hard to ignore the obvious connection between your current situation and what we all perceive to be past financial mistakes. Your online history appears to resemble a stalker's dossier. Allowing this bitterness to linger will only lead to your own destruction if you let it persist. Your collection of posts is filled with derogatory twists aimed at blaming the CEO.

Seeking professional help might be beneficial, especially if you're still grappling with the consequences of past financial missteps that seem to haunt you.

Tom, the sooner you seek assistance, the more favourable it'll be for you. I have no desire to endure this nonsense every day leading up to the festive season. So, Merry Christmas, and farewell, old son.

Omalley,

Different viewpoints are all well and good, but the routine barrage of almost misogynistic remarks about the CEO isn't just boring; it's like a suspicious attempt to rain on the parade of positivity. You can label it cancel culture if you'd like, one is not bothered, I prefer to think of it as pest control.

Considering Janus1's previous message emphasising that these forums should focus on sharing insightful information and maintaining respect for diverse opinions, it's disheartening that there are individuals who, when not the focal point, may experience feelings of inadequacy. However, there's a solution – don't fret. A filter button is available on this page, allowing you to mute those bothersome individuals. It can be quite gratifying; I fondly refer to it as the 'tomfoolery' button.

ITVX is one year old tomorrow - happy birthday.

A good writeup, by Chris Newbould, on how it's been panning out is available here:

The world of combining expertise in market research is a long way from Wimbledon and an infinity away from tomfoolery.

ITV plans to enhance its insight capabilities, focusing on cross-platform audience understanding and advanced predictive analytics. By creating a dedicated insights team, ITV aims to embed data-driven decision-making at the core of its operations. This can lead to more informed and strategic business decisions, as decisions will be based on a deeper understanding of the market, audience, and media landscape. With an audience-centric Approach, the focus on generating audience-centric insights suggests that ITV is prioritising understanding its viewers' preferences and behaviors. This can help tailor content, advertising, and overall strategies to better meet the needs and expectations of the audience.

The incorporation of advanced predictive analytics can provide ITV with the ability to anticipate trends and viewer behaviors. This proactive approach can be beneficial in creating content that resonates with audiences and staying ahead of industry shifts. Responding to the increased demand for business intelligence and insights aligns with the broader trend in the industry. Companies that can effectively leverage data to drive decision-making are often better positioned for success in a competitive landscape.

While these are potential positives, the success of this move will depend on the execution of the insights team's strategies and the ability to translate data into actionable insights that positively impact ITV's business outcomes. Additionally, ongoing adaptation to industry changes and technological advancements will be crucial for long-term success.

Cyber crime scam kits are now available to all:

Fascinating, especially considering The Sun typically focuses on sensationalism, budget vacations, and self-help gimmicks. Personally, I wouldn't expect to find something noteworthy there. Good observation on your part!, even if scraping the bottom of the barrel.

No silence here old son, one was the first to post today.

You on the other hand tend to go stum, on average ,just after results. Usually one has your various Tom suffixes on filter - I see it's now time to revisit the tweaks, just for you.

No, I missed that too!

Good post.

ITV is punching above it's weight.

Martin Lewis tested:

'Thanks to all 2.7m people who watched @itvmlshow last night, a whopping 21.7% share of the available audience, best so far, easily winning the slot (most watched TV at that time).

It was such an important show last night, delighted to get the message to so many people (and far more 18-34 viewers than normal too). If you missed it you can watch it back on itv.com/watch/the-mart…

The team and I are delighted you give us your eyeballs. Hope it pays to watch.'

ITVX provides access to a fairly decent amount of content for a bargain price. It should be the go-to for many in these difficult times. In my opinion it all bodes well.

Disney does its bit to boost inflation by raising the price of Disney+ streaming channel for many subscribers by 37.5% - from £7.99 a month to £10.99 - from today (6 December).

Many will ditch it.

Clued,

Bravo to their boundless wisdom in embracing frugality! Clearly, their insatiable greed knows no bounds, and who would have thought that cutting corners might lead to consequences eh? It's not like they could have foreseen the current debacle if they had just exercised a bit of caution. But, of course, expecting a law firm to be cyber security experts is like expecting a fish to ride a bicycle. The real culprit here is the illustrious IT services provider they so wisely chose to safeguard their operations. A round of applause for their impeccable decision-making!

One suspects the individuals caught up in this arn't clapping!

Individuals who fall prey to burglaries often promptly take action by installing burglar alarms and enhancing the security of their locks.

‘Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted’

Similarly, until legislated mandatory minimum cybersecurity measures are enacted, the sales of cybersecurity products will, regrettably, continue to be driven by the lack of awareness or prudence.

RE: Law firms cyber-incident

Paul Lewis, the host of BBC Radio 4 Money Box, disclosed that the IT services provider for law firms is ‘now’ receiving assistance from a leading cybersecurity firm to investigate the incident and determine appropriate measures.

Didn't take much trashing, did it?

The demogog's reputation and the economic vandalism he was part of goes before him!

Apologies, meant to say 'Duncoding'

Exactly, dincodinhg, thank you sir.

If someone places a question mark at the end of a sentence it generally means they are asking you a question.

i.e 'They aren't connected with Darktrace are they ?'
