IT should be responsible if given sufficient resources and latitude to implement security measures. The problem is that that is not always the case. Many times one of those is lacking and that is the responsibility of the executives.
The problem with that argument is that there are a ton of people in the White House who are NOT the President. None of this applies to them. It only applies to the President. Congress can certainly enact laws that govern what members of the White House staff can and cannot do.
I find these comments to be utterly stupid. Have you ever worked anywhere before? Can you possibly imagine non-engineers trying to use IRC for a collaboration tool? Even engineers can find the easy to use interface helpful. Look. I love IRC. I even ran an IRC server for a couple of years but insisting it is enough for most people is nonsense or people would have been using it in the office for collaboration for decades and it would be entrenched by now. There is a reason Slack and its competitors have blown up in recent years. It is a necessary niche. Now we are just waiting to see someone perfect the idea.
Wow. This is exactly the type of attitude that leads to serious data breaches. Not using secure tools for collaboration is increasingly becoming a regulatory risk as well. I need this security for my job and believe it or not most other people do too even if it is just to comply with regulations but also because breaches on smaller companies is becoming more and more common. Just leaking some personal information of one person can be enough to trigger notification laws in some states.
Skype for Business? I don't know about regular Skype but Skype for Business is a Tier D service compliance application, meaning it has the highest levels of encryption and compliance that Microsoft offers for online offerings. Your management is simply misinformed.
Teams is actually pretty nice for me. It's different than just a chat app. It is a great tool for collaboration. I am currently trying it out for a few projects where I have to work with a few different people and am loving it. I like being able to assign ToDo lists, integration with OneNote (which everyone on my team uses) and of course the Microsoft Office integration. Combine that with audio/video meetings and screen sharing and it pretty much solved all of our issues with missing software.
So for example we had a kickoff meeting for a project we are working on for a client. I take notes with the OneNote component and everyone on my Team can see it right away. Then someone on my team can start a conversation based on the notes. Maybe I missed something or they need something clarified. We requested some docs from the client. I can upload them into Teams for everyone to access. I also needed to create some procedural documents. I can do that right from within teams or launch Word externally to do it. I could split up the workload and create separate tasks or lists for people on my team to tackle. I just started using it and have only scratched the service but it is exactly what I was looking for. We were doing most of this stuff already but with disparate software and no easy way to correlate all the necessary documents and information to its own channel.
It's not entertaining anymore. Trump is a one-trick pony and his trick has worn thin at this point. Narcissistic man-child is only entertaining in small doses and we ODed a long time ago.
Again. This is nothing. She and her aides WERE the State Department at the time. Of course her input was needed. It's amazing how people make so much about boring everyday shit with the Hillary but completely ignore the horrible or completely stupid things every other Presidential candidate has said. She gets shit on for doing her job, or being a politician, or being upset she was cheated on. All normal shit. None of the other candidates know shit about foreign policy in a very delicate time internationally. Trump is a narcissistic sexual assault machine who makes the average bro blush. Johnson is an airhead that looks like a deer in headlights whenever he is interviewed. Jill Stein is an anti-vaxxer, need I say more? How is this even a decision to be made? One person running for President is qualified. I'm sorry you don't lover her but the others are just a complete disaster.
Except Putin is a former KGB agent who has been coalescing power for more than a decade. This is not the same situation and treating it as such is naive.
1. Take power away from and even punish the free press.
2. Allow more countries to have nuclear weapons
3. Cede Eastern Europe to Russia
4. Punish women for having abortions
5. Contest the election when he loses
6. Try to force our ally to fund building a ridiculous wall between our countries
No one who reads Slashdot should be supporting Trump. This is news for nerds, not news for rubes.
You ACs are real dopes. There is mounting evidence uncovered by private firms that corroborate what the FBI is claiming. It was a pretty unprecedented move to declare Russia as being behind the hacks and wouldn't do so if they didn't have solid evidence.
And if they still end up hacking them? It makes Russia look real bad that it was telegraphed and they could do nothing about it. The fact is the hack probably already happened and this is just to make Putin nervous.

You sound like a horrible human being that would get hit by a bus tomorrow if karma existed.
Older men also have a higher incidence of Autism in their offspring so that means you have to limit men as well.
This is not true in any way. There are no known links. Stop spreading uninformed bullshit.
At least Satan would more competent than the fool currently occupying the White House.
One is a non-profit helping people around the world. The other is a for profit helping the President's daughter. How are you blind to this difference?

I'm not sure why you think that would require a constitutional amendment.
How did that work out for him? Not so good.
So pretty much in line with most stories about "hacking". Accessing a system that has a blank password is considered hacking to the media.
I am using Teams and it is actually pretty nice.
Companies became huge before computers. Should we just get rid of computers?

Teams cannot spy on you. Office 365 is one of the highest levels of security compliance of any online tools.

Because this is exactly how this DOESN'T work. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Read the docs before spreading bullshit.
