Check your autorenewal failure alerts go somewhere you'll react to.

Yeah, said that, or "you'll work on this as a contractor" as contracting isn't classed as being employed by the hirer in some countries. The confused language makes them look like they could give you tax and social security problems, which might deter some good people.

Effectively denying healthcare to ill people never killed anyone or spread sickness. /s

Would-be refugees awaiting decision are not given enough money to do that. They're not allowed to work either, even if the government is taking years to decide whether they're a refugee. It is a brutal process now.

Public transport is a county council duty. /s

Still, it's the pathetic weight distribution/positioning. Bad design. Unsafe at any speed.

Dublin isn't in the UK any more. They're sometimes a bit sensitive about that. Sadly, their motoring courts are about as pathetic, so I can see why you might not have realised.

Or, you know, we could have functioning public transport services instead of expecting people to drive or be driven almost everywhere.

Nah, commercial vehicles shouldn't be given greater freedom to kill bystanders. Limit 'em to 45kph and have to display a yellow flashing knob beacon.

The victim can report to the government local to the hackers, but that local government is under no real obligation to do anything about it.

And given this, why would most companies keep paying their defenders to hunt them down once the trail seems to end in a foreign country?

Defence is seen as a cost that reduces other costs, rather than something which will pay back, so I suspect it only happens if the company doesn't have other work for the defenders to do (rare) so they might as well work on this as be paid to do nothing, if they think the attackers may return so they want to learn as much as possible about them for future defence (depends on what they did and who they it seems they may be), or if the government where the company is based steps in to fund the hunt for some reason (maybe political).

Vibe coding at its finest? Maybe they were implemented by Copilot and it saw an opportunity to hurt a rival AI?
