Chief Information Security Officer at Fulton County Georgia government
Cybersecurity, Information Technology
“There were no requests to I.T. this clown says.. but what happened when I send my request to the Chief Information Security Officer? The video link is the video posted below which destroys their claim of a cyber attack. It’s more of an idiot attack!
Turns out the issue with the network was their own ignorant dealings. This video was stripped from YT after I exposed the things Slaten says in this video, posted Nov 2023.
I requested server logs to find out if there was ever a “cyber attack” Here is how that went.. and here is a very detailed page with the PDF of all of the communication.
Deeper dive into the server log request
This is the most insane request ever!!
FULTON COUNTY Georgia Open Records violations
I am wanting the summary of the scope of the cyber attack that took place Jan 2024. You stated in a video it was internal permissions and employees had access they should not have. It is all internal, so which is it, a internal permissions issue or a cyber attack?
A Varonis risk assessment helped this org get their data under control

That video was published Nov 2023.
