    This is an article I recently referenced on IJ in another article’s comment page. False info spread by Climate Hoaxers was the motive for my reference to the list, which indicates wildfires are more worrisome than Climate Change to GLOBAL insurance pros / risk managers.

    I am not surprised to see Cyber Crime as the top concern of risk managers. And, I am glad that IJ implemented software a few years ago to block the use of BOTs in their comments pages, to combat cyber-criminals and cyber-censors who were trying to censor comments with which they disagree politically. The IJ is a relatively safer place for it.

    Surprisingly, marIJuana, featured in dozens of 2019 articles on IJ, is nowhere to be found on the top 10 list. However, I believe it falls into item #5 as an old ‘new (sic) development’.

      Can you ever just talk about insurance without turning things into your conservative conspiratorial ramblings? It seems to be all you do these days, other than whining about how I turn everything into a political conversation. Since you said the other day it was okay to call Rosenblatt a troll because in your opinion he was a troll, that means it’s okay for me to call you a hypocrite because by the dictionary definition you are a hypocrite, right?

      I’m not surprised to see Cyber Crime as a top concern either! The difference is, you seem to be clueless about how the internet actually works bud. There is 0% chance that IJ implemented software to “block the use of BOTs” in their comments pages, because no one was using BOTs. Cyber criminals would have zero interest in downvoting your posts, they have better things to do, like holding hospitals ransom or phishing corporate accounts.

      There are very real concerns in the cyber landscape right now for our clients, but what doesn’t help our clients is geezers like you who don’t seem to understand the threat looming. If someone skilled wants to hack you, there is nothing you can do. If the right outfit of hackers want to own your business, your business is getting owned. These kinds of attacks happen every day and most small businesses cannot afford the kind of IT department that can really stop a major cybercriminal organization.

      Can you actually talk about insurance for once instead of spreading your right-wing propaganda?

      Just for reference, here are some things hackers actually are doing:

      nytimes.com/2020/01/10/us/politics/russia-hacking-disinformation-election.html

      But please, tell me how every news source (including ones from outside of the US) are all liberal socialists. Or, you just can’t admit that you’re wrong, again.
