No one thinks this is actually secure, it's security theater.

The thing is, the cost of identity theft of consumers to credit reporting companies is less than the cost to actually adopt secure methods to judge one's credit.

Gandi or GTFO, they're one of the few registrars that are fighting for the "good guys"

could it have gone into spam?

No it can't. We're literally talking about monitoring and capturing packets for data loss prevention, something that can't be done if the packets are encrypted.

There's a whole IT market segment around TLS decryption for corporate LAN. Basically corporate MITM that will decrypt TLS at the gateway / firewall, and with currently used TLS standards, will then re encrypt the traffic back to the client so the browser thinks it has a legit connection. It's used to scan packets for intrusion detection, for malware, to track for data loss like the article talks about.

There are orgs with thousands of corporate G Suite accounts. I mean if you are in the 10k or larger size, running your services internally might make sense but for the rest of us, G Suite should work well enough for corporate email.

How do we know that this isn't the case here and said hacker went after those records as well?

This all seems like an inside job and thus even offline backups are at risk if a disgruntled employee wanted to go after it.

It be really great if they allowed G Suite admins to have fine grained control over what is and isn't SPAM in their own domain. Alas even that's subject to consumer Gmail spam filters.

You'd think so, but no even internal G Suite emails that never leave the domain, still subject to GMail's generic all users spam filters. And even as a paying user, you can't get out of them.

They introduced more stringent controls around what constitutes spam.

Never gonna happen, the big G knows the best for all. Even G Suite business users have to deal with the lack of controls here, even if we whitelist our own domain, things can get flagged by the larger Gmail spam filters that G Suite users are still subject to.

I say that most sushi restaurants in N America go by using sushi grade fish that was probably processed by a fish monger, not the chef.

Aging fish really comes into play for high end sushi, where the chef is after some chemical reactions can only happen over time, it's not rot, it's more like it had time to rest and develop flavors that it would not have had if it was just straight from the fish right after it was caught.

I think the Peter principle, the idea that people are promoted to until they are incompetent in their roles, comes into play.

What worked for you to get to the job isn't necessarily going to work for you to succeed in the job, I agree with others saying that it's not a time management issue, it's a change in perspective that's require, you no longer have the ability to do everything for everyone, you now have to lead people you can trust to fulfill those tasks better than you could, as your responsibilities grow, the rest of your team doesn't stay static, they also grow with you.
