    But the situation had deteriorated from the first attack instead of things improving. AlphV posted an update about negotiations breaking down, and BlackCat re-encrypting them.

    A recent report by Europe's cybersecurity agency ENISA also showed the energy sector ranked below sectors like transport, health care, banking and the wider ICT sector in terms of what IT spending went into cybersecurity.

    As proof, NoEscape provided a filetree and screenshots. The filetree listed numerous files related to facilities and other internal documents, including files whose names appeared to relate to former and current providers and personnel. Some filenames suggested they would contain confidential information including disciplinary actions and terminations as well as Family Medical Leave Ac [12:02] schestowitz t (FMLA) documentation for employees.

    .
    In only 4% of the cases opponents filed in opposition documents that were truly not available in EPOs search files. After appeal in opposition only 20% of patents survive untouched. 47% are revoked and 33% are maintained in amended [22:53] schestowitz form, i.e. with a limited scope.

    The quality of the decisions of the opposition divisions also leaves a lot to be desired. Nearly 60% of those are set aside by the boards. This happens in spite of the creation of directorates specialised in opposition.

    The figures above result from looking at more than 1000 published decisions of the boards of appeal in 2023.

    Although opposition cannot be used direct [22:53] schestowitz ly as a general quality criterion, the decisions of the boards of appeal after opposition give a good idea of what the situation could be with patents that have not been opposed.

    It is for good reasons that the IPQC complains about the quality of the work delivered by the EPO. See the interview of the head of the IPQC in another blog.
