Is your network blinking "12:00"?
This is for people who run a network and need to be able to troubleshoot a breakin.
It's vital to do one of the most boring things imaginable, which is to make sure all the clocks on your network are set correctly. You need to be able to know what order things happened in and what things happened at the same time. You can only do that if all the clocks agree.
