Jack Daniel’s-Maker Suffers REvil Ransomware Breach:
The Jack Daniel’s-maker has released few details about the incident but claimed it successfully prevented attackers from encrypting its files.
“We are working closely with law enforcement, as well as world class third-party data security experts, to mitigate and resolve this situation as soon as possible,” it added in a brief statement. “There are no active negotiations.”
However, as is often the case, the attackers appear to have taken extra steps to force a ransom payment from the company. They told Bloomberg that 1TB of corporate data is now in their hands and it will most likely be leaked online in batches to turn up the pressure on the Louisville, Kentucky-headquartered firm.
The group apparently responsible for this attack is Sodinokibi (REvil), which, like Maze and other gangs, maintains a dedicated leak site to post stolen data on.

For you, is it worth it? I'm a homebrewer and I love making beer of all kinds because I love drinking beer of all kinds. I'm not a big spirits guy, but the thought of trying distilling is attractive to me on several levels. Besides needing to overcome the potential barrier of having to work up or acquire new equipment, it usually comes down to whether I would like to have 5 gallons of 5% beer, or 1/4 gallon of distilled spirit out of my brew day (which for the spirits, I guess, is two brew days), and I always come down on the 5 gallons of beer side.
I know when I bake bread or make beer, I end up with something that in most cases is better than what I can get in the store. Do you think that is true with distilling?

I was given a home still for my birthday several years ago, because I enjoy brewing, so the family assumed I would enjoy distilling also.
It can produce roughly 1.5 litres of raw spirit per batch, from 25 litres of mash. (Is that what its called? I can't remember). I use a kit, mostly for safety reasons, and the end product is entirely drinkable. If I want gin or tequila or vodka or whatever the brew shop will sell me flavoured additives which are fine.
I also don't drink an awful lot of spirits, so the cupboard is quite full, but if I want a cocktail, I can have one anytime which is nice.
Is the end result better than what I can buy? In the case of my "whisky" there is no way anyone is going to confuse it with single malt scotch, but it is drinkable.
Would I recommend taking up distillation? If you enjoy the process and don't might the initial outlay for the gear, then go for it, but Mr. Daniels and Mr. Beam probably won't be too worried about the competition.

Of course they aren't the same: They're substantially different styles, a la the difference between a stout and an IPA. What they definitely are are decent substitute goods for each other - they'll both burn your throat a bit on the way down, get you very drunk if you have a lot of it, and have a nice flavor if you actually taste it.
And I for one have a strong preference for scotch over American bourbon: I think the flavors are far more interesting.

The company that makes Jack Daniels doesn't deserve to exist, so I hope this kills them. Their entire existence is pure hypocrisy: the country their company is located in is a dry county, so it's completely illegal for them to sell their product in their own home county. Yet, this hypocritical county has been making tons of tax money from the company regardless, for decades. I'd love to see the company go under, and the county's economy utterly wrecked.

The county obviously doesn't want to go "wet", or they would have done so already. Clearly, the county is run by a bunch of religious loons who are also hypocrites, railing against the "evils" of alcohol just like the Prohibitionists a century ago, but this time perfectly happy to profit off it as long as it's a scourge happening to other people (they're the ones who think it's evil and a scourge, which is why it's a dry county). These same people probably publicly claim child pornography to be horrible (which I agree it is), but would happily profit off it if they could figure out a legal way to do so, despite the clear harm it does to minors involved in the sex trade.
