As far as I can tell, no. But their home broadband division is a spectacular mess of four quasi-autonomous networks acquired through mergers and buyouts, so your mileage may vary depending on which block you land upon. After all, it is real

The pictures are not bad, but the captions are incredibly cringe and condescending. Of course he would not bother to tell us how to disable the delete in the firmware. Seriously, I mean, thousands of people have gone on these state-sponsore

Vodafone New Zealand. They did not block port 53 per se, merely redirecting everything to their proxy. https://dnsleaktest.com/what-is-transparent-dns-proxy.html

Folks over in /r/sysadmin has been complaining for about a week. My understanding if that the upgrade will actually go through unless GPO explicitly prevents the upgrade[0]. And the EULA dialogue will only appear AFTER the install

It appears that this patch was bumped from recommended to important and ended up getting automatically installed. Even SME networks running WSUS were affected if they are configured to allow important patches by default.

Every week I receive emails with random letter J's inserted in the text. Took me a while to realise that Outlook is auto-converting them to the Wingdings smiley which corresponds to J in other fonts. The problem is that none of the ema

Honest Question: As an individual what incentives are there for me to run a full node? Currently the storage/bandwidth requirements are not outrageous, but high enough that they will cost $20-$50 depending on how many connections I all

The most extreme example I had come across is JRT(0) which will, by default and with no prompt, remove every program from Chinese developers including major public companies such as Tencent, Baidu and AliBaba. Thankfully it only deleted the

Thank you, this is exactly how I felt about the whole ordeal bitcoin has been. Satoshi did God's work getting people to accept, or at least become familiar with the ideas of cryptocurrency and blockchain. He seemed like an intelligent

I vaguely remember the days when people mined at home using their CPUs and people would write their own GPU miner and hoard them to get am edge. These days a long gone. ASIC miners have been great but they cannot scale indefinitely. Current

They can refuse to provide a signed driver for the platform, but like you said it is unclear how far they will go. Still better than Chrome endig support for Windows Vista this upcoming April...

Depends on the package used it may be possible to reprogram the UEFI chip in situ with test clips[1]. But of course one will still need to acquire a reprogrammer and a know good copy of firmware. [1] https://www.digikey.com/p

After a few attempts the OS would rate-limit guesses to prevent exactly that. On some iOS versions it is possible to override this mechanism by cutting power at the right moment[1] but this exploit has been patched for a while and I doubt t

The problem is that, more often than not when something related to Qihoo gets posted on HN the replies were invariably about how evil Qihoo is as a company. The discussion quickly becomes derailed and meaningless as the choir busily preach

This is pretty anecdotal and I doubt there will be a list of names written down somewhere. However have a look at the number of acknowledgements in Microsoft's security bulletins from last year: Palo Alto Networks - 34 Qihoo/360

A short validity period also helps to keep the size of revocation lists manageable as they expire sooner.

Like it or not, they do have a crack team of engineers. 90%+ of the Windows kernel hackers in China have worked, or still is with Qihoo.

Yes, that's a problem. If a company starts to ask for this sort of information I will refuse unless there are no alternatives. Trusting a CA to provide your private key is on another matter.

Your concern is well placed but the linked post really missed the point. Signing authorities in X509 don't have access to private keys and they don't really need domain owner's input to sign a MITM cert. Most software that us

Qihoo offers CDN and managed DNS services[1]. The choice is odd on StartSSL's part but may not be necessarily insidious. What more, not using their services does not enhance or harm your security in many meaningful way as long as they

People who are born in such a regime usually don't get a (easy) opt-out but I digress. My feelings towards AAPL was pretty mixed from day 1 and has changed surprisingly little over the past few years. I genuinely applaud their take on
