If the previous breaches are of any indication, it's that users don't give a shit - many major websites have leaked passwords ( https://haveibeenpwned.com/PwnedWebsites ) and they're still alive and kicking; fo

It would be nice if they forced a password reset for all affected users and submitted the old passwords to the Pwned Passwords list. I have trouble believing no passwords have been misused by insiders - sure, there wasn't any large-s

Is there any evidence of any wrongdoing here? His access to personal information is absolutely normal given his job title and frankly, I’m surprised that the other person feels unsafe after hearing this despite the fact she’s apparently a s

Seems like anyone with access to the mesh has the keys to decrypt anyone's traffic, but it's still encrypted from an outsider's point of view.

Point to point wireless links can definitely be used as long as you’ve got line of sight between the endpoints.

The radio link is still encrypted so an attacker won’t get much out of it. In fact, it’s a lot easier to tap a cable, DSL or fiber line (which operate without any encryption unless you put IPSec on top manually) than a mesh link which would

Only for Pixel phones bought unlocked . This doesn’t apply to most people that buy (or rather are coaxed into buying by the salesperson) whatever Samsung or Huawei device from a carrier.

Electron = no thanks. I might as well use my provider’s web interface then.

iPhone SE, or previous models are definitely affordable, and it seems like a good investment considering these devices are supported for 4 years on average, so on a 2 year-old second-hand device you’ll still get 2 years more of security upd

Yep, I laughed when the only response on that forum thread was “take it to the Apple Store”. I doubt anyone in there would even know how much voltage should an USB port deliver. I guess he can prove his point by asking the Apple people to p

On some MacBooks it’s common for the CPU to get charger voltage (instead of the usual 1V or so) if the CPU power transistors are damaged (often due to liquid).

Is a scandal a huge issue? Despite the recent #DeleteFacebook and everything, Facebook wasn't really impacted all that much and is still making tons of profit even without the 1% of users who did delete it. A future hypothetical scanda

They are loosing market share more and more and yet they go on with this stupidity. Part of the market share loss is average users switching to Chrome - they can't do much about that, but the power users group is (or was) Mozilla'

Hardware. That’s the keyword, and it might very well be true. Tesla doesn’t claim their software is capable of full self-driving yet and in fact the system will scream at you and stop the car if you take your hands off the steering wheel

I try not to be an asshole with user’s data and it worked out great for me even before GDPR. I haven’t actually read the regulation and couldn’t care less if I comply (I’m sure there is like 10% of it that I might not comply with), but my p

It’s a sign of trouble, but I’m not sure it’s really “further” trouble, all it takes is for them to get a cert from Let’s Encrypt and call it a day. I’m surprised they weren’t using LE to begin with actually - since LE is available, why wou

Disagreed. There are quirks, but it’s otherwise good and light years ahead from Linux or even Windows 8+.

But technically it’s just as insecure, if not more - email has opportunistic encryption, fax doesn’t.

I’ve got mixed opinions about this. On one hand, I want this “direct selling” (more like direct scamming) industry to die in a fire. On the other hand, if the above happened, there will no longer be a way for financial “natural selection” t

Chip transactions are indeed a huge signal - a chip transaction can’t be faked due to strong cryptography. Granted, the card can still be stolen, but it’s rare enough that most banks let it though.

NAT breaks the original design of the internet where every endpoint should be reachable from anywhere. Try using protocols that rely on this (like SIP) and see how far you go.

Nothing surprising here. The "electronic lock" (and fire/burglar alarm) market is full of snake-oil salesmen and incompetent people who sell the stuff assuring you it's secure without actually having tested it. With conv
