Terrible planning of legacy systems (and some current ones) from people who never gave any thought to security is how we got here. The value is usually negligible.

This is useless info without the code. If you want to tell Uber about the bug, just do so directly.

As a temporary workaround, consider connecting your IoT devices to a WiFi router that isn't connected to the Internet.

The article has been been silently edited since original posting time. I just checked the version I read in the morning and indeed, it never said anything about salting. The original quote is: >The reason you’re reading this blog post is

I agree with the premise. Though, there's one more issue/potential reason not to endorse people using the clipboard for passwords, and it's not that malware will grab them from the clipboard. It's that many non-malicious

Are the hashed passwords salted? If not, then the claim that the "password cannot be converted/decrypted back to plain text" is not defensible. Either way, including such an unclear statement in a security notice is troubling

Not necessarily. I appreciate the values for which Mozilla stands, and those values are entrenched in their products.

One might care where the patches come from as a volunteer community could be less reliable over time than the paid Mozilla staff. I know I certainly feel that way.

That's a good point. You can get around Tel Aviv while only speaking English, but perhaps not so much in the north.

Yikes. Airbnb really needs to deal with abuses such as those. That's just not fair for customers. I'm interested about why you mention not speaking any Semitic languages. English is pretty-well universally understood there - did y
