That link at the bottom of the email states that they unsubscribe you from the mailing list. Odd how I always seem to get more spam, but from different companies, after I click one. Almost as though all I've done is confirm that the

The second party in this instance is the organisation, including the user. The enterprise owns the pipe, the router, the endpoint device, the chair the user sits on, and the time being used by the employee while they are not on a break. The

As a purely leisure traveler, I can't see why anybody would put themselves through the US border system as the start of their holiday. Talk about starting on a downer.

The UK already refuses to extradite for criminal proceedings where the death penalty is a possibility. It must specifically be denied as an option for sentence prior to extradition being arranged. Having said that, what I've heard abou

Good god... I just Google'd the IWW. Their website looks, at a glance, like a militant extreme left group. From the hard white-and-red on black colour scheme through to a photo of two people in fatigues carrying AK-style weapons next t

More like time to ditch the Dutch endpoints. See how PIA reacted to similar legislation in the UK: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2016/12/private-i... Pretty soon we'll need endpoints on the

Hire a lawyer with a "dead man" instruction to instigate such action if he's not informed otherwise within 48 hours. Keep money for legal fees in escrow for that purpose. Shouldn't be difficult to set up.

Do you have a job or family? How long would the former keep you employed? How long would the latter last without your support? Could you afford legal fees without employment? It's cool to say these things, but the system is weighted ag

You'd also need to create new accounts for all your services each time, or any basic logging of access will trivially link your SIM, data provider's IP, your VPN, and your endpoint services. You only need to mess up once and your

You don't think they give up after one try, do you? Look as us Brits with the IP Bill (Snooper's Charter). May tried to push it through a couple of years ago as Home Secretary and the public backlash stopped her. Four months after

One possible threat here could be access being gained another way (court-order to provide text key), then with the device unlock key known being required to try each finger in sequence to identify if you provided a genuine try to unlock the

My iPhone forces password entry after 5 failed attempts at TouchID unlock. If you can quickly thumb the sensor a few times, you can render fingerprint unlock impossible. Better to disable anyway, but it's an option.

Do you ask for personal information as part of your signup process? First name, last name, email address etc? If you don't encrypt the data or take basic precautions against unauthorised access you're likely breaking Data Protecti

Bin them. Bin Amazon Prime too. Be sure to tell them why you're doing it. Cable was originally advert-free. It was slipped in gradually over time. They got away with it because people put up with it and didn't call foul and stop s

How often do you upgrade or purchase a new Apple device? Once per year? I'll take one instance of setting up permissions for stock apps (Many of which I don't use) over granting them unfettered access to my data and device servic

This exploit is not in the original Signal protocol, and was introduced by WhatsApp. Signal discards undelivered messages when the encryption key changes, WhatsApp implemented re-transmission because they think it improves usability. It doe
