I personally believe this is a honeypot or trial of sorts. The reason could've been to determine whether or not the intrusion was detected at all as a sort of validation of just how "almost invisible" the malware is, or it co

Downvote with no explanation. Someone disagrees that these guys use zero-days? Not to mention some of which include jumping to kernel mode? 2011: CVE-2011-3402 2014: CVE-2014-4148 CVE-2014-6324 CVE-2015-2360

The Duqu attackers have got a ridiculous bag of zero-days at the ready.

I don't understand the product or companies well, however what you explain is exactly how I felt after reading their post. This kind of thing doesn't even need to be public, let alone posted on the company blog. Calling ADP out ab

Sure, if you quote the heading it's easy to pick apart, but read the contents of that section. He mentions "working smarter, not harder" and "no unnecessary logic" which are both hard to disagree with. Certainly we

Scary. It's easy to imagine how we go from here into the first major cyber conflict.

What I'm trying to say is that I don't think it furthers their goal. It isn't like some terrorist act occurred which would've been uncovered with Section 215 still active. This happened on their watch and under the so-

Funny particularly because I did not defend America. Not only did I not defend them, but I actually left open the possibility that they're lying— explicitly! And I suggested they might (hah!) be doing the same thing the Chinese alleg

So why not release it Monday/Tuesday? Thursday is sneakier?

It could boil down to having other intelligence fingering China, but the US doesn't want to expose and consequently draw attention to the source of the information. If the US doesn't have some 99.9999% assurance it was China and t

I'm not clear how the Patriot Act (if that's the "something" you mention) has anything to do with a state-sponsored advanced persistent threat. Can you explain?

I agree, in fact the author seemed to go out of their way to explain everything.

The voice recognition and speech parsing is incredible. Combining it with some calculations and interactivity is over the top!

And maybe you could sponsor my travels. I was simply pointing out that the audio could be better in case it would be a deal-breaker for others, or in case another source was available. Sometimes pointing out a problem is the first step to f

The way the video is shot is really awesome (first-person, timely changes, slow motion, etc)... even if he does look a bit goofy with the gopro strapped to his head like a mining light.

Frankly, I think we'd learn a lot more about non-blacks than we would about blacks from the data.

The presentation audio quality is really unfortunate, I'm interested in the subject but it sounds like I'm listening from another room.

This seems like a really convenient way to watch for front-end changes, but how do things like margins work? Will my whole page be red because everything has been shifted around or squished? Responsive capabilities will really improve usefu

Though bitcoin exchanges being hacked seem common, it sounds like this one did a good job with layered security. Though we don't know what the damages total is yet, at least it isn't a complete loss.

From your link: "Before Apache 2.4.7, the DH parameter is always set to 1024 bits and is not user configurable. This has been fixed in mod_ssl 2.4.7 that Red Hat has backported into their RHEL 6 Apache 2.2 distribution with httpd-2.2.

From the Nazi V-2 team to the US X-37 there is a long history of considerable inter-connectivity. Not just people but technology, manufacturing & testing methods, etc. It's a more significant than cross-pollination to me.
