I don't care about my location information, I don't use social networks. I care about the content of my private communications w/ other people. Including in-person conversations.

Ah, well if its an advertised feature it isn't like you weren't informed. I was thinking you thought it was something shady they snuck in w/o your knowledge.

I'd say this is a case of non-technical people being told by coworkers the "issue was fixed and the patch is public" on April 8th [after OpenSSL patches it] and confuses it with his coworkers creating the solution. I'm j

They use 128bits of a SHA-1 key in 2014. I'd say its pretty clear their security is a gimmick only. https://konklone.com/post/why-google-is-hurrying-the-web-to-... From the contest: "This can happen if a secu

Yep. Unless there is a bug in the bot or their implementation isn't as described, no one will crack it so its a very safe bet for them. This contest basically admits its crackable for more than $300k as well. They even reduced the numb

Under the rules of the challenge, that isn't possible since the "clients" aren't real and its just a bot they wrote. :P All you are getting is the over-the-wire exchanges which makes it kinda a joke. The part that is act

You count the length of the array. You create the tuple with the appropriate number of ?'s. You then bind parameters. No user input involved.

No, it doesn't. PHP can handle it fine and we've undergone multiple attacks and security audits [both daily automated ones and professionals by hand]. :/ The problem here was a mistake someone made, not a fundamental support

You can write a function for it using ?'s being generated inside your code only. Its perfectly safe to do it that want and allows you to bind parameters. The only explanation for not doing that is ignorance and/or incompetence. Mi
