It happens all the time, especially in security and quality assurance testing. It's less common in modern versions of tools and frameworks, but I routinely encounter these kinds of dumps when I am doing security testing work on anythi

Are you really equating someone choosing to remain at a job where they work with assholes to slavery? Not everyone has the economic freedom or mobility to simply leave a job. Jobs and orgs change over time, so you can go to work one day an

Yes I would mind, but only because I stopped maintaining a list when I stopped working for a browser vendor (Mozilla) and an organization that has an intercepting proxy as a part of it's core product(OpenDNS). It's not a hard expe

AFAIK just ProtonVPN right now, but I haven't worked at Mozilla in almost 5 years. Tweet @MozillaSecurity and they will probably point you in the right direction, most of them are super helpful!

Why does it blow your mind? Knowing that would require a fair amount of domain specific knowledge regarding corporate finance, and trading regulations which are a niche topic for the vast majority of folks. Not to mention, securities regul

I agree with the first line - with the proviso that there are (IMO) trustworthy third parties that have vetted some VPNs (for example, Mozilla's partnership). I also agree that E2E could resolve a number of issues, but I don't thi

I am not arguing the importance of backups, but tbh, simple is not a fair statement. At the very least, if you have backups, you might have the ability to rebuild/redeploy, but for any non-trivial system, without a comprehensive DR p

Because anything that impacts availability will result in piracy. If users can't or won't be able to afford it, they will pirate it. This cna be tempered with pricing strategies. If it can't be purchased, people will pirate
