Oh, hey, how about a Senate hearing? That will convince that crazy Kim nork that it's gone.

Of course they can.
Most of the dissidents in this country are well known and tracked as closely as if they had implanted GPS transmitters.
The same people show up at every protest, get arrested and let go by every city they visit by liberal judges. A phone call from Washington, a hint of a under cover arrangement, and a get out of jail free card.
Dozens if not hundreds of arrests, and they just walk.
Why? The Feds get more information from them running around loose than they would if they were in jail.
What computer related site would not carry Free articles from Krebs hosted on their own site?
Agreed. But the rush to judgement is already in full swing. Camers, DVRs and routers. Oh my! Don't you dare mention Windows!!
As far as I'm concerned there isn't a shred of evidence that this was IOT based.
Google would be the first with a cloud offering, encryption integration points, and an enterprise encrypted document play that could be federated. The fear is, as some other posters noted, will Google commit to this or just do it for 2 years and then dump the whole thing?
If it has a revenue stream, (paying customers - not advertising) they probably won't dump it.
If it's not Client Side encryption, it's not encrypted.
Look, every small town in the US has a Friends of the Library that collects and recycles used book. We could relieve them of their unsold inventory, load them into C5 Cargo planes and air drop them into every little village. When the book sellers complain, back a dump truck up and bury them in free books to sell.
The price would drop. Our land fills would thank us.
Bitching about it in the press us hardly something to praise. To paraphrase Stalin, "how many divisions does the press have?"
You get beat, you go back and clean up your act, plug the holes, and thank your lucky stars you didn't have to learn that lesson in wartime.
Apparently it's some apologism for Windows 10, but an unbelievably poor one.
Look, anything from Ed Bott will always be along those lines. Ed Bott doesn't actually exist. His computer is has a direct link from Microsoft's PR department which submits all his stories. Oh, sure there is this guy who shows up at the office once in a while. But his salary is mysteriously paid via an obscure credit to ZDNet bank account, he's long ago forgotten his real name, he plays Microsoft Solitaire all day, then drives home to an empty house, watches MSNBC all evening and gets up and does it all again tomorrow. One of these days he will be reprogrammed, but today is not that day, and so the story remains the same from Ed, decade after fawning decade.
Sure, traffic is probably encrypted, but since your system is encrypting it, surely there's a way to discover the keys and find out exactly what data is being sent.
I personally don't have either the time nor the kernel hacking skills to pull it off, but I'm sure somebody could.
Son, take a few minutes to learn how encryption actually works so you don't embarrass yourself on the internet, mkay?
That would be a stupid thing to do, as the code remains in the machine.
The codes are meant to be used as passwords for apps.
And what would you use them for without an internet connection?
No you can't.
Authenticator runs on a phone or tablet. Without internet you can't even set it up. Without perfect clock sync the codes generated by authenticator stop working.
The codes generated by authenticator have a very short shelf life, measured in seconds.
Or just use the same standard Google and a lot of other people use which doesn't use text messages or even require a phone number or internet access at all.
Wait, I missed something here. Exactly what does Google provide that doesn't require a phone or internet access at all?
Searching to see if there are more terrorists engaged in a coordinated attack? Seems like a reasonable and responsible thing to do.
I, and at least 12,000 others was listening on police band (over the internet from 3 states away), and was able to watch on TV while listening to the scanner traffic, both apparently delayed by nearly the same amount.
On the scanner, several police units reported being "slow rolled by a car full of long beards". There were several different incidents of this with words to the same effect, "watching us closely", "seem way too interested", etc.
They even passed these car descriptions and plate numbers to others to be followed, but that was before the two terrorists were engaged in a rolling fire fight, and killed, and everybody seemed to focus on that.
So its clear the police believed at the time there were others (long beards) surveilling them. And it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for that to happen. Even the Paris attacker had returned to the scene to watch.
Ok, so the radio plane was flying around 2:30 PM (14:30) local time, very soon after the event. An attack is still in progress, for all they know. Can't think of a single reason to complain about this, other than that you know they practice and train for it SOMEWHERE.
