presumably through a backdoor or brute force.
I doubt there is a backdoor because if there was then it wouldn't take them so long. Probably brute-force.
Can you post the IP adress it resolves to?
I've seen the same as well. Suppose I'd register with abcdefg@mydomain.org, my catchall would receive mail addressed to bcdefg, abcde, cdef, and so forth. It's really hard to deal with those kind of spammers.
Why redirect the traffic at all? Why not just use a key logger and grab credentials that way?
Because a keylogger would alert anti-virus Software, while a PAC script wouldn't.
+1 because the math is easy: 99.9% of all Malware lives on Windows, hence more Macs means less Malware.
Why can't the larger companies, e.g. Microsoft and Oracle, respond to and fix the sucrity issues more quickly than on a timeline expressed in months?
They probably had a fix in the drawer since months but didn't release it in order to give the impression to be able to react quickly once the vuln is public. This makes the company look good to consumers and the press, and it pads statistics that measure reaction time to vulnerabilities. Everyone is doing it. Publicity first, consumer last.
This is funny. On my iPad, I can watch the movie. On my Mac with Safari, it Slashdot tells me I need to install Flash. When I set the User Agent in Safari to iPad, I can watch the movie without Flash.
Why is Slashdot lying and tries to force users to install Flash?
Can I call my new operating system "Windows" ? Or maybe "My Windows" ?
But the orientation of the polarization is unknown. It could be adjusted by the pilot but wouldn't prevent an initial surprise effect. It is practically useless.
Lasers emit monochromatic light, hence it shouldn't be too hard to block just the few small wavelength bands that common lasers use while letting the rest of the light pass through the cockpit wind shields.
+1
