I was wrong. This is NOT a leak of passwords from google accounts.
I checked my account on isleaked.com and it was NOT the google password, but the easily guessed password i use for accounts that I don't care about.
If your google password is unique, you're safe. If you reused it on low security sites... not so much.

Comment Re:And I have an 1000Mbps subscription in Romania (Score 1) 533

Yeah, this is where Eastern Europe laughs their ass off at the "developed" world :)
But it may be some kind of cycle. Today we're in front, but at some point even AT&T will be forced to upgrade their network, while our ISPs will fossilize and then *we* will be the ones behind. I'd say 30 years.

Comment Your company's fault actually (Score 3, Insightful) 129

... for not having contacted a local tech contractor with some english speaking skills that could help. Someone that comes in a couple hours now and then to solve any issues.
Remote tech support is all fine and dandy, but sometimes you do need (technically literate) hands and eyes on the ground. I've taken care of servers on a different continent - 99% of the time I just ssh-ed in. The 1% I've had someone local - and technical! - drive in with a laptop and help.

Let's translate the OP's question:
I have this insecure by design environment, while there are more secure by design environments available (yeah, probably not completely secure, but much more secure than what I'm using now). I'd like to patch my grossly insecure environment to get at least an illusion of security instead of considering the alternatives.

Comment Re:Self signed-certificate?? (Score 1) 141

But the client's browser is not likely to have the company's certificate as trusted, so they still have to accept an unknown certificate. Just not the device's, but the manufacturer's.
Do you think average joe would actually verify his printer's certificate for authenticity? :)
This is only likely to happen in a large corporate network.
