Flash is evil and should be destroyed, I agree. But this story is about how researchers did something cool with flash to detect forged SSL certs.
In this one case Flash isn't the security issue, it's the useful software helping to find the security issue.
Why didn't they put some kind of cover over the exhaust port? They could build a spaceship the size of a moon but they couldn't build something to stop missiles flying up the dam exhaust pipe.
They are not investigating Bitcoin as a threat.They are investigating how crypto-currencies can be used to finance terrorism.
Because the US government doesn't have enough ways of supporting terrorism as it is?
Well, our (US) government seems to think every American citizen is a terrorist, so why couldn't a non-existant thing also be a terrorist?
The US government has really lost the plot by calling math a terrorist threat. No wonder China is on course to become the world's biggest economy.
It's always been easy enough to transport large amounts of diamonds. Yet the US government hasn't declared diamonds a terrorist threat yet.
I think the US government just went off the deep end.
They class everything as either a terrorist threat or an enemy combatant.
What's their next trick? A war on breakfast cereals? Drone strikes against the color blue?
How about using the reflections plugin? It will at least tell you the SSL cert isn't the expected one.
Your approach of simply not using the compromised computer is of course the most secure.
What your country is fighting for all over the world isn't freedom.
So they will shot his dog then go to the address he gave.
In a two party system the two parties work in alliance to ensure they collectively control all political power.
In practice voting Republican is exactly the same as voting Democrat.
Godwin's law exists especially for morons like you. Has anyone here been forcibly removed from their home, their friends, and their family, stuffed into a boxcar, shipped to a concentration camp to starve for a while before being used for medical research or shot or gassed?
Not yet. But don't think it could never happen, exactly that has happened in other countries in the past. The US government has built concentration camps all over the country. They are currently staffed and look ready to be used right now but no-one ever got an answer on why they were built or who they are intended to hold. These places are not part of the prison system but something else entirely.
If you want to scare the hell out of yourself google "FEMA concentration camps". You likely won't believe a word of it so drive out there and look at the inward facing barbed wire and the train systems for mass transport for yourself.
The problem there is context. If you are told by an authoritarian figure that something is funny and forced to watch it against your will you are not going to find it funny.
Political Science eh? They really pay you not just to be this stupid but to teach others your stupidity?
You should win a stupid comment award. How many Republicans do you think there are in the UK? Maybe a few visiting tourists.
Trying to drag party politics into this is just brain dead.
HOA?
I find burying these people with more requests than they can handle causes them to back off.
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
