There was a good talk at Defcon about those networks. They can't afford to run any security, even as an afterthought and they are completely open with nothing but a dust-thin layer of obscurity covering them. All in the name of the dollar.

Sudden outbreak of IT'S A TRAP!

It's only sexist because we allow it to be. If we got rid of the social stigmas behind the human body and embraced a more open and understanding concept of what is expected of both men and women in regard to sexual scenarios then we could probably work this out to a much more beneficial outcome. Sex sells. Instead of trying to make this into something negative and arguing about how horrible it is to objectify women, we should be trying to figure out why we do it in the first place and whether or not it's really even an issue. For all we know we could be midway through an evolutionary cycle meant to naturally limit our population. Just knee-jerk labeling stuff as bad and forcing our will upon society to adopt our views could very well destroy us as a race.

We've been preaching for years that physical access is an end game situation. Nothing new, and no I do not think this will help drive the point home any more thoroughly. Leaders (of both the political and corporate variety) will go on believing themselves safe because of elaborate and seemingly secure security implementations that fail because they gave data center keys to the janitor.

But first he stopped to log into Facebook and holla at one of his shawties.

And don't forget that the research shop that discovered it is headed by a guy who is a vocal proponent of having an Internet Police and absolutely no anonymity. Don't get me wrong, Kaspersky is a really good malware research team with a really good product, but I stopped buying their products as soon as I heard the CEO make those ridiculous statements.

Hell yeah. Someone gets it!

If a Douglas MacArthur story shows up any time soon, I'm dumping everything outta The Crypt.

But we'll still end up doing it.

As a Dallas resident, I wish to gain membership in said company in the pursuit of obtaining henchmanship within a successful super-crime organization. Is there perhaps a website or RSS feed that I could subscribe to for more details.?

I figured out the algorithm. EVERYONE!
Thank you, now where is my money?

I mean, it's a fine and commendable effort & all, but it's just bound to go WOOOOSH!!! to most citizens anyway. In fact, that goes for many of the cops too, I'd bet. Just leaving a letter talking about a screen door isn't really going to cut it for people who just expect to plug in a device and have it work perfectly automagically.

There was a guy I read about in one of those kooky FORBIDDEN SCIENCE books you have to order from the back page of a catalog that also sells spirit crystals, dream catchers and cheap swords. I didn't get to read the entire chapter on him, but he was utilizing a system of rods stuck into the ground hear trees to harness energy. It seemed to be pseudo-science of the most laughable sort at the time, but now, I dunno. He could have been on to something.

Who was doing the metrics monitoring? With a lapse in security that gaping, I'm very surprised that the linear test scores was discovered in the first place.

I have a lot of heat coming from my rig. This oughta work fine on it!
