Submission + - Is This How Anonymous Hacked the FBI Laptop to Steal 12M Apple UDIDs? (ibtimes.co.uk)

DavidGilbert99 writes: "A security blogger has detailed how the AntiSec group within Anonymous could have hacked an FBI laptop.

First of all though it should be pointed out that there is no concrete evidence that Anonymous did in fact hack an FBI laptop as they claim, but if they did, security blogger Robert David Graham thinks he knows how they did it."

I'm not quite sure why it isn't turned on by default.

I use proxies at both home and work. I've used this performance tweak with my online banking sessions at home and I haven't had an issue with it yet.

This tweak was posted for power users to consider. Try it and see what you think. I'm not implying in any way that all users should do this...just those that want to get better performance out of FF.

Did you even look at the article?

The concept of Google must be above and beyond both Aunt Sally, Cousin Joe, and quite possibly, yourself.

I simply added a performance tip and your all up in arms about the documentation for it. Start reading and perhaps your find what your looking for.

If you insist on knowing how I found out about "about:config", I was annoyed at web address bar and the search results that it was displaying when I typed an address in. I simply Googled it and wouldn't you believe it! I found a story telling me how to shut off the "browser.urlbar.maxRichResults". It's set to 12 by default. I simply set mine to -1 and it's gone. THAT is how I found out about it.

Aunt Sally, I don't think would ever know or care about it. But, if I said so for her to run it, that would be because she asked me what I run for a browser and I told her it was Firefox and she wanted to run the same thing. As for Cousin Joe, he'd probably start by looking for it. It's not that difficult really.
