ddtmm writes: The Syrian Electronic Army [wikipedia] is claiming
responsibility for the hacking of multiple news websites, including CBC News. Some users trying to access the CBC
website reported seeing a pop-up message reading: "You've been hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA)." It appears
the hack targeted a network used by many news organizations and businesses.
A tweet from an account appearing to belong to the Syrian Electronic
Army suggested the attacks were meant to coincide with the U.S. Thanksgiving on Thursday.
The group claimed to have used the domain Gigya.com, a company that offers businesses a customer identity management
platform, to hack into other sites via GoDaddy, its domain registrar. Gigya is "trusted by more than 700 leading
brands," according to its website. The hacker or hackers redirected sites to the Syrian Electronic Army image that users saw.
Gigya's operations team released a statement Thursday morning saying that it identified an issue with its domain
registrar at 6:45 a.m. ET. The breach "resulted in the redirect of the Gigya.com domain for a subset of users," the
company said.
Among the websites known to be hacked so far are New York Times, Chicago Tribune, CNBC, PC World, Forbes, The
Telegrapgh, Walmart and Facebook.
I've looked into the Macs and it's similar in that it's coil whine but from the coils in the power supply and not the graphics. Most switching power supplies work at higher frequencies (that is, much higher than 50/60 hz) and produce that sound when the right amount of current passes through them. Many devices using switching supplies (which is most electronics devices) make that sound. All the NEC lcd monitors in our office have a faint whine to them as well, and also power supply related.
Every time I hear another story like this I think of Person Of Interest. I'm starting to think that show is based on reality and not some futuristic sci-fi dreams.
If you're already holding a cell phone then texting 911 is a bit lame when you can just call. You'll get a lot more back and forth communication in 1 minute on a call that you could ever get with texting.
"help in the development of new coffee varieties better able to endure drought, disease and pests,"
Sounds a lot like Monsanto. GMO to fight against pests will certainly backfire at some point in the future. It sounds more like, let's do it because we can, and not because there's good reason.
What's the difference between receiving 100 emails over the course of a week while you're away, and getting 100 emails on the first day back? You still have to go through the messages either way. Either way, the employee has the option of reviewing the messages periodically through the week or dealing with them when they get back to the office anyway. It's kind of a non-issue.
I agree with Jason Levine's comment above, "Proper out of office messages will also give you the name and number or e-mail address of the person to contact if this is an urgent matter."
If the story 60 Minutes did on this is anywhere accurate it doesn't surprise me the cheating is a huge problem. The state of repair of the facilities and systems was so bad, it showed to me that no one in the Command is paying attention. I don't want to say no one cares, but it looks pretty bad. The state of repair of their systems is probably the same as their staff.
Really? You would rather forego USB3 and throughput in favour of a mouse connector you can plug in without fishing around? Just how often are you plugging in your mouse? In the case of Apple's reversible Lightning connector they embedded a chip in the connector housing to facilitate that, and to no less surprise, detect whether you're using a genuine Apple cable or not. All that makes their USB/Lightning cable over $20. Is that what you prefer?
