"Attackers have exploited Linux servers that run unpatched versions of Apache Struts and Tomcat with vulnerabilities"

Apache Struts, Tomcat, and elasticsearch (mentioned in the summary) are all written in java.
To me, that indicates a JAVA vulnerability, not a Linux vulnerability.

I usually get 1 of these calls per month.
I like to see how long it takes before they swear at me and hang up.
One time i started the conversation with "I like pie", and spent the next 20 minutes telling this guy about all the pies i have eaten in my life.

My favorite of all time was a lady with a very attractive voice. Every time she told me to do something, i made up a bullshit error message. She was sounding very confused when she finally asked me what version of windows i was using and i told her windows 19.
She tried to explain to me that the latest version of windows was windows 7, but about halfway through my story about how i wanted a very fast computer, so i built a time machine to go buy a new computer in the future, she started using some very colorful language, including a few words that i have never heard before, and i can swear in 17 languages.

Every time i get bored, i watch the phone and hope for another call from them.

I once saw people competing in a hot-dog eating contest being referred to as athletes. That was about a decade ago, and the last time I watched ESPN.

A good book is only limited by your imagination. A movie is limited by somebody else's

Never underestimate the depravity of the human race. There are people who would pay to see it.

Our economy has become the equivalent of a luxury hotel that makes its real profits by selling copies of your credit card swipes to hackers.

Wrong.
It is a sleazy motel with cameras in every room, and the profits come from selling videos of you having sex, showering, and going to the toilet.

Downmod this fucking AC. So tired of the ACs on this site

We're talking about pirates here.
You have to keel-haul them.

In the majority of cases, it is greed.
In a some people, greed can override common sense. IMHO, these people deserve to lose everything.

A few years ago, there was a South African man (CxO of some company) who lost a few million in a 419 scam. He went to Nigeria to try and get his money back, but got killed instead.
Good riddance.

Unless you use different frequencies for neighboring towers (keep in mind that it would be extremely expensive to do so), you will just be causing another problem.
Where the towers overlap, you get a lot of interference, which degrades the service.
If you want to cover the same area, you will have a lot of overlaps.

Personal experience: I live on top of a hill with line of sight to 4 cellphone towers. Voice is fine, because that is relatively low bandwidth. But when I try to use HSPA, It's almost as bad as GPRS.
If I go halfway down the hill, where I can only see 1 tower, I average 10 Mbps.

With any wireless service, you have a limited amount of bandwidth. That bandwidth is shared by everybody connecting to a tower.

If you have more than 1 person trying to use as much bandwidth as they can, it will just degrade the service for everyone.

You could get another frequency to operate on, or use more directional antennas so that less people connect to each transmitter, but that will only delay the inevitable.

In these days of ever increasing bandwidth demands, there is no way that wireless can supply that demand.

With a wired connection, you can add more cables.
With a wireless connection, that is not an option.

I started programming when I was about 10 years old for one very simple reason. I enjoy making things.
I recently built my own house for that same reason. I also made most of the furniture in it as well.
If, at the end of the day, I can say "I made that", then I am happy.

Australia is not in the UK.

If you put the queen of england on your money, you're british!

Musicians love the music that they created the way they created it.
They want the world to hear what they created. Not a remix put together by some tone-deaf moron.
