There is a great short story I read about 10 years ago: http://www.marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm/ that deals with this exact topic. The similarities are scary.

I think CloudFlare's comments are accurate, but I'm no expert.

Apple Executives were very vocal on the subject of how much courage it took to remove the home button from their phone.

In other news, other manufacturers celebrated their 5, 6, and 7 year "No home button on the phone" anniversaries.

This was my exact thought... so maybe I'll buy some and see.

Facebook altered its Terms of Service to the detriment of it's user base in order to make more money. That's not news, it's a day at the office.

I have two solutions for you (I use both): Noscript and Ublock Origin. These are the 2 best Firefox plugins ever made.

What a coincidence that would be... the closest star to ours. I think we just found the home of the Greys. Retribution will follow swiftly.

I can't say I've seen the benefits from v5 to v6...

It is significant, but I think I have to point out the context here. This is not a Lastpass specific issue. ANY service that prompts for a password within the browser is subject to this attack. It just so happens that the Lastpass service is pretty damn important.

Remember the big scare a while back about backdoors in Huawei network switches and routers? Looks like we weren't that far behind.

Why is anyone surprised?

I think you might be incorrect... You are comparing one account's BALANCE to the average EARNINGS (interest paid) of the others. There is no mention of the cumulative balance of the other 40,000 accounts. I also admit that the author may have thought the terms were interchangeable - but they are not.

Given their flagrant disregard for my privacy, I can't say I'm surprised.

Come on people, why so much discussion and speculation? It is printed in black and white, plain as day: Frostbite game engine footage representative of PlayStation 4. Not actual gameplay. During the final few seconds where you see âoelearn moreâoe, the game studio logos,etc. Case closed. Discussion over.

Bad, BAD idea. How do you ensure the police officer doesn't start rifling through your phone? You GAVE it to him/her, so you must have implicitly consented to their searching your phone.
