Comment Re:There are no winners here (Score 1) 12

I recall awhile back there was a LinkedIn data breach. Where lots of personal data was whisked away, to be used by bad actors. But even since then, it seems as if pretty decently targeted spearphishing pops up. Very employee role specific within the same organization. I suppose the public publishing makes it oh so simple.

Comment Re:Has the govt transferred them into a new wallet (Score 1) 58

If you dig into the case affidavit from the IRS investigator, he walks through the entire process. Listing all of the wallet ID's and everything. Here is the US government wallet that has most all of the proceeds sitting there now --> https://www.blockonomics.co/#/....

Looking closer at the criminal charges and whatnot, it's really interesting. Once Silk Road's servers were seized and dug into then the trail became easier to follow for sure --> https://www.justice.gov/usao-s....

Comment Trained Ears (Score 1) 98

After so many years of enjoying the convenience of streaming music/audio, I was amazed at how used to the quality I've become. From music being streamed from my phone to listening to SiriusXM in the car to letting Alexa entertain me at home, etc. This past year I went old school and bought a record player, and nabbed some classic vinyl I'd owned back in the day. Listening to the depth and richness of it compared to digitized streaming media was like night and day. Obviously the bandwidth and convenience are huge wins for streaming audio. But the penalties are definitely there as well...

Yep. To pass inspection. Although that could just patch over to an ATA, and doesn't have to be independent copper POTS. Other than that and the alarm lines, we have one vendor who's located outside of the US (over in Europe). We still have to fax them orders. In 2022. And regardless of the T.38 gyrations and other VoIP config tweaks I couldn't get consistent faxing unless we stick the fax on copper POTS. Fun times.
