Comment AOL - the scam that never ends (Score 2) 49

Used to be a long time ago the scam was the idiot suckers who paid AOL for shitty internet access.

The past few years the scam has morphed into whoever is DUMB enough to buy AOL.

Apollo apparently was stupid enough to waste 5 billion on AOL in 2021, and they're only getting 1.5 billion out of it. 3.5 billion loss in 4 years - slick investment there guys (LOL).

Comment Re:RC4 is still widely used in APCO-25 systems (Score 1) 64

Yet would you use RC4 for wifi or web security?

Poor security is no security, and I'm shocked someone hasn't written a program that would tie into a cheap realtek SDR and eat ADP keys for breakfast.

It would be like when DVD encryption got cracked. Once someone buys a case a beer and spends a weekend coding it, the horse is out of the barn for good.

 

Comment Windows Autoplay - the gift that keeps on giving (Score 4, Insightful) 25

Goddamn Autoplay/autorun.inf, a script kiddies wet dream for spreading crapware.

The day M$ enabled flash drives to run a program as soon as a flash drive is plugged in, with zero user intervention was just BEGGING to be abused. And it has for decades now.

Idiots. I've been disabling it from day one on my builds and its saved me (and my clients) a LOT of headaches.
