A family member works for law enforcement in the camera and data department, and uses Flock cameras all the time, for all kinds of crime. They have proved very useful and have improved the departments efficiency tremendously.

All access to the software is logged, and every access has to be reported and attached to investigations.

I personally do not want a surveillance state, but it seems silly to ignore technology that improves law enforcement and saves money at the same time. As long as strict controls are in place, which do not allow abuse, and it remains within the strict uses outlined by law, why not?

My server got compromised last week by this, Slashdot is quite far behind.

There's two new exploits in the Copy Fail class that do privilege escalation everyone should be worried about on shared servers. Copy Fail 2: Electric Boogaloo (https://github.com/0xdeadbeefnetwork/Copy_Fail2-Electric_Boogaloo) and Dirty Frag (https://github.com/V4bel/dirtyfrag)

I am rather disappointed that Ubuntu sat on these LPEs for a month without releasing a fix.

The real problem is that given his rank, he would be in a position to hear things sooner than others further down the food chain. Anyone paying attention to who is doing any betting could have (or should have) asked what they might now that would cause them to place the bet they did. In this case, it boils down to an OPSEC violation, and that's illegal under any circumstance, punishable by UCMJ if not actual civilian law. The fact that the FBI are involved tells me that this guy will probably be facing UCMJ violations too (if he's lucky, court martial if he's not), and may not be a Sergeant Major any longer when the dust settles.
