Comment phpinfo (Score 2) 55

I don't know what kind of website he had visited but back in the day I'd used phpinfo as a simple "helloworld" app to test my nginx/php installs and the amount of information it'd dump out from literally doing nothing is astronomical. Granted, at the same time, you could override various browser/host settings if you had the right browser and you could confuse the heck out whatever server/daemon was running on the other side especially if it was trying to do some matching/filtering of the information it got from browser agent. The road goes both ways.

Given that they have optimized the crap out of the software they probably feel like they have done everything short of going assembly. But if you're going assembly you might as well just full send and make the hardware itself then you own the assembly.

It will be interesting to see where they go with this.

Comment Huawei (Score 1) 238

Huawei have had dark factories and placing them on the sanctioned list of companies only spurred them to "get good" even more. Even before they came under fire they were already scaling back their workforce at the factories as they had already started to see the benefits of dark factories. What other dark factories other industries may have is hard to tell but this is an evolution of manufacturing technology.

At this point, if I was running a data broker company, I'd be hoping that these companies don't pay because these hackers are doing their work for them, i.e. collecting data, albeit illegally. These data broker companies should just be siphoning all this leak data and going through it and aggregate into their system so they can make their existing system better.
