It isn't it patently obvious by now that neither FireEye, Malwarebytes or Microsoft has any competence in the area of "cyber" security.

“We have this category that Equifax calls unhandled malware, [with] which traditional security approaches haven’t been very helpful. Putting in FireEye has really helped us detect this unhandled malware, then gives us the capability to take action to stay secure.” Equifax

"The NSA said that DoH does not fully prevent threat actors from seeing a user's traffic and that when deployed inside networks, it can be used to bypass many security tools that rely on sniffing classic (plaintext) DNS traffic to detect threats."

I would be more worried about getting your deep packet inspection system compromised.

Jury: Apple must pay $626 million to patent troll VirnetX

"An East Texas jury has ruled that Apple must pay patent-holding company VirnetX $625.6 million for infringing four patents. It's a massive verdict for VirnetX, a company that has no products and makes its money solely through patent litigation."

AntiX is even lighter on resources than MX Linux.

History of Java

Do you think such "trust protocols" were deliberately weakened at the behest of the spooks to give then backdoor access to the Azure "Cloud" in the process diluting security that some third part has exploited. you know like that backdoor that Google inserted into Gmail that the Chinese discovered and used to monitor dissidents.

How does this BSSID WiFi malware get onto the victims computer?

The Expanse is also top episodic space opera.

@guruevi: "A lot of us techies have gotten older and wiser, we don't want to fix a family's worth of Windows systems every holiday anymore. Give everyone an iFruit device and you can finally get some real vacation done.

"I used to get Androids for the kids because they were 'cheap', but the recurring costs, time investment and lack of reasonable parental controls is just not worth it."

This slashdot quote just popped up at the bottom of you post. Seems appropriate:

"The price one pays for pursuing any profession, or calling, is an intimate knowledge of its ugly side." -- James Baldwin

If a puppet and a man in a mask redeemed the Star Wars Universe. Then that just shows the sterility and lack of originality in today's cinematic universe.

And all because the techies didn't want to get out of their seat to administer a large number of Windows boxen.

> You think that is incompetence?

Maybe SolarWinds functioned as designed, giving the spooks eyes into the entire federal government. In the process diluting security such as some party used the backdoor to break in. Remember that Gmail backdoor that the NSA got Google to insert into gmail, that the Chinese discovered.

No one in their right minds install a remote monitoring utility on their confidential computers.

"Dozens of people .. are suing the company over "horrific" invasions of privacy."

What do they expect, you install a remote monitoring camera and connect it to the Internet and it gets hacked.

What a coincidence, these stories popping up right in the middle of the SolarWinds hack
