This guy's OpSec was pretty bad. I'm not entirely surprised, but I am surprised it took this long for it to bite him.

It's definitely a very focused search. There will almost certainly be more coverage over the coming days/weeks. It is reported that a full list of names and companies linked will be released in early May. http://www.iri

No. The government is the moving party. If the moving party drops it, the court drops it.

I'd be all over this if they supported yubikey's U2F. I love 1pass, but it always makes me uneasy using Dropbox (or anything similar) for syncing.

Surprisingly, the passwords are probably the only thing safe. Looks like they were hashed with bcrypt.

>> Astoria also opens multiple avenues for future work such as integrating realtime hijack and interception detection systems (to fully counter RAPTOR [18] attacks) This is really interesting. I'm curious how that would work.

Isn't this the same thing as IRATEMONK that was revealed a year or so ago in the NSA ANT catalog? https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/01/iratemonk_nsa...

I wish my company did this when I had a kid. They gave me 2 weeks paid leave. Then I took 6 weeks semi-paid leave from the state. aaaaaand when I returned I was notified that since I "missed" a few weeks of on-call rotation during

Unless all they do is capture the flow of every handshake in a huge database. Then they can use that for targeted decryption or other forms of prioritized targeting. The NSA program is called Longhaul. Watch the talk Appelbaum gave at CCC v

This is just the exceptional delays. People have given up reporting the "normal" delays we are now seeing every day due to overcrowding of the trains. The overcrowding slows down the onboarding/offboarding of trains by a lot.

That's understandable and probably a good reason for startssl to build an automated revoke tool, for the sake of keeping their name healthy. However, I would be way more concerned about a company unwilling to pay a trivial amount of mo

If you read startssl'a justification on the free cert, you'll see that they charge in relation to the time they need to spend. A low level 1 year cert involves no human time. They don't have fully automated systems for revoke

So the ITR report dropped back to normal right around the time that google claims to be returning to normal due to their load balancing infrastructure failing. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/google-a...

This article doesn't even touch the horrible nature of Clipper. Here is a summary of some of the worst that I have experienced: 1 - Intentionally inconvenient autoloading of a monthly pass.- They will automatically charge your CC for this

You clearly have a large pool of hardware. Your numbers mean nothing without knowing the hardware that DIDN'T fail. To give a more useful metric, for the last 4 years I have maintained a company have about 150 machines. 50% are Macbook Pros

A big reason is that it's much easier to do from a legal perspective. Letting go of low performing people in a layoff is way easier than going through all the hoops of giving them warnings, putting them on probation, etc. Also, a slow trick

It is always funny reading the hysterics of public perception when you are on the inside, isn't it? You are spot on though. These types of layoffs are the norm in gaming. I can't think of a single game shop that doesn't do semi frequent op

I propose that many of the "assholes" and "tear it all down" types are anti-authoritarians who fell through the cracks in the authoritarian system. They have all the anger, anxiety, and hate for the authority that surrounds them but they ne

Handing your search data off to other people still opens up potential privacy problems. There was a FF plugin that would run random web traffic in the background based on various RSS feeds you pointed at it. I forget the name but I am sure

The lack of a decent magnetosphere on mars is probably the biggest issue we have to tackle if we are going to send people there. It would require some pretty significant infrastructure on mars to shield us and all of our life resources. We

For all you guys targeting startups, do you have a recommended location for finding them? There are plenty of amazing startups around that I have never heard of. I feel like I just don't have the time to keep up or am unaware of some magic
