Great article. I do agree with it, while I'd add this conclusion (personal opinion): - Usefulness of visualizing the codebase, interconnections, memory layouts - all of these are attempts of an overview of the things that aren't i

The way the first paragraph was written instantly reminded me of Douglas Adams and his works. Glad to see another one. :)

I'm amazed by the fact this had actually gone through several levels of approval, and yet nobody noticed anything wrong with a request to snap a photo of your CC and post it online.

I am well aware of that, and agree with you. There had to be some seriously bad decisions made here, and it certainly doesn't look like someone from a big company would make such mistake. Yet, those kind of bad decisions are made every

This actually just sounds like a really bad implementation. Some front-end dev wasn't sure what's a good timeout to fire the password to the server on, so he or she just put it on keypress. And then he included the email too, so t

This is new to me. How does this exactly work? Can you report the email senders to someone, if you get spam or something?

I have a MacKeeper related question: are apps such as this (cleaners, antivirus etc.) necessary for Mac computers? Judging by the number of users affected by this, there are a lot of people thinking they do need it, I guess.

This makes me wonder if we are just children of some of the earlier species. If not, did life spontaneously come to existence here, on our lump of rock in space? In any way, as someone already had said, we're a bit late for the show no

I have a cheap internet connection (16Mbit, ~$13/month), and I'm not a minority. In my country, having an internet connection that's speedy enough for video streaming is not a luxury. And yet, I can't even buy anything o

Perhaps the cracker is actually employed at PayPal for real? :) This thought amuses me, since it's a scenario with no leaks outside the circle of PayPal employees, yet it gives the opportunity to the bad guy to gain the info necessary

This is an excuse. The thing that made me think this way is that they claim everything's in order on their end, but they still only sent me the bare package, without the extra controler I've ordered. In a customer service ticket r

Actually, the only thing the hacker didn't do is ask the dude politely to give him (or her) the money. This wasn't a 0day bug, no XSS. The dude gave the hacker permission to run any code on his machine, therefore it's completely his own fau
