  3. Why is this "news"? by manicbutt · · Score: 2, Insightful · on FBI Investigating iPad E-Mail Leaks

    It's not a hack, it's only indirectly related to Apple (despite Gawker's attempts to paint it otherwise), and the government email addresses that were "exposed" are public anyway. It's not difficult for me to send email to Rahm Emanuel. Goatse's brute force script isn't that interesting (see http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2010/06/114000-ipad-owners-the-script-that-harvested-their-e-mail-addresses/) so why are we wasting so much time on this non-story?

    Yawn, another unpatched MS browser exploit.

    The tool didn't send data to decafme, didn't open any backdoors, isn't really disabled for anyone with half a brain, and was a stunt but never a hoax: Reactivate DECAF in two minutes: http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2009/12/reactivating-decaf-in-two-minutes/

    They might have shutdown decafme.org server but that is simple to get around. Full details: http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2009/12/reactivating-decaf-in-two-minutes/.
    Plus the whole Hoax angle is totally false itself.
