FireEye suspects Iranian group?
FireEye, is this the same shower that provided security to Equifax:
Equifax back FireEye for hacker defence:
“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.” link -

Re:Congratulations!
FWIW, The Register article on this https://www.theregister.co.uk/... contains some actual data including a chart that shows that levels of Cs137 in 2011 wines are several orders of magnitude BELOW those from the era of atmospheric nuclear tests (1950s/1960s) https://regmedia.co.uk/2018/07...
The comments on the Register article are interesting as well. I didn't know that mushrooms and cucumbers (the skins) seem to be effective collectors and concentrators of Cs137.

missing element
What I want to know is, why was this guy Voits trying to hack into the prison? Sure, the report can show what he did (court papers: https://regmedia.co.uk/2017/12... ), but the story is missing the component of why? Why would Voits risk his life, fortune and livelihood to hack into this prison software? Who's record was he after? Was there a person he was specifically targeting to alter their record? The journalists here have found such a juicy headline, but I think they jumped the gun a bit on publishing.

Re:Both the summary and article are simply wrong
the companies the judge named
That's a null set. Maybe you should try reading the order itself rather than media articles about it.
and list of parties to the case
And that's Sci-Hub. Since they didn't even bother to show up to defend against a default judgment, I suspect even you can figure out how much of an effect an injunction against them is going to have.
The reason people are talking about the case isn't because "oh no how do you notify the parties" it is that "uh those named aren't parties to the case!"
* * *
Since you don't really understand why people are talking about itActually, I was the one that brought up that issue weeks ago -- let your eyes slowly but deliberately wander back to the top of this thread and read the very first sentence in my post. You're just embarrassing yourself at this point.

Oracle v. Google is a Big Deal
Oracle has established that APIs are copyrightable - you are not allowed to reverse engineer them. The decision says the name of java.lang.Math.max is an artistic work, not a functional one, because someone making a competitor to Java could name the function something else. Arguments about compatibility were thrown out. An appeal was denied.

Misleading headline
The headline is quite misleading, the real details are in the order that, thankfully, the summary links to.
Basically, the judge granted a protective order that lets the feds search for evidence of criminality (e.g. more info on those plans to dump butyric acid into the ventilation shafts or to chain trains), without the ability to go fishing around for evidence of other crimes they may have committed.
In short, it's a reasonable protective order that lets the feds do their job while addressing the privacy concerns. From the headline, you'd assume they lost, but if you look at the details, the feds will be able to search the site for evidence with the judge acting as an intermediary to ensure that all the searches are justified.

Many many documentsOf course the appeal is one-sided in favor of Oracle, but this quote is such sneaky strategy
:
Throughout six months of discovery on remand, Google produced 200,000 pages of documents. Not a single page mentioned ARC++. Then in the final week, after it became impossible to use them in depositions, Google dumped 350,000 pages on Oracle

Text of the appeal
Here is the text of the appeal, in case anyone wants to read it.
-
Exact wording.
From on or about August 2013 through on or about March 17,2015, in the Eastern District of Virginia and elsewhere, the defendant, ZACHARY LEE SHAMES, knowingly and intentionally aided and abetted the commission of computer intrusions, in violation of 18U.S.C. ÂÂ 1030(a)(5)(A) and 2. In particular, attimes listed above, in the Eastern District of Virginia andelsewhere, SHAMES designed, marketed and sold certain malicious keylogger software, knowing that the software was going tobeused to knowingly cause the transmission ofa program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally cause damage without authorization to 10 or more protected computers during any one year period.
(All in violation of Title 18,United States Code, Section 1030(a)(5)(A) and 2)
https://regmedia.co.uk/2017/01...
So what he plead guilty to was developing the software and then knowingly selling it people who would be breaking the law. If he had marketed it toward the general public instead of marketing to crackers it would of not been a problem. For example I can sell and train people in lock picking all I want, however if someone comes up to me and says they want to break into a house with type X lock and want training and tools and I sell it to them then I am in trouble. -

Re: Network LicensingThe story is not vague at all, it references this from the next link down:
which actually isn't true, based on the direct court case filing also linked one level down, where Bitmanagement Software removed it's tracking and licensing software in preparation for a wide scale rollout, possibly for validating that it would be possible?

Re:I can see it now...
Isn't this the exact attack that physical anti-tamper is meant to defeat?
It is one attack model that an anti tamper system might be designed to resist. However it is also an attack model that some systems choose not to defend against in a simple cost/benefit analysis. If the secret on the chip has a commercial cost less that the cost of the attack, then why defend against it? The gear to mount a FIBing attack is millions of dollars. Paying a reverse engineering company is less, but > $10E6. This is related to whether or not your system has BORE properties (Break One, Reuse Everwhere).
This does not apply here. The perception of the worth of product like a smartphone can be very tied up with perceptions of how secure it is, and being required to pull the rabbit out of the hat by a court and then you actually unlock a phone you claimed you can't unlock, then that might well destroy those perceptions of security and cost a lot in lost sales. So designing it so you can't yourself defeat the security you put in is the only sane option.
The court order presumes that the auto erase functionality can be bypassed with software to be provided by Apple. This is likely be unbypassable either because the key management system is enforcing the retry limit in hardware or protected firmware, away from the main application code, or the software that does it simply doesn't have a back door.
The company I work for is in the same position. We can't and won't put in back doors because being found to have lied about the security of the devices would be an existential threat to the company. That doesn't stop people who don't know lying on the internet, claiming we put in back doors, but it's not a rational thing to do.

Re:Less Trolling
Because unlike humans, trolls of the same gender do produce offspring.
How does that work biologically?
Like flies on shit.
Note that there is only one gender of trolls, and yet they increase in number. Proof!
Witling faecus the rightfully endangered, potty-mouth troll.
Habitat: under bridges, in sewage systems, amongst the cruft of computer systems. Dark places close to humans.
Weaknesses: Humour, facts and sunlight. Humour causes them pain. Exposure to sustained Facts or strong Light are fatal.
Appearance: Various aberrations. Recognisable by the unique pin-like growth on their neck - the only visible feature that reliably distinguishes them from sentient bipods.
No pictures exist due to their sensitivity to light of any form Artists impression
History: A hydrogen-sulphide based life-form, possibly originating from the interaction of decomposing faeces and swamp gas. Whether they in fact qualify as a life form, or possess sentient capabilities is uncertain. It's theorised that they appeared when the first ancestors of humans developed intelligence, and that trolls have been devolving ever since. The theory is much debated and purely hypothetical as the only historical records are in the form of ancient legends due to the lack of fossil record. They have no backbone and upon death leave only a nasty stain and a foul odour.
Biology: Their "closed-loop" digestive system allows them to survive their entire life eating only their own excrement. As their brain is composed of only two cells (neither of which function) they are unable to support any distro other than Windows - and even then, only the sliding kind.

In the context of [binary] computers, 64K = 65536
In the context of Science, 64K = 64,000There were many ads showing 64K and there was never any confusion over it. Hell, Microsoft never adapted the KiB notation either.
