Three Indicted In Huge Identity/Data Breach
ScentCone and other readers let us know about an indictment just unsealed in federal court for stealing 130 million credit cards and other data useful in identity theft, or just plain money theft. The breaches were at payment processor Heartland (accounting for the bulk of the 130M), Hannaford, 7-11, and two unnamed "national retailers." Interestingly, the focus of the indictment, Albert "Segvec" Gonzalez, is currently awaiting trial for masterminding the TJX break-in, which until Heartland counted as the largest credit-card theft ever. The indictment cites SQL injection attacks as the entry vector. Two unnamed Russia-based conspirators were also indicted. Securosis has analysis of the security implications of the breach ("These appear to be preventable attacks using common security controls. It's possible some advanced techniques were used, but I doubt it") and the attackers' methodology.
Cuntflap.

Well, per the lists I put out below, vs. that above quoted from you?
Others tend to disagree w/ you, ion.SIMIAN.c (here, & in respected written publication, inclusive of respected corporate bodies in this art & science who used ideas of mine to place as a finalist 2x in a row @ Microsoft Tech-Ed in its hardest category - SQLServer Performance Enhancement) :

Ion.SIMIAN.c - I QUESTION YOUR ABILITIES TO RUN & UNDERSTAND LINUX, period... why? This:
-----
"Heh. The i-RAM is a finicky chunk of trash." -by ion.simon.c (1183967) on Saturday December 13, @09:55AM (#26102285)
-----
So, since you said that? Well, back it up, vs. these 3 simple questions you now refuse to answer:
-----
1.) Does the IRAM run on Windows reliably? ANSWER = YES...
2.) Does the IRAM run on Linux reliably?? ANSWER (per your sources, YOU, no less) = NO...
3.) Since the IRAM runs on Windows well, but not Linux, well... what is the "piece of trash" here (what is it YOU called the IRAM? A "finicky piece of trash"??)??? ANSWER (obviously) = LINUX...
-----
Funny - That 'piece of trash' (what you called the GIGABYTE IRAM SSD) works FINE on Windows... & yet, it does not on Linux!
(Explain that, & it appears the "finicky piece of junk", IS LINUX, not Windows OR the IRAM... well, it's that or what I am STARTING to lean towards, & that is that YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH ONE (or, Linux apparently either)).
Who are you trying to fool here? Time to show YOU, what is what & everyone else here, where it's at, on that account... with your own list of massive screwups.
APK
P.S.=> For your NEAR constant trolling of myself via this registered account of yours, AND, via alternate logon sock puppets (like "random destruction")? Especially for comments like these in them:
"2) You're talking to APK. He exists to write wall-of-text comments. His depth of knowledge is *really* shallow, so don't expect a good conversation out of him." - by ion.simon.c (1183967) on Thursday August 06, @08:09PM (#28980845)
Well - I am going to DESTROY YOU here, ion.simon.c, by letting YOU, destroy yourself, with screwups like this one I just noted on YOUR part ... this is just the start! Remember - YOU started it, I am merely going to finish it, and YOU along with it... but, that's assuming trolls like you have any feelings of shame, & I doubt that you do... apk
Because he obviously is a botmaster (or wannabe "hacker/cracker" who loses profits by blocking known bad websites in HOSTS files since adbanners have been compromised before), or some webmaster (as they lose monies on adbanner blockage, despite it taking away a users' speed online, OR, via malicious code in them that bushwhacks the unwary user):

"But don't you see? Your favorite sites are going to have to shut down if you use AdBlock, 'cause then you're stealing their content! You're really going to just have to take one for the team." - by ion.simon.c (1183967) on Wednesday February 25, @01:32PM (#26983715)
----
I would ordinarily stop on that note alone, seeing as Ion.SIMIAN.c is obviously one profiting by these things (even though they're known to be infested with malicious code the past few years now & the fact that adbanners eat up an online user's bandwidth THE USER PAYS FOR no less)... but, that's not all, with wannabe, Ion.SIMIAN.c... far from it!
He hangs out @ the "hacker/cracker" websites online, like this one -> http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:T1ikOtt242AJ:hackaday.com/2009/02/22/x11-on-android/+%22Simon+C.+Ion%22&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Thus, it's quite possible he is trying to somehow "discredit me" to others, since I have done guides that stop that type of loser (hackers/crackers), the worst kind of online SCUM that there is, via this guide I did in late 2008 -> http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=5bf29ea6ca49162314f25f9ebf2aba68&showtopic=2662
He also likes things like "PhreakNic", a 'hacker/cracker' type event apparently -> http://wiki.yak.net/0.photos.simoncion?size=L and those are his photos from it...
APK
P.S.=> Keep using TOR (another indicator ion.SIMIAN.c is nothing but someone up to "no good" again most likely), & going slow as hell due to their total lack of speed (like any "anonymous proxy" usually is) being the "wannabe hacker" you *THINK* you are, apparently... NOW - You said this to me:
"2) You're talking to APK... His depth of knowledge is *really* shallow, so don't expect a good conversation out of him." - by ion.simon.c (1183967) on Thursday August 06, @08:09PM (#28980845)
Time to show YOU, what is what & everyone else here, where it's at, on that account... with your own list of massive screwups. I will keep to my word, because I laid off on you, thinking you'd leave me be from the last time we "had it out" for your trolling me, & you lost badly (which my other replies here clearly illustrate)... So, from now on, under this "ion.simon.c" registered user account you have here? I'll do as you requested -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1230601&threshold=-1&commentsort=0&mode=thread&pid=28076381 , & post this in reply to your posts, see how you like eating your own words... apk
ion.SIMIAN.c claims he is a programmer? B.S.!
First he said this:
----
"I'm a programmer." - by ion.simon.c (1183967) on Saturday May 02, @11:17PM (#27803057)
----
So, since he said what he said in the quote above... all I can say is:
OH, Really? Prove to us you are a professional programmer, ion.simIAn.c, won't you? After all, you CLAIMED that you are above, & demanded others, in myself specifically, do so as well, here:
"You claim that you're a professional. Prove it" - by ion.simon.c (1183967) on Sunday May 03, @08:52PM (#27811101)
Ok then, time to put the "shoe on the other foot" - NOW, I demand the same proof of your words:
After all - That's the same question you asked ME to prove & I did, via the "My Name is Ozymandias" lists I posted in replies here earlier in this thread -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1327945&cid=28981391
All of that, was in response to accusations like that one quote above, from yourself, directed MY way!
My list of some of the stuff I have been fortunate to have been noticed in, in this very field in respected publications or by companies &/or famous contests like Ms Tech Ed - which served to "shut you up", VERY quickly... not everyone is like yourself, SIMIAN, so, get over it...
(The rest of us, true pros in this art & science, don't waste our times on trying to be "hacker/cracker" wannabes that hang out @ "hack a day" (as you have been shown to do in my others posts here (Nor does everyone hide behind TOR like you do, nor do others use alternate sock puppet accounts as you do in "Random Destruction", your sock puppet registered account)).
What I found hilarious, was that you were shown to go even to the point of where you emailed Dr. Mark Russinovich -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1234703&cid=27981921 (in regards to he & I both doing work for Sunbelt software in the mid 1990s, and, where I corrected his errors in PageDefrag for him, telling him WHY & HOW he went wrong, to which he even THANKED ME FOR, in email, per this here -> http://www.pcmech.com/article/defragging-the-windows-page-file/ to which you obviously did get a response from he, & no longer question my status as you did above)
That stuff above, & my other replies here, along w/ other proofs I gave you disprove your b.s. here... & other places you trolled me in...
HOWEVER? Ah, but, when YOU are asked for the same proofs of YOUR WORDS & CLAIMS? YOU RAN... and you keep running!
APK
P.S.=> This is going to be the end of you, troll... I've had it, w/ your trolling b.s. directed MY way, & for the 4th time now from you or more... & this, on my part? It is merely "righteous indignation" and you deserve it, after this crap here you said about myself:
"2) You're talking to APK... His depth of knowledge is *really* shallow, so don't expect a good conversation out of him." - by ion.simon.c (1183967) on Thursday August 06, @08:09PM (#28980845)

There are too many to even paste in, but, the url's below will do (The compendium of ion.SIMIAN.c classic screwups):

2.) DNS Servers -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1219095&cid=27798027

5.) Services patching &/or cutoffs for security -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1219095&cid=27802917
6.) What the definition of "System Hardening" is -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1219095&cid=27800687
That's ALL for exposing you as nothing more than a "know-nothing troll" who has bothered myself for the LAST TIME here, ion.SIMIAN.c ...
Then again: Perhaps I am expecting you to even have the capability to feel shame, & that's possibly expecting too much from "the likes of you", who has nothing he can evidence to his credit, of accomplishments in this field in WRITTEN respected publications, or contests like Ms-TechEd as I have to MY credit - but yet, you see fit to say to others what you did about me in my P.S. below... lol!

(with ease!)
With the amount of technical screwups, & false claims + accusations you make (which are EASILY disproved)? Well - You do the job, for me... thanks! apk
