I have learned something in IT. Never assume. Maybe they keep VIP info in another database that was not leaked. Once I get solid evidence that someone important personal info was leaked through that breach, I will still think this database was full of regular people's info.
Still we don't know for sure. Maybe their sensitive info is kept in a special, non publicly accessible database. I mean, I don't think Trump, Obama, Bush or Clinton's credit record can really be accessed by usual means. If so, I'd say it is fuc*ing careless.
Probably should have been more government monitoring for security which I would guess will occurs after a post-mortem of this incident.
Seriously, you really think governments care about folks having their data leaked? If top govt execs info was leaked, then maybe we would get something real, but right now, all we'll see is a fake investigation with, as usual, no one going to jail or paying fines.
The corrupt Financial Industrial Complex is the real reason cryptocurrency was invented and continues to be justified.
And the real reason why the governments will want it to stay in place is full traceability. Yes, for now, BTC is totally anonymous. But wait till the governments put their nose into it, and require all wallet holders to be IDd. Then ALL the transactions you will ever have done in your life can be tied to you.
I want to still be able to use paper money, and they will make it more and more difficult to use it.
It's not a backdoor nor a vulnerability. It's a government feature that was discovered and MS locked the feature. Now the 3 letters agencies will have to revert to their other features to get into people's computers.

Who is surprised of this "extreme volatility"? This exponential price hike dwarfs the 2000 tech bubble. How can one expect this kind of growth to go on? It got totally out of control, so someday some big player will want to cash in, and the bubble will bust in panic.
China is supposed to have signed it, and yet we accept that they do not respect their engagement. And why? Because it is a major commercial partner. Period.
Their Great Firewall and overall surveilance programs of all citizens, and resulting imprisonments, is totally against this Declaration. Their behavior is unacceptable, but we accept it anyway because money talks.
Blocking YouTube is a bit harsh, but I can understand blocking Facebook.
Are you serious? You actually approve blocking websites going against net neutrality and freedom of speech? And some modder modded this "insightful"? Where the fuck am I?
I think it's been 15 years that I immediately throw the YP and residential directories directly to the recycle bin. It's about time they stop publishing these antiquated books.
Now when are they going to stop printing these useless hotel bibles?
Also, it's possible to hook up an external pacemaker while the implanted one is being reflashed.
I hope it's the case, cause having 465,000 pacemakers to reflash, you know... ever heard of Murphy's law? The patient better be in a good mood during the firmware update.

If I had mod points, +1 informative
With the amount of surveillance in the world today, not even paper money transactions should be considered private or anonymous.
Still, there are ways. With cryptocurrencies, there may be none.
The corrupt Financial Industrial Complex is the real reason cryptocurrency was invented and continues to be justified.
And the real reason why the governments will want it to stay in place is full traceability. Yes, for now, BTC is totally anonymous. But wait till the governments put their nose into it, and require all wallet holders to be IDd. Then ALL the transactions you will ever have done in your life can be tied to you.

Sorry, I am not hiring. Just taking the money and run.

FTFY
Now I am the one getting rich! XD

Customers were superfish to think that a ruling could be in their favor.
This seems to be the logical conclusion. I hope some reasonable modders will mod it "overrated".
Have you ever read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

The editors are getting more and more sloppy in here... I miss the good old days...

Can we just talk about what current BTC value is? A bubble about to burst?
Ar you still waiting for that dead Nigerian king's money? And your Russian girlfriend, is she with you yet?
Too bad this news is US only. I have a Canadian PayPal account and the page to sign up is not accessible.
They'll probably be praying [...]
I don't see how a prayer will save anything, let alone a pacemaker firmware update.

MS just doesn't feel comfortable without some kind of lock-in.
I'd replace "MS" with "Most big tech corporations". Apple, Google, Lexmark, HP, MS are all very good examples of lock-in crap.
I think the right symbol at work here is this one: $
