The story and the disclaimer (look it up in a dictionary, this is a correct use of the word. Even an AC can learn that being snide isn't productive.) were covered on/.
Although this story claims it all started with one fake tweet, it's pretty interesting that extra details were reported which were not in the tweet. This USA Today story makes it sound like the tweet was all there was. Yet somehow in the reports there are a bunch of additional details. Maybe the denial is the fake story? Or maybe additional hoaxers filled in the oddly speciic details after the tweet. There's no way for me to know.
Just yesterday CNN was running some fake news about a researcher proposing a vote recount, and said researcher had to log a disclaimer. I suppose the Russians were behind that too. They must have also been behind all the fake news about iraq having weapons of mass destruction. Those cunning bastards! Time to call in moose and squirrel!
From the article, it seems that is pretty much the problem "Users are advised not to open any file that has automatically downloaded, especially any image file with an unusual extension such as SVG, JS, or HTA"
In other words, somehow the user is made to think an image file has been downloaded, but it is something else.
I was just reading an article about breaking down the election by county, and how Clinton won in counties which have done very well economically (over 70% or something of GDP) and Trump the reverse. It reminded of the Brexit maps that showed the same sort of pattern. The people who feel they haven't benefited from the last few decades of change are willing to vote against everyone who has, they don't much care what it is.
There's a reason a lot of people call CNN the "Clinton News Network." I first heard this during the primaries when their anti-Sanders bias was fairly obvious.
Not that there is anything wrong with it, but we see the crux of the matter with this quote: "It’s also the difference between pulling a few tainted packages and yanking all the spinach from hundreds of stores"
Sounds like you want to spin up a managed security provider for home users, to manage their gateways. It's been tried before, but not enough people want to pay for it. Much easier and more economical to just get large ISPs to do it. All we need is the right leverage. As Bruce Schneier observed, it is in part a problem because the device manufacturers and the home users really don't have a strong motivation (yet) to do anything.
It's a very human tendency very much on display during this US election. Their candidate is a monster whose every eyebrow twitch displays a lack of ethics or even basic humanity. My candidate gets a free pass for even the most outrageous behavior.
They don't need to, they just need to go after a few machines in Florida or some other closely contested district. But still a good point, would a gamble like this be worth the cost and the risk? Maybe, since the risk could be limited to the dupes who did the actual work.
Not sure why you say this. EMET is explicitly designed to prevent the exploitation of vulnerabilities, and can't do anything about damages if one is exploited.
It might be interesting to research why self-identified middle/upper class people paid less attention to strangers when they knew they were being recorded. or perhaps why self identified lower class people paid more attention.
For myself, I find that this sort of giving is really just about me. Sure the person might be a scammer or drug addict or whatever. But I'd rather be the sort of person who cheerfully takes a chance on helping someone, and isn't all uptight about a few dollars here and there.
It is called "fiscal stimulus" which creates jobs and increases aggregate demand when all the missile techs and upstream suppliers go out to stock up on vodka.

Go ahead and look up how much trade already exists between China and Taiwan, China and Japan. It's quite a lot.
Everyone hates competition. It's only natural any government would want a monopoly on telling lies.
True, you should never give out your credit card number. And you should never give out your IP address on the Internet either.
Was the different city in China?

According to the summary and article, he didn't say AV was a useless box-ticking exercise.
Mr Show did it
His point is that emojis are described as "the biggest new feature"
It's better than a sad turd.

Sure, but has he found a use for more than 64K of RAM?
I call it "credential waving"
