As opposed [to] cybercriminals profiting from data theft, hacktivism isn’t motivated by money. Hacktivist groups like Anonymous are motivated by revenge, politics, and a desire to humiliate victims, with profit typically not a motive.
Who said they're going to prison. It's Spain, not China, and while I don't know the Spanish legal system, I assume they adhere to principles like presumption of innocence. This will all get sorted out in court and will only prove how much the police and media are ignorant of the subject matter.
Don't these people know, that when the little green LED is on next to the camera there is something going on with the camera?
No. Other than being close to the camera, it gives no indication that the camera is on. Regular users see so many lights on devices now, that it might have lost its intended effect (device being on/off). Maybe they think it's the light for the computer and it means the laptop is charging. There are plenty of reasons not to think it means the camera is on.
Just why exactly? I haven't heard an argument against using the term "cyber" other than "I don't like it." The word is being used the way it is. Get used to it.
What is the actual acceptable cost/benefit tradeoff?
That depends on how much the Fukushima incident will end up costing. And consider that placating the fears of millions of people who live near reactors doesn't have a quantitative benefit.
So instead of waiting for a fix from Siemens before the exploit is revealed, owners should now reconfigure their access to the devices and waste money doing so when they could just wait? And who said no-one is taking precautions? You're assuming Siemens is trying to censor the exploits and not deliver a fix. You're also assuming those with an interest don't already know the exploit, and that merely knowing an vulnerability exists means they will figure it out faster than if it was made public.
Who exactly do you think is going to take the "necessary precautions"?
Whoever is in charge of a dam with one of these faulty devices should take every step necessary to prevent it from being exploited.
They won't, because there is no one demanding it from them. Disclosure would force their hands.
The operators of equipment using the controllers can't do anything about it. Siemens has to fix the issues, and fixes like these take time. It's not as simple as applying an OS update. That seems to be something people aren't realizing.
Allow? Why would or should they have a say?
It's in the interest of We, the People, to learn this, so we can take the necessary precautions.
I'm all for Us having more information, but it's also in Our best interest to fix things before we disclose those types of vulnerabilities. Who exactly do you think is going to take the "necessary precautions"? The manufacturer is the best party to fix the problems, so why release the information into the open before then? Your logic doesn't make sense. If you went on vacation and your house was unlocked and I knew about it, wouldn't you appreciate it if I let you secure the doors before I tell the public?
It's no longer developed by Bungie (although many employees moved to the new in-house developer, 343 Industries). And this surely isn't over yet, one thing the summary neglected to mention is that Microsoft announced a new trilogy. Expect Halo 5 and 6 as well.

Sounds a lot better than "Internet terrorists".

No. The Chromebook clearly infringes on their use of ChromiumPC... which is used to run ChromeOS....
I don't know what their line of reasoning here is...
I'm referring to cable television, not internet.
Buried somewhere in the case documents is a definition of "cost-based". I don't feel like digging around for it right now.
Isn't satellite available almost everywhere, thereby making a cable monopoly impossible?
Anecdotal evidence, by it's definition, is incompatible with science. Scientific evidence is needed in this situation.
the evidence that electronic devices do not disrupt avionics is also anecdotal.
Then it seems the issue is still at an impasse. Perhaps it's bad summarizing, but using "anecdotal evidence" to make decisions is very bad.
Disrupted from cell phones or enemy weapons designed to disrupt?
There is a growing body of anecdotal evidence
Need I say more?
What does the future hold?
It better not be fucking useless, gimmicky hand gestures

When did vulns become a word?
Apparently, some years ago. Here's a vulnerability information site created in 2006.
And is it really a new story that many companies don't patch immediately for every vulnerability out there?
It is when we're talking about a high-profile vulnerability.
What is the actual acceptable cost/benefit tradeoff?
That depends on how much the Fukushima incident will end up costing. And consider that placating the fears of millions of people who live near reactors doesn't have a quantitative benefit.

You're also assuming those with an interest don't already know the exploit, and that merely knowing an vulnerability exists means they will figure it out faster than if it was made public.
And just how do you propose they get the shot without spending extra money? You have to be patient and wait for an opportunity like this to emerge.

Of course they have to charge extra for data over tethering. The screen on a laptop is bigger, morans.

Expect a committee of jowled senators to make an official inquiry into how RSA's tubes were breached.

There must have been a few dozen.
The point is that it's easier to guess a password when you know it only has 36 possible characters, as opposed to 62.
