They stored passwords in plaintext, and emailed them (as plaintext again) directly to people when they checked off the "I lost my password" box on the website...
One other aspect to keep in mind- For YEARS now, the intelligence services of the USA have been pouring millions of dollars a year into the Black Hat Black Markets, where these vulnerabilities are traded and sold. They aren't some bit player, occasionally picking up a new trick, they are the primary source of funding to many of these marketplaces.
The bugs would still exist either way, but the government has been intentionally funding organized crime into developing these vulnerabilities, and making the situation much worse. Since they are the primary entity putting money into this marketplace, they are playing the key role to allow black hats to quit their day job and focus on writing exploits.
Just to be clear, there are many well-researched and well-documented adverse health impacts to eating meat, especially "red" meat. That's not to say it is entirely bad for you, but there are proven links between heart disease and meat consumption.
I know, I know, reading the article is hard- “Tipping is not included, nor is it expected or required,” the team added. “And that’s how we intend to keep it.”
Uber's Investors are losing a bunch of money. Uber's executives are making a bunch of money. Uber's "contractors" are in massive amounts of debt to the company.
Because every square inch of land has to have "ownership", and can't just belong nebulously to a community that shares historical and familial bonds? Not everything is for sale, just because you have money. The thing everyone agrees on is this-
* He doesn't own the land.
* He wants to buy the land.
* Many of the current owners do not want to have to fight in court to prove it is their land.
* Many of the current owners do not want to sell their heritage for some minor payday
Do police regularly request cellular phone companies to provide recordings of ambient audio recorded by cellphones? In this example, the police DO treat an Echo differently from a cell phone, and the DO expect it to have stored audio that might aid their investigation, because unlike a cell phone, the echo records everything when active.
Law enforcement treats the objects differently, so seems perfectly rational for consumers to notice the difference.
Do you understand how large the supervolcano under Yellowstone is? I don't think you do... An eruption would destroy the breadbasket of America, and diminish the suns output globally for years, which in turn would lead to mass starvation for billions of people.
Using science it'd be easy enough to figure out a method to tap the volcano and bring it under control for man's usage in much the same way.
But, if the science is wrong or even slightly miscalculated, on this completely unproven and untested idea of yours, nearly everyone on the entire planet will die. Forgive me if I'm a little hesitant to try this experimental procedure in exchange for a slightly cheaper energy source.
When you stand up on a soapbox on the street corner and start shouting, yes, that's your free speech right. But a cop can stand there and listen to what you say, even record it if they want. It's a public place.
Imagine if everytime a particular person spoke in public, they had a court stenographer following them and recording everything they say. Would that have a chilling effect on free speech? Twitter has a vested business interested in having people use it's services more. Government based monitoring is going to suppress usage of it's services. Seems like a pretty straightforward business case that they don't want these guys spying on their users.
Except in this case, it's a public university. So, it isn't their network. It technically belongs to all of the citizens of Canada, and the network admins may not have the legal rights to arbitrarily block certain types of traffic simply because the paperwork is inconvenient.
Michael Jordan once said, "Republicans buy shoes too." He has political views, but didn't want his brand associated with only 50% of shoppers. Some companies want to be part of culture wars. Chick-fil-a doesnt believe in equal rights for gays, Target makes a big deal about letting transgender people pee. That's part of their image and identity that they want their brand to be. Shoppers can make their own choices.
FB seems to be going a third way, and supporting both candidates, which in turn pisses off both sides. So the angry people can then... post rants on Facebook which generates hits and more traffic from political discussions, and more ad revenue. Ah, clever...
I feel bad for you. I've seen at least 150+ bands play in the past year for free. I generally try to chip in a few bucks for the artists, but that's always my choice, and I find music to be a pretty good entertainment value per dollar.
Maybe you're the one missing what happened here. Bank employees took existing customer accounts, and then "cross sold" them additional products. Like another checking account, or 7 different savings account because 8 is great. Money would get transferred into those accounts to open them. Those customers then have to pay fees on those accounts. That isn't a fake person, its a fake account, attached to a real person, who's paying real money for it. Yes, there were also accounts created attached to fake customers, but the bank employees can't simply open 100 different $0 accounts every day all day. The accounts have to have real money to be opened. Where the fuck do you think that money is coming from, the employees own pockets?
Do you seriously believe that?...The bank implemented a fairly complex system of both punishments and rewards to motivate employees into taking these actions, which primarily devolved into millions of employees stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from their customers.
And you think the bank just benevolently passed on ALL of the profits from this scheme to tellers, without any benefit to the corporation? The entire point of paying a sales commission or bonus is to give the employee a small cut of the profit and keep the main profit for the parent entity.
Let me guess, if you got a new computer, you just want default MS Windows, Internet explorer and Office. Why would you ever need to install any other program on a computer?
I genuinely feel sorry for you that you seem interested in technology by virtue of being on/. but seem incapable of coming up with any novel uses of the super powerful micro-computer in your pocket.
Have you ever used a bank in America? There is no bill sent to a consumer, there is no choice to pay or not, they simply take the money out of the account.
That's a good option for dinner at a restaurant where you know the people you are eating with... But at a bar, you might forget the phone, or your phone might grow legs and walk off with one of the random people who sit near you.
Imagine your same fictional city construct, and consider the unemployed. Those people have two basic choices- starve to death or steal the money from the rich. History has shown us, starving people WILL rob & kill the wealthy to survive. So now you have the choice between "charity", and providing those citizens with enough food/shelter to not revolt and kill the rich, or prisons & mass executions. Which society do you want to live in? Remember this- we have good reason to believe technology will be increasing structural unemployment in the long term.

Soft lines on the outside edge, so I guess they intend it to always show up blurry. No thanks.

Feral hogs are a major problem all across the south. They won't die out just because people stop breeding them.

what sort of monster uses Bittorrent on shared Wifi?!
What sort of network admin isn't familiar with QoS and rate limiting?
It's funny how these conversations always take place after the Democrat loses.
That's because a republican presidential candidate has only won the popular vote a single time in the past 28 years...

There are several candidates I want to vote against... I'm not surprised some people have not identified a candidate they want to vote FOR.

It was ALL stolen from existing customers.

The group makes money from charging for vulnerability assessment,
You say potato, I say extortion... This is simply a new generation of organized crime demanding "protection money", to keep a business safe.
