Me, I'm a security guy who also does some cloud, which was a big part of the reason they brought me on: our client is going to the Cloud, and wanted someone clueful on the security staff.
So I put in for a week of training for one of the major Cloud Security certs (as our client is ALL about the credentials, as opposed to demonstrated capability. . . . ), and get told there's no budget for it, and I can go take the course on my own dime. . .
. . ..which I'm going to do. . . but not report the cert to the company. They don't want to pay for it, they don't get to use it as a selling point. . .
You mean tricking an EX-employee. I assume Seagate has procedures about sensitive financial documents and Personally Identifiable Information (PII), And that employees have regular security training.
The idiot in question got engineered, but was stupid enough to send the data without even making a phone call. . . .
Mind you, hospitals aren't all that sterile. In an article less than a year old, it was estimated that ~4% of hospital patients acquired infections while in the hospital. And having family members on a hospital staff, I've experienced how infectious diseases tend to concentrate in hospitals. MRSA infections of surgical wounds come immediately to mind. ..but less serious infectious diseases seem to cluster in hospitals as well, like colds and influenzas. . .
The question of Whitelisting gets more complicated in areas with growing cell networks. When new, legitimate towers pop up, there's likely a way to identify them. I'm sure each provider has a nomenclature for their towers.
I also suspect the cops running a Stingray would know this, and set the ID as something similar.
Because a Cell Tower ID of "Police Surveillance Van #42" would be kind of a giveaway.
Then again, I also wouldn't be surprised if most Stingrays aren't using a default name: the common practice on programmable road signs of using default user/password combos suggests the cops might not change from defaults here, either. . .
. . ..I've long since known to put any app on one for anything else but reading or other entertainment. And that's the nice thing about the Amazon App Store. By eschewing Google Play. . . . none of my PHONE apps can show up on my Fire reader/pseudo-tablet.
Hint: No lock screen. OF COURSE it's not even close to secure.
. . . . all the lamp-posts in DC have been changed out from the standard pole-and-boom to strictly vertical posts.
It's as if the expected the citizens to one day rise up, and do the hoisting. . . . (evil grin)
You have no idea. I'm currently getting static about patching glibc and OpenSSL outside the "normal monthly patch cycle". Which was 3 versions behind **BEFORE** GHOST and DROWN surfaces. . .
Really ? That would explain the really high violent crime rates in Utah, which is about as ethnically diverse as a loaf of Wonder Bread. Except they're about half the national average.
You get high crime with large deltas in income over a small area. . .
And if they catch you at it, you get what you deserve. Falsifying a personal document is generally grounds for immediate dismissal in ANY business.
Don't want to sign on the dotted line ? Then don't. And look elsewhere for employment. . .
No, we'll colonize once China and the US join to form the Confederation. Downside: Creepy guys in suits with Blue Hands. Upside: Companions. . .

Technically, only tropical jungles and savannas have the environment and resources to sustain homo sapiens sapiens. It is, after all, the niche we evolved it.
Other environments require technological modifications to allow successful human habitation. Perhaps you've heard of them: Clothing. Buildings. Et cetera.
We, as a species, modify the local environment to suit habitation. We can already sustain life deep underwater, and in extreme Arctic conditions. Space and other planets ability to sustain life are technological and political problems, but are eminently doable if and when the decision is made to proceed. . .
That's great if you can do that. Some of us aren't being given the choice, we've been told that the Enterprise WILL be updated to Win10 at an unspecified date in the future, like it or not. . .
I've only recently started getting Chipped cards, and in any case not all merchants have enabled their readers to use chip-based cards.
Reports I've seen combined blaming the Christmas shopping season (i.e. don't slow down the cash flow), engineering issues, and MasterCard and Visa reportedly being late in publishing at least SOME of the documentation.
Well, traditionally, the method of execution would be being beaten to death in a pit lined with organic compost.
Or, if they wanted to be politically significant, TNT Suppositories.
(Now, waiting to see if anyone gets the reference. . . . . )
. . ..when the same regimes that prefer low-wage labor also prefer that their near-slaves also lack the means to successfully prosecute a religion.
Silicon Valley: good luck taking on the Elites with their armed Security, when all you've got is, at best, Molotov Cocktails, zip-guns, and the occasional legal weapon.
Plus Walled communities, control of the telecom infrastructure, and increasingly ubiquitous surveillance. . .
Well, we can likely blame them for Waxy Yellow Buildup, the Heartbreak of Psoriasis, and all those other things they used to push product on daytime TV. . .

A solution for electronics/neuron interface has been around for several years. I know one of the scientists involved, and yes, the research was at least partially funded by DARPA. As I recall, the emphasis was on restoring function to combat-wounded soldiers with brain injury. . .
The above post brings an ENTIRELY new meaning to "Slashdot Flame War" (grin)

I was thinking in terms of getting the RARBG tool needed for entry into the network. That's still likely a chokepoint.
. . .aka the infamous "Slashdot Effect" DDOS. Let's see how that works out (grin)

Ahem. Do you have a PERMIT on file for asking Nationality ? 20 years for that. . . . (grin)
