  8. Europa was discovered in 1610 by Galileo... on Discovery Increases Odds of Life On Europa · · Score: 3, Informative

    and a series of flybys began in the 1970s. Pioneer 10 and 11 visited Jupiter in 1973 and 1974 respectively.

    Two Voyager probes traveled through the Jovian system in 1979 providing more detailed images of Europa's icy surface. The images caused many scientists to speculate about the possibility of a liquid ocean underneath.

    Starting in 1995, the Galileo probe began a Jupiter orbiting mission that lasted for eight years, until 2003, and provided the most detailed examination of the Galilean moons to date. It included, Galileo Europa Mission and Galileo Millennium Mission, with numerous close flybys of Europa.

    Neglected indeed.
    Not.

    Konten sind gefährdet jeden Tag und ich weiß nicht wie es euch geht, aber meine E-Mail-Konto zu meiner rechtlichen Proxy. Eine Mail von meinem Konto gesendet wird, in vielen Fällen so gut wie eine rechtsgültig unterschriebene Dokument. Wenn ich wollte, in einem 24-Stunden-Zeitraum. Ich konnte leeren meine Bankkonten, zu liquidieren und übertragen mein Vermögen im Ausland, sichern $ 50.000 Kredit-und wahrscheinlich laufen bis über $ 100k in Schulden, die alle mit nur Zugriff auf meine E-Mail. In den USA gibt es viele Fälle von Schulden durch betrügerische Mittel für die das Opfer als hat haftet für und für die sie jahrelang kämpfen juristische Konsequenzen entstehen. Schlimmer noch mit weniger Informationen passiert, persönlich habe ich ein Konto von jemandem, der genug über mich wusste, dass sie sich telefonisch Wiederholungen mein Passwort durch einen Reset überzeugt gefährdet) ist charmant und b) sich für mich aus. Das war ein Augenöffner. Nein, es hätte nicht passieren dürfen. Ja, es tat.

    Für mich, wenn mein Konto war der Gegenstand der klare und anhaltende Interesse von Einrichtungen aus unbekannten Fähigkeiten und Absichten zu werden, würde ich persönlich, was mir zu tun ist die klügste, was ich zu tun und zerstören könnte die Spur, die sie führt zu my shit . Da ich nicht weiß, wer sie sind, habe ich keine Möglichkeit zu wissen, wie wahrscheinlich sie erfolgreich sein wird oder wie sie es versuchen werden. Wenn Apple nicht geben mir, was ich bezahlt ist meine geringste Sorge - Apple ist relativ glaubwürdig und ich habe Rechtsweg, aber ich habe keine Zuflucht, wenn meine Scheiße verschwindet über ausländische Grenzen in gewaschenen kriminellen Konten.

    Oder, um es anders auszudrücken, f * ck that shit - Ich ändere meine Konten.

  18. Accounts are compromised every day on Ask Slashdot: Identity Theft Attempt In Progress; How To Respond? · · Score: 1

    and I don't know about you but my email account has become my legal proxy. An mail sent from my account is in many cases as good as a legally signed document. If I wished to, in a 24-hour period. I could empty my bank accounts, liquidate and transfer my assets overseas, secure $50,000 in credit and probably run up about $100k in debt, all with only access to my email. In the USA, there are many cases of debt incurred by fraudulent means for which the victim has been deemed liable for, and for which they spend years fighting legal ramifications. Worse has happened with less information; Personally, I have had an account compromised by someone who knew enough about me that they convinced phone reps to reset my password by a) being charming and b) pretending to be me. That was an eye-opener. No it shouldn't have happened. Yes, it did.

    To me, if my account were to become the object of clear and persistent interest by entities of unknown capabilities and intent, I personally would do what to me is the most prudent thing that I could do and destroy the trail that leads them to my shit. Since I don't know who they are, I have no way of knowing how likely they are to succeed or how they will attempt it. If Apple won't give me what I paid for is the least of my worries - Apple is relatively credible and I have legal recourse, but I have no recourse when my shit disappears over foreign borders into laundered criminal accounts.

    Or, to put it another way, f*ck that shit - I'm changing my accounts.
