It would be interesting to know who made these complaints to Uber and who leaked the Uber’s Zendesk screenshots. It would also be interesting to know why they leaked to BuzzFeed News instead of the police sexual assault unit. Might a good suspect reside at "Chariot for Women".
This place is totally trolled by the microsofties. Witness all the slashvertisments for Microsoft product and all the down votes for anything remotely critical of windows.
Why not replace it with one of your own choice. Oh wait Mr. anonymous Troll, coming from Windows land you aren't aware that you can do this. With Windows Bill and Fester makes that decision for you.
Lets have a pole - how many people use Linux exclusively for their main Desktop at home. As it's virtually impossible to avoid that other OS in academia and at work, as it's the standard and to prevent viruses, so I've been told:)
@Anonymous Coward: "I'm not sure why you're being modded down. I haven't heard anyone on Slashdot talk about an attack like this before. The basics is it brute forces the PINs. If a PIN fails, it cuts power before the firmware can update the unlock attempts counter".
Some peoples mod policy leave me puzzled too.
@Anonymous Coward: "That was fixed in iOS 9 though"
Seeing as it involved a hardware hack, I would have thought that was difficult. Maybe the FBI and Cellebrite are using some kind of varient. Do you have a link to where the iOS 9 fix was posted?
Slashdot: "Clicking on the email apparently installs malware such as Cryptlocker ransomware on the recipient's computing device"
Original article: "clicking on the link would install malware such as Cryptolocker, which is a form of ransomware that will encrypt files on Windows-based computers."

Not the same, a more apt analogy would be buying a latte, opening the lid and then discovering you've picked up a dose from the minimum-waged servitor from behind the counter.
Only if their computer is running Microsoft Windows on Intel hardware. Why is it 'computers' when Windows is involved but when a bug is discovered in say for instance Apple iOS or Linux, there is no problem mentioning the underlying Operating System and Platform - Microsoft Windows - the OS that still can't tell the difference between OPEN and RUN. It doesn't take a scientist to figure this out.
There's nothing defective about Internet security, it does exactly what it was designed to do, that is connect computers using an ubiquitous networking protocol. The problem lies with the defective computers that are at either end of the connection.
The solution is to totally ban Microsoft Windows in Hospitals:

Haaa, that got me laughing, I only had the three managers myself
Dear slashdot, whenever I see 'cyber' in a sentence I always wonder what technically clueless idiot got paid to type it up.
Do you mean, yet more malware that only runs on fully patched Microsoft Windows, including the latest version.
"In one scenario, a user is represented by an African-American female avatar who is being angrily harassed by a white avatar." ref
How would Stanford University’s diversity department deal with this scenario: link

How exactly did Mumblehard initially infect the Linux and BSD systems?

There apps are only as secure as the underlying Operating System and PLATFORM they run on, which in the case of WinTEL means not secure at all.
Something similar to this: Black Box device can brute-force iOS 8.1 PINs

How does Budgie-Remix compare to Lubuntu?
"Wim Coekaerts .. turned Oracle into a Linux distributor with the launch of its Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) clone, Oracle Linux."
Don't you mean, stripped of Red Hat copyright notices and fraudulently distributed RHEL as its own. How appropriate he's now moving the Microsoft.
it's always nice to be corrected by some anonymous coward :)
