It makes you wonder how many of these "hackers" are just LifeLock employees or other people in trusted positions who just took the data home with them?
(I remember my first job in healthcare. At 19 - pre-HIPAA - I used to browse the medical records of friends, family and famous people on the hospital network when I was bored and alone at work, and it occurred to me once how easy it would be to just save the "best" ones to a floppy each night.)
There's money to be made by traditional phone manufacturers here. I typically rest my phone up against (checks) some sort of Polycom desktop phone, which I've never used and still has its peel-off plastic on the status screen. If only that could charge my phone from the Polycom instead of it uselessly taking up nearly a square foot of valuable desk space.
>> because features of traditional cars, like dashboards and steering columns, will not be necessary in robocars
That makes the question easy. Robocars will be cheaper after fully autonomous cars - with zero driver intervention - are allowed. In other words, probably never.
>> autonomous cars are more likely to be shared and constantly in use
Not my car. I pay the extra money to have my own seats that no one else's bum touches, my own cup holders that never hold alcohol or drippy milkshakes, and my own seat fabrics that only my kids drop their toys onto.
MySQL used to have a forkable (thank [diety]) open source code with a special commercial license if you wanted to embed the code in your application. Seemed to work for them pre-Oracle.

>> background checks are flagrantly and intentionally weak
Background checks really aren't much use. Remember how fast the Charleston Church Shooting story (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston_church_shooting) vanished from the news last month when after was revealed that Roof (the shooter) had passed a federal (FBI) background check before purchasing his weapon.
>> US presidents limousine is almost comically armoured
The usual way to attack vehicles, buildings, and their occupants seems to be explosives, not firearms. Just ask anyone who's served in Iraq, Google the Oklahoma City incident, or look up how the mafia has been dispatching elected officials and judges in Italy. In any case you can't say that challenge is unique to America. (However, given how cheap armor is compared to other protection options, I don't think we're getting a bad deal here.)
Non-residents are also barred from being mayor of Chicago. That didn't stop Rahm Emanuel (Obama's chief of staff) from finding a way of invaliding a court ruling and doing it anyway.
Thanks, Martha. It's good to see you keeping busy on SlashDot.
My travel advice?
#1) Always pack a 15-foot extension cord and multi-outlet adapters. Most people are cool about sharing an outlet with you if you both 1) let them continue to charge and 2) find a way to sit 15 feet outside their personal space.
#2) Stay the hell away from O'Hare (in Chicago). In the city of "don't want to talk to nobody no-one sent" you aren't going to find any outlets.
Er...how would they do that? Fire a weapon into a smokey background? Jam the radio...in a way that couldn't possibly interfere with other emergency communications? Or what?
I'd still rather have them do THIS when the systems aren't too popular than have some random swatter roll a minivan with 5 kids because he mistyped the IP address of the guy who just beat his speedrun. (Where "THIS" is a controlled test.)
Disagree, in fact I'll probably shake their hands at DEFCON (assuming they're there again).
The fact that they demonstrated vulnerabilities and then showed automakers multiple ways how to avoid such things (#1 firewall or separate networks; #2 technology to detect and kill anomalous signals) and STILL the automakers shipped defective product...is the problem.
>> Will this video help to drive home the problem to the public?
No, but I'd expect a few class action lawsuits will get their attention. I've read a few attorneys' periodicals warming up trial lawyers for IoT product liability, and automakers and their big pockets are sure to be some of their first targets (I think I've seen one settlement already happen).
>> IT needs to do like plumbers, electricians, and HVAC tradespeople: They need licensing across the board with a vendor independent group doing the licensing.
This exists in the IT security field (SANS, ISC2, COMPTIA, etc.) and in some IT niches like managed file transfer ( http://cftpcert.com/ ).

>> Are there lists of compromised identities? I'd like to see if I'm on it.
Sure, just post your name, social security number, credit card number and PIN here and we'll look it up.

How is this uglier than child prostitution, the rapid increase of murder in inner cities, or...?
I get that some level of executive security is probably a good thing, but does the Secret Service really need 1,500 people on staff?

>> limit who is able to see videos based on their age and gender
How the hell is this supposed to work with transgender options that pretty much let anybody identify as anybody?
Is Facebook getting another filter ready to screen in and out by skin tone and eye color too?
>> if security and privacy are a concern, maybe iPhone isn't really such a bad option
Dude, is Google down today? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=iphone+ma...
Then look up WireLurker. Then MASQUE-D. And if you jailbreak a phone, pretty much all bets are off.

He should have looked into how insiders scammed McDonald's Monopoly contests for about $13M first.

Unless you equipped it with a weapons system, I'd expect to see nothing but a steel chassis 400 yards from the starting point.
