    Define "safe browsing", is that the same as getting a drive-by infection from a popular website?

    Sounds like the perfect excuse not to have a disaster recovery response plan in place, "well this one obscure instance the plan would be moot so why bother have one".

    Everyone uses Facebook as the example, it is the new thing still, remember MySpace, FB's explosion isn't new. Social media sites come and go, the inventors of said sites ride the wave until it peters out then onto the next unless they're a one hit wonder.

    That could be true, but since passing of ACA we are now required to pretty much use exchanges what choices do we have?

    In this case say my identity is compromised, I have recourse say it happens on the Fed exchange I will have zero recourse.

    If there are extra packages installed that MS is considering using to track how these markets move, distribution models methods, sites used, etc etc.

  7. Re:Interdasting... on White House Proposal Urges All Federal Websites To Adopt HTTPS · · Score: 1

    If the stream is hardened go for the lame duck.

    The new source will be hackers once again taking over servers and serving up or injecting their own content.

    We still have admins around that can't properly implement a webserver let alone ensure HTTPS is setup properly.

  8. Re:Breaking news: Republicans against HTTPS on White House Proposal Urges All Federal Websites To Adopt HTTPS · · Score: 1

    If any 3 letter agencies have had their hands in it like other encryption projects it's probably safe to assume they have a method to make HTTPS sniffing decrypting a trivial exercise.

    Ask yourself what you would be more likely to transmit over an HTTPS connection aside from financial details.

    So you don't think that gov has resources to still MITM your traffic by using HTTPS?

    I'm seeing this currently daily without everything being HTTPS.

  11. Re:Only on some... on White House Proposal Urges All Federal Websites To Adopt HTTPS · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of reasons not to put everything on the web under https.

    For one standards, we can't even have browsers or site admins agree on a set of standards and stick to them. Compound that by HTTPS compliance in both the sites and then browsers. "Sorry my site only supports Brand X browser", Popup in browser "This site has a questionable security certificate".

  12. Not Surprised on New Site Mocks Bad Artwork On Ebook Covers · · Score: 1

    My wife is an eauthor and the houses that she signed with would usually take the lead when it came to cover designs. I can only think of one of her books she got to do (made me do for her).

    Just respond using the lawyers own definition, "with the amount of personal drone use getting media attention the manner in which drones can be used is in fact news, based on current events and relevant.

    Since when does a FOIA request have to be about something newsworthy? By that metric any FOIA request should be denied due to it not being "new".

    I've done the same, I do still enjoy mainstream but I don't purchase or even illegally download mainstream, instead I choose to support indie artists and have started listening to more electronic (dubstep) though I hate that term.

    This

    Once we had a security audit, though I know I shouldn't have I ran a man in the middle on them and watched their packets, as I'd see them going places if I thought it was insecure I'd either bring the service offline or make it report garbage on their scans, to my knowledge they were never aware. They ended up dinging us on something stupid that wasn't even a vuln we had an out of date resource that was intranet facing and you'd have had to have physical network access to exploit it.

    It was Blumenthals AOL account that was hacked, and in that hack there were several emails from Clinton that were concerning State business, while technically her server may not have been compromised, her emails were.

    The only alternative now is to force people to turn over their private emails as long as they're government employees.

    I don't have a problem with that.

    The American public has been doing that for how long now, and without knowledge it was going on?
