Yeah, a few companies have threatened to sue. The Clinton campaign didn't sue Wikileaks. The US hasn't sued them, but Microsoft or Google will? Seriously, get a clue.
"It could simply have been, we'll disclose this to you, if you promise not to sue us for posting it publicly after 90 days. That would be quite reasonable."
lol Not a chance in hell. There's no case to sue if they go public with the vulnerabilities. They want something else.
They're looking at it, that it's very important, really important - and he can't believe what his people are finding. But in the end he'll let businesses do whatever they want.
Dealing with UK export laws. I've had too many conversations with our trade compliance people about restrictions when having a dev team in the UK and pen testers in the US.
The headline here is misleading, according to the Reg this "white hat" "then went a step further and used the Lee County supervisor's username and password to gain access to other password protected areas." When he used the credentials that way he was no longer a white hat.
It's called "stack ranking" and it doesn't work period.
From an article in Vanity Fair: “Every current and former Microsoft employee I interviewed—every one—cited stack ranking as the most destructive process inside of Microsoft, something that drove out untold numbers of employees,” Eichenwald writes. “If you were on a team of 10 people, you walked in the first day knowing that, no matter how good everyone was, 2 people were going to get a great review, 7 were going to get mediocre reviews, and 1 was going to get a terrible review,” says a former software developer. “It leads to employees focusing on competing with each other rather than competing with other companies.”

"The manuals stated that video feeds were scrambled using a method similar to that used to protect the signals of subscriber-only TV channels. Analysts decoded the images using open-source code “freely available on the internet” — a program known as AntiSky."
Isn't it funny how Republicans love to extol the virtues of the Constitution and freedom and then go around and restrict freedom and violate the Constituion.
It's quite certain that AV software flaws have been attacked by bad guys, but that hardly means that your company is *more* vulnerable with the software than without it. Any sufficiently complex software has vulnerabilities.
... government standardization would be a good thing since the vendors obviously aren't going to do it themselves. Proprietary connectors mostly help the vendors with lock-in due to patents which only helps to pad the balance sheets of those vendors.

We did Basic in high school and then Pascal my first year of college. Then on to assembly (IBM 360 mainframe) and then C.
This isn't a crusade about openness, this is a crusade to hurt the US. Notice how Wikileaks doesn't leak anything about Russia? Or China? Or ...

That's some twisted logic that to "seize" something it must not be available to the owner any longer.
Rulings like this will KILL US cloud providers. trying to sell services outside the US.
Oh get real. Companies make it appear that nearly all income is generated overseas in order to get around that. It's mostly a scam.

Given that most cancers develop after a person's childbearing years.

Different rulings from different courts in the US. Let's just say the answer is not clear at this point. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I'm sure you don't see the irony of your response.
Because NYPD would only provided edited footage and someone had to view all 304 hours to deal with "exempt portions" of the recording.
If what Apple did is legal or not, but if it paid only 1.8% tax on its profits that's wrong and it should have to pay more.

It's not even close to what Nixon would have been impeached for.
