So basically for modern stuff they're moving towards USB-C, which various Androids (such as Samsung S8) are already using. The only difference is that you also need a proprietary Apple cable to make it work, because someone has to pay for that fancy new 5-billion dollar building.
FireEye analyzed a Microsoft Word document where attackers used the arbitrary code injection to download and execute a Visual Basic script that contained PowerShell commands.
And this is well in line with my going to the restroom to jack off once or twice an hour to "release stress"
Nothing better for a relaxing jack off session than the sweet fragrance of multiple poop essences all dancing together in the air like the elusive light of aurora borealis
Regardless of that, it suggests that even if you are less active (and therefore twice as likely to die) your odds of death still aren't very high in an absolute sense.
Interestingly, humans on average today are more active physically than wild animals. For instance, geese that embark on a 1500+ miles trip every year only fly for a few minutes every day in the months before. They move less than us but they are more fit, and they don't take multivitamins and kale smoothies.
Hence anybody promoting a counting-metric here is extremely disconnected from reality
Actually, it's people who say "counting-metric" that are disconnected from reality since it means nothing. Is it some kind of direct translation from Polish or whatever retarded language you speak?
Anyways, there's no reason for you to throw a tantrum. Why don't you remove the stick you've got up your ass and contribute something to the discussion? You're not funny, you're not witty, and you're not good at being smug; stick to real content.
They were the datamining scum-of-the-earth bastards before Silicon Valley even invented the term for it. Their entire business is founded upon the notion of putting people into indentured servitude via debt.
I don't think that's true. Equifax incompetence aside, keeping track of credit-related events is important, and not just for borrowing money but also for any kind of contract where credit history matters (e.g. big insurance policy, job in a bank, etc).
You forget the trickle-down economy. When the lawyers make millions suing companies for losses experienced by someone else, they can afford to hire pool boy to clean the pubic hair and soiled condoms from their infinity pool filters. Then the pool boy can afford to buy a $5 iTune gift card for that special someone who's gonna spend it on Kanye West albums. In turn, Kanye West can use that money to buy more drugs and create more scandals at the MTV music awards, which attracts advertisers and viewers.
I also agree. And it's not unrealistic; let's just look at credit card fraud where it's not pretty muck risk free for the customer. With the proper incentives, the financial services industry can do their homework.
Was the Equifax breach big enough, and of enough consequence to actually change anything.
Depends. Did it impact Trump or any of his close family and friends? If not, then no.
Why "trumpize" this? Politicians on both sides have been making decisions based on self-interest forever, that's nothing new. And I suspect that if you personally were in the oval office you'd do the same. That's just human nature; it probably happens in your workplace. Odds are higher of having your company support the "pink ribbon" campaign if a woman is in charge of the social committee; if it's a man, it'll be movember. There's nothing wrong with that.
The simplest solution would probably be to have a government database where you can type in a Name and SSN and it pops up a picture and public key of the person in question.
I don't think you know what kind of systems the government is using. The people who know the most about you are the IRS, and they still rely on software that was running before man (allegedly) set foot on the moon.
Even when they try to modernize it's a joke. Look at the complete fubar of the 2 billion dollars Obamacare website.
Big brother concerns aside, there's just no way this kind of database could happen anytime soon. Facebook or Google are more likely to get that level of accuracy than good ol' Uncle Sam.
It's not a matter of increased security, it's simply a matter of following known best practices and being diligent in applying patches and hotfixes.
Equifax are complete morons. Last year they settled a lawsuit because of another security "breach": someone figured out that customers could login using a PIN made of the last 4 digits of their SSN and the 4 digits of their birth year. We're not talking about military-grade security being defeated by criminal mastermind. Those guys are complete and absolute incompetents.
They could fix their entire set of weaknesses and prevent further exploits by reading the bullet points of a CISSP tutorial and following them. That's all there is to it.
When anyone accuses you of something you accuse them of it 10x.
It's easier when your adversary is a corrupt, thieving, lying piece of garbage. At this point I'm starting to wonder about the real involvment of the Russians in the election; if they are indeed smart as chess players, maybe what they did was make sure that the Democrats picked the worst possible candidate instead of the guy that clearly embodies the real liberal values.
But when it comes to Equifax, this comparison hardly applies because Equifax are not evil, they're merely incompetent, and have been for a long time. They're just like Diebold (the makers of those hilarious MS-Access based voting machines); once you start scratching the surface you just can't help but freak out when you realize how fucking retarded they are.
You use data like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support, rather than illumination.
I'm sure you've been waiting for an opportunity to shoehorn that little inspirational nugget in one of your comments. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well as you would have hoped because
1) it sounds as corny as the text in a discount Hallmark Get Well Soon card and 2) I didn't "use data", I merely copy-pasted stuff from the first result that comes up when one googles "top 10 cve", which even by your self-righteous, biased standards can hardly be construed as being dishonest
I don't want to prevent you from living in that tinfoil hat fantasy land where every piece of information you see that doesn't support your preconceived ideas must be planted by some "shill" (if such thing even existed for real on Slashdot). The world is a beautiful mosaic and irrational angry tools like you are part of it. Just try to avoid leaking your Pinterest material in your Slashdot comments and everything will be fine.
"Said it before, as these are stocking stuffer for my sons, one the best charger/data cords out there." Huh, a fidget cube is also a charger/data cord?
This is depressing. They don't even try to make it convincing. It says more about customers in general than about crooked vendors.
No idea, but that's the point. Citing CVE (or any equivalent) listings as a "security gauge" is silly one way or another.
As opposed to just say "there must be secret bugs they don't tell us about"? How do you rank that? Arbitrary suspicion factor based on your own guesswork?
Slashdot Mirror
Does Apple have a recent record of breaches or poor security?
you mean, like the fappening?
You buy Apple to LOOK cool, not to actually BE cool -- you understand that right?
That was true in 2014. Now you buy Apple because the storage on your previous Apple product is full and you have no other way to get more space.
The headphones are fine, you just need to buy the Monster headphone cables to connect them. Then they'll sound purer, fuller, and richer.
You forgot "danceabler"

Let's see how many comments on this story will NOT be jokes about Microsoft Windows or Batman
Those guys are playing with evil forces.
FireEye analyzed a Microsoft Word document where attackers used the arbitrary code injection to download and execute a Visual Basic script that contained PowerShell commands.
RTF -> VBScript -> PowerShell -> Chtulhu awakens
Bats crash into things they can't detect, who would have guessed. This is something to ponder on my next walk by the lake.
If you can move around for about 30 minutes, every half hour or so, you'll be much less likely to die
And as a bonus, the motion-activated lights always stay on, so you are no longer interrupted by disrupting periods of darkness.

Lawyers are the linchpin of our economy.

Exactly! As someone affected by the Equifax breach, Best Buy, Target and at least 2-3 others my SSN has been breached way too many times
Why the fuck did you give your SSN to Best Buy? I probably spend $7k / year there and they don't even have my disposable email address.
Was the Equifax breach big enough, and of enough consequence to actually change anything.
Depends. Did it impact Trump or any of his close family and friends? If not, then no.

Meaningless statistic is meaningless. And the one posting it is stupid.
Then why don't you provide meaningful content instead of just bitching about things? Oh wait, I know why.
No idea, but that's the point. Citing CVE (or any equivalent) listings as a "security gauge" is silly one way or another.
