A political opponent of the current Russian regime posted embarrassing photos
I haven't looked to see about which exact photos these are, but frequently they are posted initially by the persons being exposed, or related parties, then discovered out in the open or by using OSInt methods connecting social accounts to particular people. It would not surprise me to see the very same photos still up, in accounts held those on the side of power. They are brazen mofos.
Re: This is horrible. I sort of agree: "underwhelmed". -- But I don't believe the charges, nor are they criminal, nor are those charged going to be handed over! This is JUST a stunt to try and show SOME results from year-long WITCH HUNT.
IKR? It amazes me how everyone in the comments is always screaming about how this is deeply related to the Trump campaign. Oh wait...
If everyone who doesn't like Trump were a paid attacker, the standard of living would have shot up dramatically.
Russians surely have a right to an opinion about the US. They also have no right to not be exposed as not actual Russian individuals, but as a state organization pretending to be US citizens and going to great lengths to obfuscate their true nature. Same as any other info campaign.
Trump and his campaign have done some dumbass things wrt Russian involvement. Of course, if one just let an investigation roll, everyone might see how little or how much involvement their was, and whether it is innocuous or not. The bigger issue, really, is the administration's twisting the rule of law, lying, and obfuscating (and their sheer mouthiness in public, for flavor). For argument at the least, say Trump has done zero wrong in connection with Russian actors. His behavior beyond that is appalling. (Just like it has been his entire life.)
1. I guess the gov is lucky there seems to be no ISDS "remedy" for Huawei here. Probably Cisco as well.
2. Pretty sure both Chinese and US gov could get Huawei to secretly backdoor device encryption for them. Oh well.
3. This is oddly the only threat and vulnerability the gov cares to disclose, but has not been noted by any security researchers of which i am aware, and they generally beat corps and govs to the punch by years.
No, it's because in our form of government, the government is supposed to be the collective hand of the people to smack down bullshit that is larger and more widespread than any people can handle themselves.
The only way for the population to control any such things would be to take illegal measures, fire, and pitchforks to every bad actor ever, and suffer mass casualties. (There were actually times when things like this happened, and they usually did not work out in favor of the public or workers.) Most people would not have a job doing anything else.

I am not specifically referring to "blue". That one is rarely worth much consideration, but yes, there are those who seem to feel that anything Techdirt writes about, they should have an extreme opposite and illucid opinion. (Also, Techdirt is Leftist with a capital L, and promotes theft / infringement / whatever.)

This is a phenomenon which puzzles me at times, the trend to be pro-litigant in cases involving things like IP. So, in being "pro-IP", no factor other than "who is the aggressor" comes into play in choosing who is right or what is best for an IP regime.
I swear i am sure it wouldn't even matter if the defendant possessed a much older version of the same (stupid, usually) patent.
It was injected into servers where it did not belong. That's malware. Whether it was delivered specifically by malware dropper or placed on there server manually is irrelevant.
Well, that is true, but between the two, i would take ads. I have taken few ads, ever, anywhere. Some sites get allowances. Although i find ad-blockers to be a last filter after script/domain blocking.
Re: Re: Re: So, Site visitors are cows to be milked?
When people get used to computationally-intensive bog down on their systems, they won't be looking for a problem anymore. That means all sorts of badly designed regular malware might be ignored. It also means a hijack of the expected mining could be doing anything which is computationally-intensive. Like cracking encryption keys or brute-forcing passwords on a network that should be secure, or helping to DDoS the hell out of some target.
