I read this article a couple of days ago, and since then I've been pretty much stumbling around stupified. I wander into another room and five minutes later find myself standing up against a wall wondering how I got there and when. Where the hell did all this totalitarianism come from all of a sudden? IPSec and ssh cracked?!?
I don't see this stuff when I go outside my little apartment, but it seems everywhere I go on-line is wrapping me up in a tight ball coated with an amalgam of NSA + Nazi SS + Soviet KGB + MI6 + Orwell's 1984 + ... outright and blatantly assaulting each and every one of us every second we're on-line. The VPN that recent employers put in place to secure their networks and my and others' work on them was all just a charade. Every time I logged into on-line banking was no more secure and private as clear text to any potential totalitarian prying eye control freak.
Who the hell is pulling the lever here, and why are they pulling it, and why are they getting away with this? Whose crazy idea is it that life is supposed to be like this?
I believe the article also pointed out the crackers still have trouble with tor (I'm not sure whether you mentioned it). Good! Get everyone you know up to speed on it as fast as they can, before it's too late.
I'm assuming it's not already too late. It's all we appear to have left.
We do it because the purpose of the forfeiture process is to protect public safety and relieve neighborhoods of rampant drug dealing.
Liar, liar, pants on fire. I'll also add armed robbery, and chutzpah. I'm not Jewish, but it fits. I hope we're beginning to force these bottom feeders back into the mud, but I'm resigned to the fact it may take some time. Good to see good people win one.
The basic stated values of the US are something worth spreading and perpetuating.
In software terms, that's the plan. We need to worry about how that plan was implemented.
In corporate terms, those basic stated values are PR speak, totally unrelated to what's going on in board of directors' chambers. You voted in the board.
Both Roman and British empires would have said the same thing about their basic stated values. American Empire carries on the fine tradition.
Some hackers hacked into an insecure *private* company, threatened "something, something, movie theaters" and suddenly this is a "grave threat".
I read it somewhere quoting #GOP that if you even lived near a theatre showing it, you're too close. Pretty stupid, but perfect if you want to discredit them. Who said it really?

Please, do go investigate. Do an experiment, and report back your results. It's a moral imperative! You must enlighten, else you're helping the forces of Darkness.

Do any of you realize that this library had someone watching CHILD PORN at it?
The linked article doesn't mention child porn. Megan Fox's own YouTube video where she rants about someone looking at porn on the library computers, doesn't once mention child porn.
She accused the library of covering up an incident of someone looking at child pornography, and she forced a re-vote on the issue by having the Public Access Bureau declare a board meeting illegal because it was held on Lincoln’s birthday.
No sticks in this fire. Just trying to un-muddy waters.
This doesn't show the grave, mega-scary, super-threat of cyber-terrorism. It shows that Sony has some exceptionally lazy security and IT people.
I want to believe that's unjustified. Everything I've read points to Sony being exceptionally cheap, resenting having to actually employ sufficient staff! Perhaps they had good people, but they had no-where near enough to handle the operation. Am I mistaken? Did they have enough people with the necessary skills, and they got lazy? Where's the proof?
The tree's not poisoned by the forces going after AGs, so it's clean. If their prosecutors had anything to do with the breakin, then it would be poisoned, I hope. IANAL.
