Tough words from a company that bent right over for the federal government. **** off AT&T. Your company and service blows.

****ed up part is, career criminals will just figure out other stuff (ssh into a computer with proper encryption)
Meanwhile, private sector has and will always be ahead on so many things, including digital security.
So those who are truely doing bad will stay behind real encryption while regular people will sit there with a backdoor that will be exploited by those who sit there and find ways to break security.
Also, I'm not sure if celebrity is the same as historical figure....

lol hamsterdam.
I don't have cable, and there is only so much on netflix... And I usually have something on in the background, so I went back through and watched it.
I think part of the reason I never got REAL into it is because of the lack of continuity.
Same characters... and yeah stuff carried over... but its not like a big story begining to end.
One season they deal with this, then who ever gets transferred and they deal with that. Then they are at the docks.... Then all that is over and they deal with something else.
a lot of the characters may carry over.... But it doesn't really keep building, at least not like it could. Most seasons are their own issues that rise and fall within themselves.
In some ways reminds me of Dexter. Where each season Dexter deals with some new threat/issue that starts episode 1 and is ended by the last.
Granted, most shows need to have each season be somewhat self contained... and they do reference past seasons... But as enjoyable as it is it lacks growth between season.
Edit: also super annoyed by the... I guess how can I post this without "circumventing the curse filter" "shooooooooooooooot" by the two different characters.

(its a compilation, so eventually it will possibly become a spoiler... but you can watch at least the first bit to get the idea)

All I could think was.... Thats not what its like to buy things from a hardware store....
When has ANY hardware store had that much experience and opinion on such a random product.
Then again, one time I was in a home depot in New Hampshire buying random **** to jerry rig onto a race car... The clerk asked how he could help us and we told him expecting nothing (one time I asked a local HD if cured bondo was flammable because we were going to be backing CF on top of it... they disappear around a corner and when we peaked in they were severely confused, reading the fine print on the can... Yeah I can do that too) Surprisingly enough clerk started walking us around showing us all kinds of **** that would actually work for what we were trying to accomplish. So maybe small towns and east coast home depot employees have actually used tools...
We did have a Remington gun powder actuated nail gun at my last job... But no instructions or info on how to use it so I was always kinda too timid to break it out. Should have found a reason to use it. I know at least once we almost did.

Just close port 22 and don't forward ssh to another port and that can easily be avoided.
And it depends on what part of the private sector you are speaking. There are a ton of small to medium businesses/corporations that don't have the first clue of Internet security. Even large corporations with big IT departments with heavy IS cannot protect against exploits in code if a site, app, or program is not securely coded. Big corporations do get hacked more than you'd think; they just don't go broadcasting it to the world and keep it in house.

Rewatching Breaking Bad and Gale made his first apperance right after I first read this post. I've always found it neat that he was in my two favorite dramas series. That is pretty dang cool when you think about. "Yeah, I was in the Wire. Yeah, I was in Breaking Bad". So cool!
Yup. A lot of people here are making broad-based assumptions about security in the private sector vs. government sectors. I've worked for two large government agencies in the Internet era and these guys NEVER get hacked, principally because their systems are closed systems (even though they connect transparently to the Internet). I still marvel how they do it. But it does go to show that if you have protocols in place for both your security systems and your employees, a strong, clean computer network can be achieved.
The OPM hack is the other side of the coin. I complained to them for years about the weak password system they were using, to no avail. Being a federal retiree, all my PII was compromised. I have prematurely taken action to join any lawsuits as a plaintiff that eventually will be filed, probably later this year.

Man...I bet the NSA would love this kind of "surveillance".
I've also found this: http://www.cnet.com/news/samsungs-warning-our-smart-tvs-record-your-living-room-chatter/
Basically, have fun living with the fact that hackers could be listening to all that **** you said in front of your TV last night...provided you said anything at all.
Not nearly as bad as what Eric Schmidt (CEO of Google) said some years back.

If he isn't doing anything wrong with his social security number, ATM card, and pin, I can have it.

Snowed in, so I am starting to watch Mr. Robot. This shouldn't raise my paranoia level about all this stuff.

yeah... you kinda got both of those points I was making backwards.
I am saying criminals can just SSH into their own machines from their phones and keep things encrypted on their computer with no backdoor like they will have to build into IOs/Android,
And I am not talking about private sectors or government sectors remaining secure... I am talking about private sector hackers being the ones who almost always figure out security exploits.... (also don't use the password dragon. Apparently that is in the top 20 lol.)
So my point is not that governments can't lock down their computers... or that many IT companies can...
Its that if they require any encryption on your cell phone to have a mechanism to decrypt it for google/your phone manufacturer/the government that leaves a hole in security people will figure out how to exploit. At that point, random people who lose/have their phones stolen are vulnerable, while people who make their livings committing crime will just learn to use a different method, like tunneling through a secure shell into a remote machine that is encrypted.
As far as "Just close port 22 and don't forward ssh to another port and that can easily be avoided. "
I am not sure exactly what you mean. If your saying keep ssh assigned to 22, but close that port... Just don't run an ssh server? Its easy enough to not have on your machine. If you mean run SSH on a different port.... People all over the world are combing through basically all ip address and all ports. Its ridiculous. Set up a monitor for the port you are using and a new IP will try and connect every couple of minutes. Much better to disable root login, have software to ban repeated failures and requiring the use of public key identification
That not even hackers, or anything though. And its ridiculous the article keeps talking about how its the manufacturers fault...
"Shodan crawls the Internet at random looking for IP addresses with open ports. If an open port lacks authentication and streams a video feed,"
Where talking about people who are setting up video feeds that are accessible outside of their own network, don't require any kind of password or other authentication.... And are blown away their privacy is compromised. Its the same as having no walls around your house, leaving all the blinds open and being shocked your neighbors can see you. Don't setup a stream of data to the internet if you don't at least kind of get what your doing. Take the time to read the instructions and look through the setup menu and set a ****ing password.(also don't use Dragon, apparently that is in the top 20. Also no starwars characters)

That awkward moment when she tells you to quit staring at her booty, but she don't have a booty.

"I'm not staring at your non-existent booty, I'm staring into space, wishing you had a booty I could stare at."
Not awkward at all. Tell her exactly like it is, get *****-slapped right across the face, and drive home alone in physical pain after she kicks you in the nuts and hails a cab.
Simple.
