Why did you have to bring up the specific "CyberVor" incident that has been called out as bullshit by several people in the security industry?

Lynx over mosh?

Because even a small amount of packet loss makes SSH absolutely unusable (e.g making it completely freeze), whereas I've managed to function using mosh with around 30% packet loss.

I don't think you've ever actually been on a bad connection. mosh has saved my ass more than once when I've been stuck with a satellite connection in the middle of nowhere. (Try fixing a failing loadbalancer while on a transatlantic cruise, using SSH)

Except waiting 4 days really wont help you against chargebacks.

"could have easily resulted in a death" applies to lots of things.

Getting in your car in the morning can easily result in a death.

From a statistical point of view, this situation probably wasn't as dangerous at it seems.

Linode has probably the worst security track record in the industry. Hacked (iirc) 4 times now.

Are you actually trying to imply that having a DVD quality leak come out far before the actual movie even hit theaters isn't going to have any effect on the box office results?

BREAKING: Government has discovered nmap.

IDK what world you live in, but in my world I'm not getting actively MITMd by "amateur bad guys". If that was the case, my NAS would be the last thing I'd be worrying about.

Also, what security do you expect SSL to provide on a device with copious remote code execution vulns?

Why should I trust these guys?

This makes the ridiculous assumption that fraudsters don't use proxies, they do.

Not in the real world.

Possessing illegal bits is kind of a basic example of thought crime.

I don't see how robbing someones bank account is comparable to downloading outlawed pornography.

I wonder if this is the official stance of new relic.

That particular text seemed to be talking about hard drives, not SSDs. Most SSDs support secure erase, unless the drive is defective in which case physical destruction is in fact required.

Extracting data from a fully rewritten HDD is completely unrealistic. (Formatting obviously does not achieve this)

>Sometimes I can't enter a text password, it only accepts a fixed-length hexadecimal string (happens on Windows a lot). Again why?

Um, maybe because WEP passphrases are fixed length hexadecimal strings?

Outsourcing sensitive data destruction sounds like a EXTREMELY good idea.

Also, the fact that the faq page contains blatant lies makes this company seem even less trustworthy.

"The only way to make sure that your data will never bee accessed is by physically destroying the disk."

Why wouldn't dban work?

Except due to routing 2Gbps in Japan is way worse than 1Gbps in the US for most content.

This is hardly an issue with a system that by design allows payment reversals. If you get defrauded, just chargeback.

USCYBERCOM is only responsible for .mil networks. DHS is in charge of the security of .gov networks.

And that 40% is still enough for lots of attacks.

Courts have agreed on them being legally binding several times. https://ilt.eff.org/index.php/Contracts:_Click_Wrap_Licenses

When they haven't found them legally binding, they've generally either been simply ridiculous or deceiving.

Certain clauses will be unenforceable, obviously. But this isn't about enforcing, this is about you granting them permission to do something. After that you'll have really hard time in court trying to argue that they shouldn't have been doing it.

Warden in fact has capabilities to scan absolutely anything on your computer, but it only does it when new cheat definitions are shipped. (This only happens during mass banwaves which happen every couple of years)

Lots of things that only benefit one party are legal, why should they be illegal?

That's not how EULAs work, so far the only decision about EULAs not being binding is when they prohibit you from reselling the software. Not when you agree that the other party is allowed to do something.

These are two wildly different scenarios.

Still worth arguing. Much more to gain than to lose here.

dublinben is right, but wasn't this soldier snatched by the separatists and not .ru govt? At least with a quick google search I can't find anything saying otherwise.
