@darthbortles @Jessica56516580 @MikeBotkin_ @Blythe_MG @Apple @UPS @Chad_Nelson_ I recall seeing new WiFi attack vectors to brute force passwords. Those 8-character words aren’t nearly enough anymore. If someone determined is within 500 feet they might actually be able to listen in. Takes effort though.

Does this go both ways? Can I sell mine for $5 million on an open market?

JUST IN: President Trump announces a new immigration "Gold Card" that will be sold to immigrants for $5 million.

The Gold Card is a premium version of a Green Card, according to Trump, and will provide immigrants with a pathway to citizenship.

"We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna be putting a price on that card of about $5 million and that's gonna give you green card privileges plus..."

"It's gonna be a route to citizenship. And wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card."

"They'll be wealthy and they'll be successful and they'll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people."

Do not buy a @SimpliSafe system. If you ever cancel paid monitoring, it will quietly delete your entire system from their servers. This has happened twice. Now chatting with support in an attempt to restore basic self monitoring. Sigh. Twice.

I’m sorry to say this, but Amanda is correct with this thread. Police are on the side of the prosecution, you need your own lawyer to defend you. I’ve seen them interact in court - they nitpick the smallest details and try to confuse you, trip you up and later discredit you.

[Amanda Knox @amandaknox]

You should never be in a room with police for more than an hour. If they read you your Miranda rights, you’re a suspect. Shut it down. Demand a lawyer. This is just some of the advice I got from a retired FBI Special Agent, and two renowned false confessions experts. /thread

How do I get a refund from @kfc for an order I placed via the app? The store didn’t have the order but I have the receipt number and everything. The KFC app doesn’t help at all.

Quick PSA: Someone is attacking Tor right now and has been for a few weeks.

The attacker is spoofing the IPs of Tor Exit and Directory nodes, and blasting TCP SYN packets indiscriminately on 22/TCP- spurring a large amount of abuse complaints to hosting providers, which are then temp blocking/banning Tor infrastructure which isn't actually doing anything wrong.

For the time being, I recommend all hosting providers *ignore* abuse complaints that indicate "SSH scanning" or "port scanning on 22/TCP" and originate from any of the following IPs: https://t.co/RQFUGuI8XU

This is a clever attack. I'm working with partners to triangulate the true origin of this traffic then try to get it disconnected.

And yet every four years we prove as a society we can’t be trusted to walk with scissors. I’m escaping into the world of DS9 this month. Reality is too unbelievable.

Star Trek doesn't promise that tomorrow will be a better place. In fact, many Trek stories warn what could happen if we make bad choices. However Trek says tomorrow CAN be a better place if we are smart, if we work hard, and if we are compassionate and inclusive.

@WordsWFriends When did we go back to these fake virus ads? This is why people block ads entirely - low quality ads like these often carry malware via zero day exploits. Remove these advertisers.
