In the last debate Romney and Obama briefly sparred over their investment portfolios and the nefarious line items that may appear there—when Romney asked Obama if he was sure he didn’t have investments in Chinese firms, Obama dodged it by making a joke and saying his pension report sheet “isn’t as long” as Romney’s.It was funny, but it also touched on a disturbing reality: When you get someone as rich as Romney their money becomes like a Russian nesting doll, with investments hidden under subsidiaries of private equity firms, offshore accounts and “blind” trusts. Keeping track of its influence—following the money, so to speak—can become ...

Piratebay soon available on 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addresses?

Blocking the Piratebay seems the latest hobby of legislators around Europe. In the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium and Finland, the Piratebay has to be blocked by ISPs. Blocking is done by removing the Piratebay from the ISPs DNS system or by even blocking the IP addresses the Piratebay is running on. Recently the Piratebay already showed it wasn’t impressed by that, by simply making the site available on another IP and by just increasing a number (from 194.71.107.80 to 194.71.107.81). However the internet has a shortage of these kind of IP addresses. The current IP address system is IPv4 and with ‘only’ 4 billion addresses available, these IPv4 addresses are running out. So ...

Here’s a question: if you connect an unprotected Windows computer to the internet, how long will it take before it is infected by malicious software? The answer is: much more quickly than most lay users think. In 2003, the average time was 40 minutes. A year later it was 20 minutes. By 2008 an unpatched computer running Microsoft Windows XP could only expect five to 16 minutes of freedom. The Internet Storm Centre (ISC) provides a useful chart of what it calls “survival time” for Windows machines. It suggests that a PC currently can expect between 40 and 200 minutes of freedom before an automated probe reaches it to determine whether it can be penetrated. The numbers for ...

When Jayson E. Street broke into the branch office of a national bank in May of last year, the branch manager could not have been more helpful. Dressed like a technician, Street walked in and said he was there to measure “power fluctuations on the power circuit.” To do this, he’d need to plug a small white device that looked like a power adapter onto the wall. The power fluctuation story was total bullshit, of course. Street had been hired by the bank to test out security at 10 of its West Coast branch offices. He was conducting what’s called a penetration test. This is where security experts pretend to be bad guys in order to spot problems. In this test, bank ...

With just a week to go before Google changes to its new privacy policy that allows it to gather, store and use personal information, users have a last chance to delete their Google Browsing History, along with any damning information therein. Tech News Daily reports that once Google's new unified privacy policy takes effect all data already collected about you, including search queries, sites visited, age, gender and location will be gathered and assigned to your online identity represented by your Gmail and YouTube accounts. After the policy takes effect you are not allowed to opt out without abandoning Google altogether. But now before the policy takes effect, you have the option of ...

Traditionally known as FuckFBIFriday, this weekend's eve turned into FuckCIAFriday, as hacktivists downed the official website for the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States cia.gov. At approximately 3:10 p.m. Eastern time one of twitter accounts related to the hackers' group announced "cia.gov DOWN. #UMAD?#Anonymous."

As RT reported earlier, Anonymous took credit for crashing the websites of the US Department of Homeland Security, which was quickly revived, and the FBI.The CIA seems to be less ...

Intro: Cleanliness is Next to Godliness: Browser cookies We often think of the above expression as a method of keeping “mind, body, soul, heart, word and deed” in a state of salvation (from a western cultural perspective) or a state of nirvana (from an eastern cultural perspective) in an effort to identify ourselves with a Creator or perhaps called a Supreme Being. In all cases of the above expression, some computer users leave the cleanliness of a computer to pure “happenchance” or at best an archaic process of deleting a file or a cache memory which is not much more than having your dawg lick a plate after dinner and subsequently placing the plate back on the shelf ...

Firefox Add-On Bypasses SOPA DNS Blocking

The pending Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) continues to inspire opponents to come up with creative solutions to circumvent it. A new anti-SOPA add-on for Firefox, titled “DeSopa,” is such a counter measure. When installed, users can click a single button to resolve a blocked domain via foreign DNS servers, bypassing all domestic DNS blockades and allowing the user to browse the site though the bare IP-address (if supported). “I feel that the general public is not aware of the gravity of SOPA and Congress seems like they are about to cater to the special interests involved, to the detriment of Internet, for which I and many others live and breathe,” DeSopa developer T ...
Review: Kindle Fire a worthwhile bargain

(CNN) -- If you view a tablet as a guilty pleasure, like I do, then buying the Kindle Fire should make you feel a little less guilty. Amazon's new device doesn't replace a computer for doing e-mail or composing documents, but it's a fun hub for personal entertainment. And at $199, Amazon has managed to greatly undercut the price of Apple's iPad, the dominant tablet, and still churn out a good product. Apple calls its iPad "a magical and revolutionary product at an unbelievable price." Consider now that for the iPad's $499 price tag, I could buy two Kindle Fire tablets and still have cash left over for downloading apps and movies. Fact Box Gadget Review: ...
Google vs. Microsoft: Not All Clouds Are Created Equal

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Amit Singh defected to Google after 20 years at Oracle because he wanted to join the revolution in the cloud. In May, he took over Google’s enterprise operations, overseeing the company’s effort to replace traditional business software with new-age web services such as Google Apps and Google App Engine. Since his move, Oracle has uncloaked its own “cloud” services. But for Singh, that’s a little different. “I don’t know what there is about Oracle’s cloud that is really the cloud,” he told Wired.com this week. “[Oracle CEO] Larry [Ellison] has never been a big supporter of the cloud. He’s recently made some ...

JULY 26--As part of its multi-front assault on “Anonymous,” the FBI has identified 12 “targets” it alleges participated in coordinated online assaults earlier this year against business web sites operated by Koch Industries, the Kansas-based conglomerate owned by billionaire brothers--and leading Republican benefactors--Charles and David Koch, The Smoking Gun has learned. Details of the ongoing criminal investigation are contained in a confidential FBI affidavit obtained by TSG.

Activist Aaron Swartz The government is going out of its way to create show trials in order to make the case that hackers are out of control and threaten our national security. The latest propaganda effort coincides with so-called cyber security legislation floating around the district of criminals. Coinciding with the ludicrous assertion by the government that hackers will take down the power grid and pitch the country into the Stone Age, the DOJ and FBI have arrested more than a dozen people in the PayPal Ddos case. Now they are going after a hacker who “stole” non-profit public domain documents. They want to throw him in prison for 35 years. A number of companies claim they are ...

SAN FRANCISCO — A free service launched on Wednesday called PrivateSky lets Internet users shield email, Facebook updates, and other online exchanges from hackers or other unwanted snoops. The service from startup CertiVox comes as hackers appear to be rampaging through the Internet, cracking defenses at companies, attacking public websites, and tricking their way into email accounts to spy on contents. PrivateSky works with Internet Explorer (IE) browsers to provide encryption for whatever people type into message boxes and decodes it only for those they chose. Users highlight blog posts, Facebook updates, email messages or other text then indicate who should be allowed to read ...
