Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

surely there's no actual reason to be uploading your aws keys even to a private repository other than laziness/stupidity, right

The breach started with the Visual studio bug that published a repository as a public repository instead of a private repository.
I assumed that the repository was private, and should have checked it, or perhaps even have tested this functionality before using it on a live project.

that's my assumption, can someone who knows about cpu mining and ec2 do an estimate based on the 6500 bill?

amazon offers gpu-enabled ec2 instances as well, the g2 type, which are significantly more expensive but would still have a better rate of return (although still garbage against asic equipment)

doesn't matter to these guys because they're not the ones getting billed by amazon

sure, but it still seems like they're not going to be making that much unless they get people constantly, and even if i was a scammer i'd feel worse for costing a guy $1000 for every dollar I earn

how do you "attach" a colored coin to a commodity w/o some regulatory enforcement? what stops someone from coloring a coin with a commodity they don't own? i feel like these ideas are prevalent enough among bitcoiners that someone somewhere must have addressed this question, even in a half-assed way?
The couple of times I looked into it, the solution looked to be a rather messy new protocol that layers over Bitcoin. What I've never seen covered is how they plan to get enough of the network running their extra layer to make the idea work.

just took on a client who pushed loving everything to their private bitbucket, like internal documents regarding trade secrets and poo poo

i should mention that i'm supposed to deal with the money, not the devops, but yeah it's common to a point where on my day 1 onboarding assay source control fuckups are like on page 2 of the stuff i check

page 1 starts with "do you have money on site?", "is it locked? like, at all?" and "would it take me more than a minute to get to the money, even if it's locked"

a non trivial number of clients can't even pass that, never mind fancy poo poo like coso, cobit and whatever else framework is relevant to their industry

i've seen credit card number lists, entire employee information dbs and anything else you can think of get stuck on forward facing services

it's that bad, and it's the same everywhere

A former U.S. Secret Service agent charged with stealing more than $800,000 in bitcoins while investigating the Silk Road Internet drug emporium tried to change his identity after reaching an agreement to plead guilty, prosecutors said.

A federal judge on Monday ordered Shaun Bridges to submit to electronic monitoring and a curfew after a prosecutor said Bridges sought to change his name and Social Security number and was found with illegal firearms, including an assault weapon.

The government learned of the multiple attempts by Bridges to change his identity just hours before an otherwise routine hearing Monday in which he was scheduled to plead guilty to money laundering and obstruction of justice, prosecutor Kathryn Haun told U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg in San Francisco. Haun told the judge that Bridges, who reached the plea deal in June, may try flee if allowed to remain free on bail and should be locked up while he awaits his sentencing in December.

Just three months earlier, when I met Karpeles here, the scene was considerably calmer. He was baking apple quiche, a recipe passed down from his grandmother. Scruffy and chipper, his dark hair pulled back in a loose ponytail, he wore baggy green pants and a flour-dusted black T-shirt with the words 'This Isn't Even My Final Form.' System of a Down played from his radio. Apples and bread crumbs covered the living-room table he otherwise used for his model train set.
