*cracks knuckles* Okay, I think it's about time I'll attempt to convince my work's security board that using LastPass as a company password manager is a bad idea. Does anyone know if there's an overview of recent LastPass vulnerabilities somewhere?

AggressivelyStupid posted:Not wrong tho threat prosecutions are very rare. the problem with 4chan-style brigading from a crim law perspective is that it's not clear that anything about it is illegal, and certainly not prosecutable — the individual acts are usually one-off and too small. even when someone goes further, making repeated threats with personal info etc., it's still really hard to prosecute because it's hard to prove they had any ability or inclination to actually carry those threats out, which is usually a legal requirement. even if there was a law specifically against piling on, you're expecting some DA to file a thousand cross-jurisdictional misdemeanor harassment charges? many against minors? it's just a poo poo-ton of work i think a more effective law would let them maintain a registry and then charge people with repeated threats against different people, so it's a clear pattern of harassing people online. maybe the problem would go away if there was some accountability for always being part of it. but i don't have much hope

that part is hard even. all the sa doxxing victims can't do poo poo to even get their info pulled down because the servers holding the information are in like iceland or something and it's not a big enough deal for police to work with icelandic police or whatever. you could probably do it with twitter and facebook, but a lot of harassment comes in other ways that isn't so traceable.

the nice thing about a prolonged-history-of-harassment standard is there isn't as much pressure to connect all of their activity just to get the case started. you can just say "this one twitter account has been used to threaten people for years", and just from that you have a semi-viable case against the operator, without having to first establish that the same person made these posts on 4chan and facebook. once you've made that case, you go get a name and a warrant and maybe prove that they run a server in iceland, just like how they found the screenshots that this dude in maryland had made. but you have to get over that initial bump somehow where the case just seems hopeless

password length adminfuck: verizon has recently decided they want out of the email racket and is giving current customers the opportunity to either lose their current email accounts or transfer them to aol. having used a couple of those verizon.net accounts since the dsl days 14 years ago, i elected to move them to aol though i plan to pursue an alternate email solution since lol aol. when setting up the account, aol will let you enter a password of any length and log you in that first time. however, subsequent login attempts will fail with a "wrong username or password" message if your password is more than their limit of 16 characters.
