normal people would never understand "hash and salt" so they just say "encrypted". i'm not saying they arent storing passwords w/ reversible encryption, just that this isnt exactly compelling evidence

How does a modern website even manage store passwords now? If you know what you're doing you're going to salt and hash. If you don't know what you're doing every webapp-in-a-box template/module is going to salt and hash your user's passwords.

that's for basic not knowing what you're doing beginners, after a bit of experience you reach the sweet spot of not knowing what you're doing where you feel you don't need webapp-in-a-box any more because you can write real code like a grown-up

You'd think so but the tutorials are often so wrong that it ends up not being secure even if you copy-paste straight off the official guides: Your Node.js authentication tutorial is (probably) wrong

People are loving dumb is why.
The first time I made a database to store passwords I thought to myself "Self, don't be a dumb. Take a few hours, do some research, figure out the best way to store passwords." After a few hours I had a bcrypt/hash/salt setup going that stored passwords not in plain text and I thought it was pretty decent.

99.99999% of the people out there won't even think about "Don't be dumb" and will just go about storing poo poo in plain text.

good news everyone, paying for things is about to get easier! Nothing could possibly go wrong!

quote:

A new W3C standard is slowly creeping into current browser implementations, a standard that will simplify the way people make payments online.

Called the Payment Request API, this new standard relies on users entering and storing payment card details inside browsers, just like they currently do with passwords.

Websites will be able to use the standard to create one-click buttons that allow the user to buy a product without entering his payment details on each and every site on the Internet.

looks like a cool way for a website to transmit your credit card info over http, and have that decision abstracted away from you

the github is full of interesting questions, such as Should the API support field validation? or Should user agent validate currency? or How are digital signatures supported for Payment Requests?

protip: if you're running an av client for some reason and you don't want random poo poo being exfiltrated to your av vendor, disable sample submission

like, is there any evidence that the nsa/kaspersky thing was anything other than that idiot contractor taking poo poo home and his av uploading flagged files?

public evidence? nope. just a lot of posturing that could easily be a smokescreen for stopping foreign companies getting their products too close to national infrastructure

i didn't klnow that. thats interesting and i guess changes things a little but still think that if you are a normal home computer user, the russian state should probably not be a part of threat model. no one cares about you.

I have a thing for courageous dongles

The def update sets allow for execution of arbitrary code on the endpoint as root/system and I bet you could slip something sneaky in there to target a specific client site if you really wanted to. If you're a big corporate or government and are concerned about being a target for that kind of thing then yeah, you should be using a domestic vendor. People still don't understand the level of control AV software has over an endpoint or how far its management hooks really extend and what that means for liability.

this is the first part of what happened

seems like after the sample was submitted, that employee was "coincidentally" targeted by Russian hackers, who were able to get pretty much everything else. there's no indication that Kaspersky or their software were involved in that hack, though, beyond happening to find the initial indication that got him targeted in the first place

at worst, they happened to receive the sample due to the contractor's fuckups, noticed that it was tied to a state actor, and notified their government. though they're denying that; their explanation for that coincidence is that maybe they'd been hacked too and the attacker found it in their networks. doesn't sound too likely to me, but Kaspersky's internal networks were hacked pretty badly back in 2015 when the events in question happened, so :shrug:

either way, the nsa's definitely overemphasizing the role of kaspersky in order to dodge the blame for their boneheaded idiocy. the contractor who was working on new hacking tools to replace the ones that were leaked by a previous contractor accidentally leaked them to an antivirus company, and then got his computer completely compromised by foreign hackers

i think that has less to do with "they're russians and therefore spies and also evil" and more to do with "they're a corporation with the means to spy on their competitors"
