On Tuesday, August 8, smart locks manufacturer LockState botched an over-the-air firmware update for its WiFi enabled smart locks, causing the devices to lose connectivity to the vendor's servers and the ability to open doors for its users.

http://mashable.com/2017/09/08/equifax-hackers-bitcoin-ransom.amp

quote:

..according to an onion site, whose authors insist that if Equifax forks over 600 Bitcoin — approximately $2.66 million at the time of this writing — then they'll delete all the stolen data. Oh, and Equifax better decide quickly, because if the ransom isn't paid, the self-identified hackers say they'll dump all the data on September 15th.

Well, almost all of the data. The supposed hackers wrote that they won't publicly post credit card numbers—suggesting an intention to get some illicit use out of those.

"We are two people trying to solve our lives and those of our families," the site explains. "We did not expect to get as much information as we did, nor do we want to affect any citizen. But we need to monetize the information as soon as possible."

An explanation of sorts.

Now, you'd be right to be skeptical of these claims — after all, it's pretty easy to throw together a website and pretend to be a hacker. However, there's a twist: In a message addressed to Equifax the authors say they can prove they're legit.

"Request a specific part or a specific data from an email that corresponds to Equifax and we will send it to you," the group explains.

We've reached out both to Equifax and the person or persons behind the onion site, but haven't received a response from either as of press time. We'll update this when and if we hear back.

lovely credit agencies like Equifax have became powerhouses in terms of lobbying, especially in the past decade:

what's the thread opinion on qubes os? how does it compare to whonix or tails?

Qubes OS is catered towards a need for security via compartmentalization and has a pretty slick management system for creating different VMs within the OS for this. It includes a Whonix gateway and workstation template VM by default, actually, and you can create a number of other VMs that throw all traffic through the tor network (including a throw-away one)

Tails is meant to run as a bootable USB (good anonymity in a pinch) where Qubes relies pretty highly on some hardware compatibilities and won't really work that way afaik.

Qubes was created primarily for security where Tails was created primarily for privacy - that obviously doesn't mean that they can't have both, but its something to keep in mind.

tl;dr - both are cool and good, but Qubes OS works better as a daily system where Tails is a "boot and bin"

All,

We're aware of an issue with a protection update that shipped an hour ago that is causing all web traffic to be blocked and RAM usage to climb. We are triaging this right now with all hands on deck. I will have an update shortly with root cause and will share with all of you as I get information.

I completely appreciate the pain this is causing our users and we are working hard to resolve this.
