Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:if you want to actually understand the issue there's a good talk walking through how this is during the app initialisation and a default in the sdk before any opt-outs happen oh yeah, i have no doubts that it's done in the shittiest, most user-hostile of ways, and as always I love the talks and summaries you link here; thank you for that btw also, it's disingenuous for me to characterize the threat as "being personally identified to an advertiser by an ad-supported fart app" when people's personal safety is very likely being threatened by these same means

Hexyflexy posted:I'm going to assume you copied this from reddit. speaking of reddit, there's been quite a few people lately complaining about sextortion emails. The twist is that these threats include proof that someone really has gotten a hold of the victims' homegroan, probably from actually using the compromised credentials

I’m going to be so loving mad if it turns out not to have been Pamplemousse. he thought vaguely of it before the interview started, which is an explosion of flavour naming by la croix standards Also, doesn't epo let you set up distributed av scans & reports? I seem to remember that from the course but ofc the book is uh, elsewhere

apseudonym posted:It's a straight up suit that "omg this security improving thing makes my life slightly harder let's sue", that's awful. the security improvements to windows vista were necessary and it was just that kind of thinking made people reject them outright My job is to make ordinary people act like they aren't trying to actively compromise their own security on an hourly basis. It's just not possible to make "a typical user" give a gently caress about security. A toddler in an abandoned amusement park has better survival instincts.

cbc marketplace is a canadian consumer affairs show that does investigative reports into the various ways people get screwed by corporations you'd think with a topic that broad that the well of content would never go dry, but yet https://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/episodes/2017-2018/credit-card-scam quote:Marketplace has obtained a secret list revealing the names and identities of close to 3,000 Canadians targeted by a phone scam promising to lower your credit card interest rate. Their end game: stealing your identity so they can sell and trade it on the dark net and to other fraudsters. We track where your information can end up and test whether fraud alerts and credit monitoring services can really protect you. the big surprise isn't that fraud alerts/credit monitoring don't really work, or that credit freezes aren't available in canada it's that a tv show written and produced by grownups spent half an hour talking about cc phone fraud without mentioning once that reciting your cc number and various other credentials isn't a good idea when you're on the phone with someone who called you

while i completely agree that "the users aren't going to gently caress this up" should be considered zero times in the formulation of a breach mitigation strategy, saying "so try not to stuff marbles up your nose" is probably worth half a minute of airtime in a show about people with marbles stuffed up their noses

steam-like services are giant security flaws and the fewer of them you have on your computer the better, so yeah i get why people bristle at the idea of "having" to install another one for a single title especially if it's one that does that Lysidas posted:there is also a kickstarted (or equivalent on other platforms) game "phoenix point" by the creator of xcom (julian gollop) which was just announced to be epic-store exclusive for the first year after release, after initially promising it would be distributed through gog and steam, and many people are quite unhappy about that WHAT? STARCITIZEN IS EVOLVING! sean10mm posted:You've got a Bulgarian software developer with an expat frontman recognized by like 5% of PC strategy gaming grognards launching a nostalgia project. They fund their project through a crowdsourcing platform nobody has heard of on the basis it would have a wide release on Steam and GOG, then out of nowhere decide to make their game a 1 year exclusive for a z-grade distribution platform most PC gamers don't even know exists. All of which is linked to a sketchy Chinese company, because of course it is. STARCITIZEN became ALIENSGAME
