The TalkTalk scam is particulary bad. TalkTalk got hacked (user account details leaked). "Hello, I am from TalkTalk. We want to compensate you for the hack. Please give me your bank account details so we can give you a fat refund". 10 minutes later the account is empty.

It's the 3rd time (IIRC) they were hacked this year.

"Couple who lost £8,000 savings after impostor pretending to be TalkTalk employee hacked their bank account"

"TalkTalk reveals personal details of 150,000 customers and 15,000 bank accounts were accessed in last month's cyber attack"

Psycogeek

@DavidPostill do they have libility issues in those countries? Like in the US more and more they are making the companies who get attacked liable for the "lack of security" kind of thing. I am not sure that i would agree fully that a company being criminally attacked (which will always be possible some way) then is liable for all damages that occur. outright neglegance yea. What think ye on such subjects that will not magically go away?

@Psycogeek Good question. In some cases the banks are refunding the money. I'm not sure about the legal status in the UK regarding the company losing the data.

@Psycogeek I follow uk.legal.moderated. Let me check and get back to you if anyone there has said something relevant.

I haven't read the newsgroup for a few weeks ...

Nothing specific

@Psycogeek The whole thing is very murky in terms of legislation. See my answer on law.stackexchange.com from a few weeks ago.

A: What legislation in the UK or EU requires online services and software companies to care about security of their products?

What is the minimum an online service or software vendor are required to do to protect personal data? In the UK that is covered by the Data Protection Act 1998. The full Act can be downloaded here (pdf) The Data Protection Act controls how your personal information is used by organisations...

Loss of business, brand damage and fines up to £500K can result from a breach of the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA).

breachwatch.com/ico-fines all fines since 2010. The largest fine is only £325,000 :/. Everybody in the UK says the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) doesn't have teeth. Well they do they just don't use them. ;)

I think this kind of long distance "Breaking & Entering" will continue and expand even , and that companies cannot afford Either :-) either all the "security" that would make them impervios , which if that was possible , somone might have actually don it once before :-) (no updates/patches are needed to impervious). And that it is going to me , the average comsumer person paying for it all one way or another :-(

And when it is Phishes, and Humans involved, and only a percentage of people who "go all the way" with the losses. Then again the very aware and alert and even those who do not participate, will be paying for that in thier products.

And what about the smaller companies. Climbing back in the Way Back Machine, the "internet would balance out the powers, and the little guy would have as much ability to sell stuff as the large corporations" also "the little person would have as much say" like any of that ever happend.

Psycogeek

2:30 PM

Some smaller companies with 2% profit margins, are probably sitting on enough customer data to just flat out bankrupt them , if they are liable for all losses. Then OmniCorp (sub-division of OmniCorp technology and security) can sweep in and pick up the pieces.

I had a dream that I had rented this fairly large, sprawling hotel suite with several rooms, lots of furniture and TVs. Out of the blue, I picked my iPhone out of my pocket, and it wasn't in its OtterBox, and it immediately started bending like a wet noodle -- like BendGate x 1000 -- so I sat it down, super frustrated that it was probably broken, but content with being able to get a replacement with AppleCare.

Then all these annoying 20-something people of mixed gender start coming into MY hotel room and sitting down and watching TV and playing with their phones, and when I go back to find my iPhone, someone has stolen my (wet noodle) iPhone >_< So I start accusing everyone and telling them they'd better give it back

o_0

But then I realized that several other people sat their (admittedly less expensive) Android phones all over the place, so I start picking them up and pocketing them, and I even find a non-bendy iPhone 6 (not S), so I'm like, "aw, alright, I can just go to the Verizon Store and get a SIM card and use this person's phone"

qasdfdsaq

4:23 PM

@DavidPostill I also had a dream that the interior of my Toyota Prius C (compact car; advertised where you live as the Yaris Hybrid) was as big on the interior as a full-size bus, and I was doing something in the back of the car (bus?) and totally forgot to put it in park, so I was coasting up to a stop light and was about to hit another car from behind

and an unseen force was making it very hard for me to force myself up into the driver's seat of the car (bus?) and grab the lever to apply the parking brake

DavidPostill

@allquixotic What were you smoking? ;)

I want some ...

allquixotic

eventually I got there and applied it and was relieved, and also put on the caution lights, and sat through several light cycles (green, yellow, red) with my caution lights on, trying to defrost the windshield, which was completely frosted over

I remember thinking "damn, I don't remember my car having this many seats" as I looked back at the rows and rows of seats. Then I also had a happy thought that even if some douche stole my melting iPhone, I could still get a new one with AppleCare

Then I woke up

DavidPostill

You were relieved when they were playing with them and applied it ? The plot thickens! ;)

What exactly were you doing in the back seat of the car?

allquixotic

@DavidPostill you mean in the back of the bus? (walking down the aisle against at least 1G of force preventing me from doing so was one of the most strenuous physical activities I've ever done in a dream)

@allquixotic To dream that you are riding a bus implies that you are going along with the crowd. You are lacking originality and control over where your life is taking. Dreaming that you are driving a bus means that you are a group leader and a trend setter. If you are driving a stolen bus in your dream, then it means that you are taking drastic measures to get control of your destiny. You are refusing to go along with the system.

To dream that you are in a bus accident suggests that it is time for you to move away from a group setting and venture out on your own. You need to be more inde…

@Bob Identity proofing? Sending secure mail? Cross-social-network "authentication"? Bitcoin tips?

Bob

9:52 PM

@allquixotic It looks like it relies on recognition of potentially non-unique usernames.

Either it only works with other users of their service, or it relies on some username matching.

The first one will limit potential quite a lot, and the second one could be inaccurate.

allquixotic

@Bob Not really. It relies on the assumptions that (1) users are in control of their own social network accounts, and nobody else has fraudulent access; and (2) That the users you're trying to deal with are connected to one or more of the supported services, and you trust them to maintain legitimate keybase.io associations and not fake ones.

Bob

> you trust them to maintain legitimate keybase.io associations and not fake

allquixotic

You can verify a user based on an account on a specific service.

Bob

> only works with other users of their service

allquixotic

For example, you can get all the verified services that are associated with my account, just by knowing that I'm "allquixotic" on twitter, specifically, even if there's an allquixotic on, say, Facebook, that isn't me.

You just specify it with the syntax allquixotic@twitter.

I strongly recommend against using the non-specific form of that syntax where you just get the info given a username without reference to a particular service.

Bob

9:56 PM

@allquixotic But only if you're a user of this site.

allquixotic

@Bob Well, yeah. But IF they are a user of this site, it's quite nice, because it allows you to design programs or websites that force interoperation between various services even if those services don't have any explicit integration support.

Bob

e.g. trying to look me up would be completely useless because I'm not a user

allquixotic

Here's a practical example where, once they hopefully expand their service to support more stuff, it'd be tremendously useful to me.

I'd like to write some code in a Google Doc that goes out and gets a list of user names from my guild forum. Then, with that list of user names in hand, assuming keybase supported my forum on Enjin, I'd be able to determine if each user is associated with a Google account (and verified through keybase). If they are, I'd like to give them permission to read/write a given document.

This would eliminate the need to manually maintain relationships between Google Docs artifacts and the users with permission to access them, by having people send me their google account details one by one.

Would just have to poll hourly or something, and once someone joins both the forum, keybase, and google all at once, I know "they're a member of the guild" and I can give them access automatically.

Bob

@allquixotic Alternatively, you could have a simple form that accepts submission of a Google account ID.

allquixotic

It's a user identity bridge that completely works around the problem of determining who's who across disparate services with separate authentication mechanisms.

Bob

10:01 PM

Which you would probably have to have anyway, since not everyone will be happy linking all their accounts.

Negative for privacy.

allquixotic

We already advise everyone in the guild to make a separate Google Account for their guild stuff if they have any reservations whatsoever about their individual privacy, since we can see their real names (if they use a real name account) in the documents/calendars being used.

Bob

@allquixotic So now they have to maintain two Keybase accounts too?

allquixotic

I dunno. Having to register for "yet another service" is a downside, especially until such time as it's widely used, but the ability to cross-verify in a reusable way is nice. To solve the issue about maintaining separate Keybase accounts, they should make it so that you can have multiple usernames on Keybase, and each Keybase username is associated with a completely separate set of verified third-party accounts.

You login to Keybase with your email and password, and you have a username for your guild, a username for your professional life, a username for personal (real life) social media...

Just make them separate and don't do something silly like use the username of your professional account's twitter under your guild username.

Bob

@allquixotic I can see that there's some potential for the service, but like all social media it really relies on everyone else using it too.

And for a pure-aggregation service, that doesn't seem likely outside a very small subset of people.

allquixotic

It also has the added benefit that it's probably the easiest service I've ever seen for setting up PGP, generating a key, and being able to exchange PGP email between people. You then still have to have a client that can send encrypted/signed email, but the process of obtaining the other person's public key is taken care of for you.

They really need to add verification for StackExchange :P

You have to have a public, persistent place where you post your signed verification message. They could do it with a chatroom, assuming SE doesn't shut it down.
