alright wtf

I can enter any random 4 digit number and find the person's first and last name at my bank

...........

silverpenguin

@MarkBuffalo it looks like there is a mystery to solve scoob

Mark Buffalo

seriously... I enter someone's 4 digit account number, and it shows their first name and last name

silverpenguin

@MarkBuffalo maybe you could make some dollar for reporting this

a information breech

Mark Buffalo

no, they're kind of retarded and still use telnet

I've warned them about craziness in the past, they don't care

SEJPM

@MarkBuffalo can you access the telnet from the outside world?

Mark Buffalo

20:25

yes

silverpenguin

@MarkBuffalo what bank are you with dribbles

SEJPM

@MarkBuffalo :O so I could just rent an EC2 instance and brute-force the heck out of them?

Mark Buffalo

It's a local credit union account

silverpenguin

isnt telnet unsecure also, could you not just MitM a telnet connection ? so many dangers

SEJPM

@silverpenguin telnet offers no encryption

it's plaintext

always

silverpenguin

20:30

@SEJPM thats what i thought

Mark Buffalo

yep

silverpenguin

opps i ate 6 cookies

this is why no one loves me

etherealflux

@MarkBuffalo don't worry, they probably have a premiere intrusion detection system to ward off cybercrime - maybe a trial edition of norton antivirus from 2003?

silverpenguin

@etherealflux damn it... its like they knew. we can just pray their trial time has ended

Rоry McCune

@etherealflux will that block Dormant Cyber Pathogens ok?

etherealflux

20:38

@RоryMcCune only if they aren't resistant to common antibiotics

wait a second

Dormant Cyber Pathogens = DCP. That looks a lot like TCP

Could cybercriminals be turning your computer into a BOMB with the internet?!

SEJPM

@etherealflux is BOMB the abbreviation of the next big TLS attack?

Rоry McCune

@etherealflux hey with that kind of spot on thinking, you sound like the kind of go-getter who should get a role with the San Bernadino DA's office!

etherealflux

@RоryMcCune No dormant cyber pathogens will get past on my watch

By the way, what's this "TLS" thing they keep talking about? Is it a new form of computer cold?

SEJPM

Transport Layer Security

Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), both of which are frequently referred to as 'SSL', are cryptographic protocols designed to provide communications security over a computer network. Several versions of the protocols are in widespread use in applications such as web browsing, email, Internet faxing, instant messaging, and voice-over-IP (VoIP). Major web sites use TLS to secure all communications between their servers and web browsers. The primary goal of the TLS protocol is to provide privacy and data integrity between two communicating computer ...

Sounds like a way for cyberterrorists to sneak their pathogens into my bluetooth

Mark Buffalo

@RоryMcCune ....rofl

christ, I can't stand this, even ironically

Simon

Mark your calendar lads, first "official" and functional ransomware on OS X: researchcenter.paloaltonetworks.com/2016/03/…

Rоry McCune

21:48

@Simon and the developer of the app is going to release a version to try and remove it.... I really hope he knows what he's doing, 'cause if the ransomware kicks in and then he deletes the binaries it could get messy....

Simon

22:00

@RоryMcCune Oh crap, didn't think about that.

Rоry McCune

@Simon lets hope he did :D

etherealflux

well, if you delete all of the encrypted files, then there are no encrypted files to be held for ransom

shoot the hostages
