A man in west coast Austria wants to deposit money into my account. I'm in Alabama
I had to get a online account. I did that but he says his bank manger needs all this information:
DOB
SSN
online access username
online access password
security question and answer
bank name...
@paj28 yeah I think that's kind of interesting. At base I'd say it's likely to depend on what ones the ransomeware is aware of. i.e. if it doesn't know about it, it can't wipe/encrypt it
also ones that store many versions of files are more resistant to it
@paj28 so ones that present something like an SMB interface will be more vulnerable as they're easier for standard code to wipe.
@paj28 append only without something like Write-Once media will always be a software construct which could be broken, so it'd depend on the attacker knowing about how to do it
@Flyk Lithium is one of many alkali elements that reacts violently with water (I meant water when I said oxygen before). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_metal
@paj28 raesene.github.io/blog/2015/07/23/… was the post, was about using Docker for Security testing. I think there's definitely some advantages to using containers for that kind of stuff
@paj28 we have not terrible service (8M down 1M up) by bonding 2 ADSL lines together but it's seriously expensive (although the ISP is very good). Mobile phone coverage is 2G and only Vodafone..
@paj28 theoretically we may get FTTC next year some time
I can't think of anything worse than fully autonomous cars. It's like the worst bits of a car - you don't get to do the most fun bit - the actual driving
@RоryMcCune There is that Israeli company doing drop out batteries, which is a viable alternative. Drive to station, drop out battery. Pop in new one - 150 mile range!
@RoryAlsop There are zillions of routes for me to go to work, and all of them are equally as clogged with people. That and I only work 7 miles from where I live.
My preferences for transport, long journeys: aeroplane, car, train. Short journeys: helicopter, car, motorbike, taxi. Bus is an option in emergency. Tram isn't.
@RоryMcCune I saw the headline - haven't read it yet
@RoryAlsop basically to get control they had to find an ethernet port buried in the car, but once they had, they could get remote control.. not the most practical attack, but interesting nonetheless
@RоryMcCune It's the whole 6 or 7 lanes of traffic fitting into 4 lanes, with cows and children in there, random lane changes, pot-holes you can find entire civilisations in etc...
@RoryAlsop the worst I saw was a motorway journey where they had a contra-flow without any cones or segregation... just suddenly traffic coming the other way on your side of the road!
@DavidFreitag that's not our problem, if you don't like driving then don't drive, don't blame some other failure on the reason for you ruining driving for everybody else
@DavidFreitag Well - if you look at www.palmersport.com, you can see some of the options. I pay £700 and get a day racing Caterhams, Atoms, Le Mans cars, BMW M4 GTP's, F-3000, karts etc - is awesome!!!
That one should be £1500-ish, but we now get a big discount
I also enjoy being able to race a car that costs more than my house.
I have on occasion bought a guitar that costs more than a month's salary, and a car that costs 3 month's. I guess if I was ever earning enough that a Lambo was 3 month's salary, I might...
