How likely is someone randomly selected for hacking when her iCloud account, microsoft account and paypal account (different email address) all tempted within 2-3 months time frame?
@TelkittytheWebDeveloper Depends on whether they've ever used all these services from the same place. How about a keylogger on a laptop used to access all of these, looking for "high value" logins?

@MarkBuffalo Hi mark! I guess you're talking about that iPhone-question. I was wrong indeed. I tried to do research, but missed the right keywords (thumbnails, windows) I guess. Thanks for pointing me on it. Learned something of your reply there and I'll do more research in the future as I'm indeed a beginner.
@MarkBuffalo Am I correct? security.stackexchange.com/a/113299/99202 before answering I watched the video again (already seen it in the past), and researched every term.
From a theoretical standpoint the idea of total drive destruction may be the only way of destroying data on a hard drive fully.
From a practical standpoint, I've not seen any evidence that it's possible to recover meaningful data from a standard hard drive (ie, not taking SSDs or other devices t...
@O'Niel In older times, some companies could retrieve overwritten data by scanning the disk surface for data elements "on the edge" (during the overwrite, the write head was never at exactly the same emplacement than it was during the previous write).
@RоryMcCune This is a nice illustration of the general principle: cryptography does not solve the problem, but it concentrates it into something smaller, thus more easily managed.
Mmh, when responding to a message with Edge, the cursor in the bottom edit box is set at the start instead of after the ":xxxxxx". This is inconvenient.
@Matthew @MarkBuffalo that's about the only time anyone's done it, and its an old drive
Also, no one ever seems to realise that there's an addentium to the guttmann paper and the point of the guttmann pass is to wipe drives of any encoding method. :(
@JourneymanGeek Yeah. It's also reading the intended data, not the previous data. With such large sectors, it's possible that there is some evidence of previous states, but they didn't look for it
@MarkBuffalo people who quote guttmann without reading the whole paper should be taught the proper way of data sanitisation with hard raps to the knuckes with a fully functional jackhammer.
@MarkBuffalo The story went that this old priest would go to a riverbank to do his prayers. A cat would drink the milk that he brought as an offering so he'd chase it off.
I swear that banning more than a single A4 side of terms and conditions, printed at 12 pt in Arial (and that being the full thing - no external references) would reveal a whole lot of dodgy companies. If you need that much pseudolegalese bumf, stop trying to cover your arse
I certainly hadn't realised how much data they were collecting - don't have kids, so tend to ignore anything aimed at them. Last time I saw a Vtech device, it was sort of like a noisy calculator
> But it’s not just pictures. The server also contained chat messages exchanged between parents and their children. The oldest logs were dated from the end of last year, while the most recent ones were from November of this year.
OK, I've tried with this, but am getting nowhere...
@NeilSmithline You seem to underestimate the consequence of the problem. If you allow an address email as a username you could deny service to a company for a ton of users. For example, 2 companies provide a similar service. Company A doesn't want its users to switch to Company B. So, Company A, for every user they have, will create an account on company B using the email of their client as a username, Then when a user of A try to create an account for B, he will receive a message telling him that there is already an account even if he didn't created one. — ꓨꓵꓷꓤꓯꓷꓯꓲꓠ33 mins ago

In the case of Twitter, "username" = something without an @ in, "email"= something with an @ in. Easy to tell which is which. Doesn't imply the rest of the bumf though
My 30 month old son asked me why people's eyes will hurt if one stares at Mr Sun. I told him the sun shoots sunlight, which is not visible and not touchable. But it exists and is made of atoms just like other things we can see. If it hits our eyes, our eyes will hurt just like a man hurts from a ...
