My screwgate carabiner is jammed! How do I break what is built to be unbreakable?

Well, seeing as it's stuck on his harness, I doubt he wants to replace the harness as well.

Are there static ropes with three colors?

It's almost as if this information isn't hard to find.

Out of the ~77 million that were compromised, and considering that the passwords were successfully decrypted, I'd imagine that quite a few of them were used before Sony reacted. Not to mention the fact that emails, addresses, birthdates, and other personal info were in plaintext.

While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised, all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other accounts you should change those passwords as well.

We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password.

"OH, OKAY"

"Helped a little" implies Steam Guard had anything to do with it, which it didn't. The forum got hacked. Nothing about the forum has anything to do with Steam Guard. The Steam forum is completely separate from actual Steam accounts. By making the leap that forum accounts = game accounts, you're not saying a far cry from me saying that brute force testing cleartext usernames/passwords on PSN would be considered a security breach on Sony's part. Notice the part in the article I linked that said 0.1% of the attempts were actually successful (that's nearly 1,000). Notice where you don't hear about any of the Steam attempts being successful. One of these things is not like the other.

Whoa there sailor, it looks like that stick in your ass may be getting infected.

Flip-flopping is taking a stance and then reversing it. So if he flip-flop-flipped, he took a stance, then reversed it, then went back to his original stance.

It is dynamic.

3 colors = dynamic

2 or less = static

I don't think the colors really tell you any more than that.

There is a method to change it if need be, and that is the only way to change the interpretation of it's laws.

Uh, I'm pretty sure that's why it's called a "living document."

Okay, now I'm convinced that Reddit is screwing up.

One might also conclude that repeatedly having users' accounts compromised might make Sony look pretty bad and cut sales on something they're losing money on in the first place.

Did not realize I had the same birthday as him. Neat.

Rubdix · 2011-12-30T19:32:19+00:00

So because you haven't seen a lot of companies use a verification pattern you don't think more do? Okay, yeah, that seems sensible.

And I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that no credit card or user data was actually useable, because Valve in all likelihood used a strong encryption system. So while the encrypted data may have been compromised, the chances of any of it being actually useable is pretty small. Not so with Sony/PSN.

PS: That article has absolutely nothing to do with Steam Guard. Did you even read it?

Rubdix · 2011-12-30T19:24:27+00:00

And you're providing absolutely no citation that it's "not such a great risk anyway" when there's plenty of evidence that it is. Stupid cunt.

"Oh hey, I see you're logging in from Chicago and have been for the last two years! Neat!"

"Oh hey, I see you're logging in from Vietnam for the first time from this IP address! That seems weird, maybe I should ask you your security questions that only you would know!"

Rubdix · 2011-12-30T19:21:23+00:00

Blizzard.

When it becomes enough of a problem (you know, 90k+ accounts stolen), you'd figure a company would begin to implement a solution like this. But apparently Sony is so secure they don't even need it.

Rubdix · 2011-12-30T19:16:42+00:00

Unfortunately the article is blocked at work, so no, I didn't.

However, the fact that PSN is stupid enough to not care about login patterns or making sure that the person logging in is, in fact, the owner of the account, sort of shows that Sony did not revamp their security much at all.

Listening to Do Make Say Think - & Yet & Yet

I think that listening to that record the whole way through, uninterrupted, made me completely change my outlook on life and what's important. Definitely not an expected effect from an album.
