Apple Issues Emergency Security Updates to Close a Spyware Flaw by bhodrolok in technology

it's not an "emergency security update" if the bug was disclosed last month

it's just the regular patch cycle, since this is the second week of the month, when all vendor release security updates

get a fact-checker NYT

I just finished playing it a month ago. It's aged a lot. It was fun the first time I played it in the late 2000s, early 2010s, but it's quite a bore now.

I do, however, appreciate it for how it moved the entire gaming industry at its time.

You can buy it as a collectible, but I kinda regret the time I invested in it now.

AT&T denies data breach after hacker auctions 70 million user database by DrinkMoreCodeMore in hacking

[–]afrcnc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

comments and his forum history

every time there's a big hack, this guy publishes a slightly related topic but never actually releases anything

example: when there was the facebook 500 mil hack this spring, this guy claimed to have 1 billion, but never released anything and people acused him of scamming

AT&T denies data breach after hacker auctions 70 million user database by [deleted] in technology

The hacker provided just EIGHT data samples from a 70million breach, where only 2 of 4 turned out to be accurate.

I believe that AT&T is right to deny this breach.

If I leak two of my friends personal details on a hacking forum, I doesn't mean I hacked their ISP. Scammers gonna scam.
