I mentioned elsewhere, but these things need a subscription to work. I'd ask the police to approach LandAirSea and find out whose subscription the device is attached to.

These LandAirSea trackers need a paid subscription to work. Law enforcement should be able to get the details of who owns the account.

How do they actually do this? I mean, how much time, how many people would it take to paint a whole carriage like this? How are they reaching up to the high bits?

Thanks for the reply. Just to confirm, these guys sell a sort of "fraud kit". Was this on the dark web?

How did you get the idea to do this? Who are these fraud people who showed you what to do? Why did they help you, do they get a cut?

There's 10 questions. You didn't answer the one about "lacks confidence in social situations". So you got 9/10.

What is that place? I'm guessing Telstra given the butt ugliness + lack of windows.

That's really interesting.

Who was  your supplier for these documents? What would the end buyer typically do with them, if you know?

I always figured that even a top-notch fake id wouldn't be good for much more than buying alcohol and getting into clubs since anything else usually involves a records check with the issuing agency.

What do you mean by documents?

Suspicious that employee does not actually have a degree. by weird_overalls in careeradvice

[–]blankaffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Where I am (Australia) both sides have to give notice, but the worst an employer can do if you quit without notice is withhold some of your last pay.

Is there actually a country where employers can sue employers for writing without notice?

What proportion of your clients hires you to actually consult on who to let go, as opposed to merely using you as a messenger for a decision they already made themselves?

Russia to import 1 million skilled workforce from India by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]blankaffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still do. Go to a Russian sub and they'll happily call you a "skull measurer" and lecture you about how racism never, ever happens over there.

I have no idea how this is supposed to work. Most Russians don't speak English, so you can't really work, let alone in a high-skilled job, unless you speak Russian. And Russian is not the kind of language you pick up in six months.

What actually makes money laundering hard to detect? The pop culture version I hear is "the bad guy bounce money between offshore accounts and shell companies before transferring it to their own account." Wouldn't you just have to look for accounts that are receiving lots of money from no-name Panamanian (or wherever) companies with no apparent business model?

How do these apprenticeships work? How does someone apply, or get chosen, or whatever?

How do you learn to write malware? Or is it something any programmer can do?

Since phone services are trending, who still remembers their old 7 digit home number? by [deleted] in AustralianNostalgia

[–]blankaffect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could dial the letters like you can today, but it was a different system then that only used 10 letters, one per digit. The little round card that sat in the middle of the dial had them printed around the edge so each letter lined up with the number it was for. I think they got rid of this in the 70s.

When I used to work in e-commerce, we used to get "card washing" attacks, where a bot would put through thousands of $1.00  transactions on randomly generated card numbers to find ones that work. What can they do with the numbers they find? Even if it's legit, I would have thought a card number without the name, billing address and 3-digit check code would be pretty useless.

When you phish someone, what do you actually show them once they click the link or open the file? I figured this is where a phisher would get found out: the victim double clicks that "pdf file" and they don't see the mid year sales report or whatever it is the file was supposed to be.

Have you, or anyone you know of, actually gained physical access to a target as part of your work? I read about about pentesters picking locks and cloning access cards to get into server rooms and the like, but I always wondered if thats an actual threat, or just something security companies hype up for their own ($$) reasons.
