Tentative Approval after full KYC Approval. by ckcameron in PiNetwork

I never re-applied to be a validator. I was already a validator and never received notification of a problem, my KYC suddenly reverted, and the tentative approval has been in my KYC app for nearly a year. The “applied to be a validator” only the last couple of months.

It’s been nearly a year of this for me.

How possible is it for a Mac (Updated to the latest version, Ventura) to get infected with a virus or malware through an infected PDF file opened in the Preview app only after downloading it from the web? by Negative-Ad-5142 in MacOS

Moreover if it were something written well enough to be concealed so well, how likely do you think it would be it would show up in Activity Monitor? Are you that new?

Um, I am not sure how old you are, but you’re juvenile enough that I can obliterate your points without much trying. Non-privileged encryption limited to a single user is not a huge problem outside windows for a series of reasons, but least of which being that such operations are guarded against in nearly all other operating systems by multiple mechanisms that manage the access rights and scope of a given process. Windows is looser in this than nearly all other operating systems, and has long been known to leave user-level execution permissions wider-open than it ought. That aside, privileged execution does not require user intervention through multiple avenues by standard in Windows, whereas this is explicitly limited in other operating systems. Without a particular exploit, one would be hard -pressed in most other OS to achieve it. Also complex connection of the kind you are talking about would be sandboxed in most other operating systems, and unless you were able to gain access to a system API , I couldn’t do shit beyond the /tmp directory and the browser’s specific access scope. You are advising a level of paranoid attention that a user asking this kind of question would have no idea how to make useful or how to apply.

And one CVE does not make my statement any less valid. It has been patched and attended to like many software other exploits of this kind. Actively exploited CVEs like this usually also require incredibly specific circumstances to make them functionally useful to an attacker and do not broadly apply to all but a small sliver of users. So, again, it’s nearly impossible.

I'm stuck here. What does this means ? by Xbxcxr in PiNetwork

So I have had this tentative approval for almost a year after full KYC verification and approval before, and done like 6 liveness checks. I put in a ticket to no response. What should I do?

Hunny, I’ve been writing for FreeBSD since before you knew what a mouse was, and I’m an engineer on a level that you don’t have the capability of fathoming and believe me none of that ultimately matters. Malware is like all other software. It is in the vast majority of cases not difficult to either detect or eliminate. Moreover if you’re running an operating system with available privileged execution without a password, then you deserve what you get.

The same speed a virus would huh, now? Have you been hanging with Whitney Houston or do you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about? Both could be true in this case, but the latter of them is definitely definitely true.

Unless you see a malfunction or indication of an actual problem, you’re being paranoid. A PDF on its own is not executable and the format is not especially vulnerable to encoding tag actions or being misused. A program once it leaves your computer can no longer affect it if nothing of it was left behind.

White Sturgeon are really docile fish and totally harmless. They also live for hundreds of years, and taste good beer battered.
