Literally remember people saying they didn’t vote for Clinton in 2016 because she didn’t pay attention to their state. That was their excuse anyways.

The frightening thing is, that's the best you can hope for. Anything else is a pleasant surprise.

No.

Somebody testing their latest botnet before trying to monetize it?

So it factored a trivial (22 bit) RSA key.

1024-bit RSA has been deprecated for years. 2048-bit RSA is the recommended minimum.

Interesting. Not quite worrisome.

They'd do that, anyway. Right now they just have a legally defensible excuse.

Let's see... Ventoy is a tool intended for sysadmins to use.

Something sketchy is going on in a tool sysadmins use when working on the crown jewels.

What could possibly go wrong? /s

New York, DC, and LA as well. If one doesn't want a polite knock, one doesn't speak ill of the CCP.

All of my servers make local dumps of their databases and config files to directories owned by unprivileged users. This includes file paths, permissions, and ownerships (so I know how to put them back).

My primary research server at home uses rsync to pull copies of those local backups from my servers.

My primary research server uses Restic to make a daily incremental backup to Backblaze's B2 service.

There's always money to be made in hurting people. It's part of the human condition.

They're making way more out of hurting people than they are off of us.

And study the techniques used for currency manipulation, fraud, and so forth.

They're making bank off of it. Next question.

Yes, and yes.

Gee. It's almost as if rich people don't give a single shit about anyone else. /s

Makes you wonder why so many people want to be rich and powerful, doesn't it?

They seem more concerned with their bonuses and stock buybacks. In August Intel announced that they'd be laying off 15k workers to "save" $10 billion US. They're also cutting back on R&D for the same reason. I guess the MBAs decided that losing customers by hamstringing Linux users is an acceptable loss. Not like folks won't forget about this six months from now, anyway...

Like wrecking the biosphere in its persuit.

Even when you try to turn them off.
