Good question.   I've been going with the @username so it is clear who I am speaking to.   I do this in minimal forums elsewhere too as a matter of habit. WIth the @ tagging elsewhere, what functionality exists (i.e. what happens when username gets mentioned)?  Assuming there is feature for...

So, I have remote nodes here and there that do various things.  Some record audio and video content and that's the most aggravating to deal with, mainly due to size.   Historically I've done batch downloads of the data, as needed.  That gets silly on time and sometime bump into disk space...

iOS users and Droid folks ought to remember CarrierIQ: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/9416/what-risk-does-carrier-iq-pose-exactly

Come on now @Magiobiwan.  Obviously, things have basis in reality or we wouldn't be talking about it like everyone elsewhere. I don't understand if you purely intend on being a troll or are that ridiculous to believe there is nothing going on.

Sure - license plate scanners store that data long-term! That's a hot button topic.  I just caught a story on the wire yesterday about a US local city level parking authority using such to catch those with outstanding parking tickets.   Net result in not much time was 10's of thousands of...

Metadata = spying, ehh surveillance. Bruce Schneier has a piece on just that topic today: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/09/metadata_equals.html I don't frankly care what .gov is doing with data.  I see little to no reason for them to be collecting any of it. Telcos all have...

Anyone mentally challenged to the degree of the folks in this NYC PSA on iThefting shouldn't be living in a city... Watching these tetherheads get untethered is umm... yeah... probably best for their own safety.  Amazing more folks aren't found dead under subway from walking off the platform...

Perhaps you should try the new iPhone functionality :)

Yawn. @Magiobiwan,  unsure where you jumped on for a ride, but feel free to jump off.    "Find my iDevice"  With said feature + insurance why is any of this public Apple theater even necessary?  You can locate your phone, wipe it, etc. already. Now calling this a feature is swell.  It is...

I don't think it's a conspiracy.  Just very odd to target this one brand of devices and advocate customers spend serious cash "upgrading".   Maybe as a single product line, the iPhones are high in theft number (reason if so to not buy one).  Have to be tons of Samsungs and other alterna phones...

Is theft materially different than hacking typically?   Both tend to be criminal. Lifting prints in case of investigation would be good work.  In case of hacking, it counts as something. If the prints unlock the phone which were lifted from, then that's a form of hacking no doubt.

A hack is a hack.   Regardless.   Latent prints are all over the place.  Probably possible to lift such from the device itself.  Which would be like locking your car then taping your keys to the outside.  As for another hack, just a matter of time.  Anything one creates, another can and will...

We don't think the NSA is discerning do we?    Much faster/easier/feasible to port mirror entire major fiber hauls and dump it to storage.  Then offline run sorting and filing algorithms to make use of the data. The intelligence community isn't building all these giant data centers to store...

Yeah iOS is proving so secure... about that fingerprint thing.  Hacked in record time. Unsure why people want to steal closed source spy devices.  It's not like you can steal one then run down the street and activate it as your own. If they wanted to stop the theft, they'd regulate it at the...

Ouchie!  What sort of period of time was this and what sort of overall drive failure percentage.  Wondering if the infamous bad batch or something much larger.

I know the feds are sickos and the military industrial complex is full of life ruining folks, but this? "5,200 Pentagon Employees Bought Child Pornography and the world media is silent." They didn't view or get caught with child porn, they BOUGHT IT...

The Tor entrapment payloads... Hmmm NSA implicated, but huge IP range with other stuff..  Someone said SAIC elsewhere... Science Applications International Corporation... The 9th largest Defense Department outsource recipient.  SAIC was behind Trailblazer.   Trailblazer was later linked to the...

Whole thing rings oddly like the federal contractor DynCorp and their involvement in child kidnapping and in this article, child prostitution, including homosexual conduct: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/08/wikileaks-reveals-that-mi_n_793816.html and Dyncorp trafficking women and children:

Wired has a write up on the Tor compromise and fingers Verizon as the network where the call home was located and FBI mentioned lots: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/09/freedom-hosting-fbi/
