    3 Penton Properties, Including WHT, Reportedly Breached, Data of 1.7 Million Users For Sale

    Big question is what got leaked in this hack... Were passwords hashed and what was the richness of the rest of the data? If it's username + hash, then minimal impact, they just look stupid again.  If it's full field data, then other implications perhaps.

    3 Penton Properties, Including WHT, Reportedly Breached, Data of 1.7 Million Users For Sale

    Penton not only was hacked like this, but prior was hacked for memberships. The big memberships and the small memberships for WHT were all up for "free" or nearly free.  They brushed that under the rug real quick, never made mention of it, etc. With all the people and money swirling...

    Business 101: Advertising That Appears To Take Advantage of Human Tragedy Tends To Backfire

    I've always found myself thinking LimeStone gets a bad shake. Never bought from them, probably never will.  Not for any real reason other than where they are = 2000 other competitors. But this gave me a foul taste.  Tragedy pimping. Simple. Solid. Superior. I think those three sig...

    Hosting Mogul Turned FrackMaster Gets Nailed By SEC For Allegedly Spending Investor Money On Hos and

    Oh, like those not drunk / high didn't see this coming :) Faulkner is a sociopath.   Entirely of the same cloth Jonny Nuggets was cut.  The guy named this shitco. Brietling, after uppity overpriced wrist piece. Sounds like many of these insecure hosting shit heads CEOs.  Oh look at me...

    Adobe Flash Security Warning

    Seriously, why are we using Flash this year? I do this... Run Linux variety without it default included, refuse to go find howto, and live without that criminal intrusion vector. Do some things not work?  Yes, namely shit advertising insanity.  Some video sites don't work too.   Means I...

    PayPal Demands That Seafile Monitor Customers Uploaded Files

    Omidyar is far from a basket of good.  No soothing feeling from his name being on the positive side.

    ColoCrossing threatens to sue vpsBoard

    It's simple, like I've said, that legitimate customer experience / review is showing up in their sales department.  Preventing leads from converting into sales.  Can't go from $6 mil last year to $12 mil this year so easily having to sell honest and clean. Biloh is also OCD.

    PayPal customers in Turkey will no longer be able to receive or send money as of June 6

    How common are companies like yours in Turkey? (companies that do business abroad and depend on these non domestic gateways) Are your countrymen revolting over the sudden changes?  Protesting?  Activism? Political involvement? This change reminds me of what they did in Cyprus and reminds...

    Tell him you'll barter. You'll remove the review when I get to OC spray Biloh and put the video out here. I'll bring the spray.  I have some special stuff he'll enjoy. :)

    ColoCrossing Promotes Fake Reviews via Workers, Insiders, Spammers, Hackers and Shills

    But the internet wants to know, HOT OR NOT? https://hotornot.com/profile/01370438740 Even has a boat photo. What is it with these game playing wanna-be hosts and yacht time?

    ColoCrossing Promotes Fake Reviews via Workers, Insiders, Spammers, Hackers and Shills

    Quite the stellar reviewers...   For a company pulling in 6 mil big ones USD dollabills a year, you would think they'd have better customers, reputable endorsements, etc. Nope, it's the same lumpy bag of coal and fools from the Island of Misfit Toys. Still using ChicagoVPS as a case...

    ColoCrossing Promotes Fake Reviews via Workers, Insiders, Spammers, Hackers and Shills

    This is from the FTC's website about behavior related to endorsements in general: I’m starting a new Internet business. I don't have any money for advertising, so I need publicity. Can I tell people that if they say good things about my business in online reviews, I’ll give them a discount on...

    ColoCrossing Promotes Fake Reviews via Workers, Insiders, Spammers, Hackers and Shills

    1. I let them (mostly) alone since ~ August or September 2014.  2. Nothing changed ETHICALLY. No ethics on their end, still. Spam, spoofing, network abuse, embargo breaking, etc. 3. They have had to see all the outcomes of their lousy choices ranking in search, likely causing sales conversion...

    PayPal has dinged VPN companies over piracy and disallowed them to accept PayPal due to piracy. Bunch of mentions: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=paypal+vpn+providers Considering PayPal is US company, it would be the piracy issue instead of the Nazi one.

    Can't monitor stuff.  That's just immoral digging into crap and then viewing to confirm. Had to be about piracy.
