Re: Security Researchers

And another involved a bug where the system was susceptible if the Researcher first donwgraded the system to Windows XP and manually installed malware?

Re: Security Researchers

This looks the equivalent of complaining to Microsoft that it's their fault the user can manually install malware if they do everything possible to prevent the system from stopping it...

Yeah, it's possible to do a lot of things if you deactivate the security, manually install a virus, give it admin privileges to run, etc. As much as I like Windows bashing, this Security Researcher sounds like an attention whore.

Ballmer managed one thing..

If Bill Gates was still running the show I might still be a Windows user. Ballmer's totalitarian regime and privacy invading OSes resulted in me moving to Ubuntu - and i'm loving the other side of the pond. We have privacy over here. It's lovely!

TalkTalk once told GCHQ: Cyberattack? We'd act fast – to get sport streams back up

Wrong priorities...

The company estimated the attack cost it £42m. Since then it said it has “substantially” increased its investment in cyber security, and has appointed a chief information security officer. not giving a shit about security, customer service, and has managed to to be hacked almost quarterly every year since, yet still somehow has customers.

Fixed that for you!

How can a number have negative implications? Nein isn't only associated with Hitler to modern Germans is it?

Understandable numbers to avoid in business that I can think of are: 69 and 666. Chrome and Firefox aren't far off reaching versions 69 so we'll see what happens then =P

There's probably a good joke about Internet Explorer 69 and being fucked by malware in here somewhere...

Give it a year and Google will create another storage service to compete directly with these two.

They do this for everything. Android has how many Google chat apps now? Hangouts, Allo, Messages, Duo, Google+, Hangouts Dialer, Hangouts Meet...

What was wrong with adding extra features behind a paywall for businesses in the same app?
