Jersey City has been posted on this community a few times.

I've read somewhere that if an apartment builder builds a park next to the building, they get a lot of incentives including tax breaks. I really like that rule. It must be worth it since almost all the new big builds I see, there is usually a park next to it.

Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

Interesting. Have you seen a F250 or an F350?

[–] IllNess 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah. You have great points. A lot easier to wipe a device that is actively connected. Laptops don't usually have that luxury. It is a lot easier to take apart a laptop. It is easier to plug in a USB HID for brute forcing or to constantly move a pointer to prevent it from going to sleep.

I guess that's the feeling in my gut.

Thank you for your input.

And this is how it should be with all monetary punishments.

But nowadays, a lot of people use the same credentials on the phone just as well, and with everything asking to install their app, I’m not sure the attack surface really is smaller anymore. So, if you’re in this scenario, I agree with you that you may not be sacrificing much by having 2FA on desktop.

This makes sense and puts holes in my statement. I also feel like more people are willing to install shady stuff on their phones than their desktop now. I have no sources for this though.

The way I looked at it, it’s no different than having a mobile device with a password manager on it, because if someone steals your mobile device, they have access to everything as well. So the two-factor authentication apps shouldn’t be on desktop argument never made sense to me, mobile is the same way.

That is true. And more phones are stolen now than computers. Computers can have the same security and encryption if properly configured.

Even though you make a logical point, something in my gut doesn't feel right.

I did more research and you are correct.

15 U.S. Code § 52 - Dissemination of false advertisements - (a) Unlawfulness - It shall be unlawful for any person, partnership, or corporation to disseminate, or cause to be disseminated, any false advertisement—.

Okay. Good.

The term “false advertisement” means an advertisement, other than labeling, which is misleading in a material respect; and in determining whether any advertisement is misleading, there shall be taken into account (among other things) not only representations made or suggested by statement, word, design, device, sound, or any combination thereof, but also the extent to which the advertisement fails to reveal facts material in the light of such representations or material with respect to consequences which may result from the use of the commodity to which the advertisement relates under the conditions prescribed in said advertisement, or under such conditions as are customary or usual.

Good. Good.

if such violation is with intent to defraud or mislead, be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not more than $5,000 or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment;

No! No! No! So a corporation can just pay $5,000 and throw a designer, who was only following directions, under a bus?!

Hmm... I'm not sure about having an authenticator app on a desktop computer.

Like you are putting all your eggs in one basket. Password managers, and your emails already go to one place for authentication. Adding an authenticator means if your computer is compromised, a person can have access to more accounts.

I always figured this is why desktop authenticator apps aren't a thing.

Japan has strict laws against using fake images for food.

Why can't the people we vote for represent us?

[–] IllNess 26 points 2 days ago

Continents are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria.

Security researchers have discovered an arbitrary account takeover flaw in Subaru's Starlink service that could let attackers track, control, and hijack vehicles in the United States, Canada, and Japan using just a license plate.

Curry says Subaru patched the vulnerability within 24 hours of the researchers' report and was never exploited by an attacker.

 

A North Korean threat group has been using a technique called RID hijacking that tricks Windows into treating a low-privileged account as one with administrator permissions.

 

The CloudSEK researchers disrupted the botnet by utilizing hard-coded API tokens and a built-in kill switch to uninstall the malware from infected devices.

 

"Mac Homebrew Project Leader here. This seems taken down now," tweeted McQuaid.

 

To safeguard against such attacks, it's advised to monitor suspicious processes, events, and network traffic spawned by the execution of any untrusted binary/scripts. It's also recommended to apply firmware updates and change the default username and password.

 

A malicious package named 'pycord-self' on the Python package index (PyPI) targets Discord developers to steal authentication tokens and plant a backdoor for remote control over the system.
