All you need is a web browser and a decent internet connection. You don’t even need to own a copy of the game to have some fun, but it’ll be even more fun if you do. "Fresh meat!"

Um...
OK.
So how does that work, then?
Are web browsers now so versatile that you can take them out of your computer, and leave the computer at home?extremetech then said: it’ll run on a potato as long as the potato has a modern web browser
Ah.
Gotcha.

On July 19th, 2019 Capital One got the red flag that every modern company hopes to avoid - their data had been breached. The Cloud makes everything so convenient

Given her employment history, I wonder if she put the firewall hole in or if she had an insider do it for her. There seems way too much specific knowledge for this to be a drive-by hack.
I'm not trying to let Capital One off the hook, but this raises the issue of how do you protect yourself against disaffected IT employees?
Finally, the mind blowing part is that data affected were from credit card applications. That's 106 million credit card applications!

That's not so many considering they spanned from 2005 to current. I can't believe they keep that data practically forever. They could have reduced their exposure by keeping the data for fewer years, or transforming the data into classes that are meaningful to the business, but no longer contains the raw personal data.
|
|
|
|

If the data is only from applications why keep it all? You either approve or deny them and the approved ones go into your account holder database. It makes no sense to keep the denied applications at all to me. If they apply again, so what?

A good start point could be not being a jerk with them and paying according to knowledge and results
I don't know if that was the reason in this concrete case, but it still is a valid argument for many other situations.

That's reassuring. I have never applied for a card from them nor do I ever intend to.

Quote: Tanmay Ganacharya, general manager of Microsoft ATP security research, told ZDNet there are sound reasons why its defenses are now the primary antivirus on more than half a billion devices.
0) It's free.
1) It's enabled by default on clean installs.
2) Oh BTW you don't have to pay for it.
3) It doesn't harass you to upgrade from the free version to a paid version all the time.
4) It never stops working and demands your credit card on threat of your system being naked to 1337 h4><0rz.
5) It mostly just works and stays out of the way.*
6) Did I mention it's free.
- I have it running on all but one of my PCs. On that one it turned into power virus eating a full core 24/7 and after wasting a few hours trying to troubleshoot and fix the issue I decided buying an Avira subscription was a much better option than wasting even more time reloading the box.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Time for another antitrust lawsuit, then.
It's foolish relying on ms for security, anyway -- do you rely on them for your music player, video player, web browser, text editor, etc, etc?
Even their OS and their flagship product are becoming less and less stable and reliable, as time moves on -- in fact, the only thing that's "improving" is the amount of "telemetry" they're managing to sneak past everyone (n.b. a huge amount of which is sent to ms by defender itself).
Do I trust the "*Icon Heroes*" to look after my security?
Like Hell I do.
