This company is specifically about analyzing blockchains to unmask the users (which is easy for Bitcoin and other non-encrypted "crypto")

I find it hilarious that they got hacked. Especially since they made many misleading claims about their ability to uncloak Monero transactions (they couldn't, aside from a few edge cases)

    There will be a job interview somewhere that asks “what’s your worst programming mistake?” And some dude is gonna say, “so back when I worked at digicert, I was responsible for….”

    Because they were available on the public Internet with a widely known easily guessable/brute-forceable password in 2026.

    And then leaving them there after a well publicized breach happened?

    If it was 2002 it would be embarrassing, but not unexpected. This is pure incompetence.

    Absolutely.

    Brick and mortar offices and banks are closed on week-end as employees need to rest.

    It wouldn't be uneasonable to restrict or close some online services during week-ends to let IT and incident responders rest.

    It's *sshole because it's both a reference to ssh access, and the fact you could log in with the password ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** (or any string over 256 characters long).

    The site linked covers it in more detail: https://sshhole.com/

    No of course spycorp gonna then try and argue anything with eyeballs = impairment.

    I do feel those with visual impairment is a good tech case. But it needs to be highly regulated on both side.

    FTR I hate the things. And big tech can’t be trusted. However the tech still has a reasonable purpose if big tech could keep its big nose out.
