Reverse engineering can be fun.


I'm an enigma, even to myself.

The Russian teen was using Snowden's NSA software.

I don't understand the big deal.

So some kid stole a bunch of one's and zero's.

There are plenty more.

The world has gone insane.

Theft of one's and zero's will get you sent to prison, labeled a terrorist or even called a traitor.

We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.   Funny how that works.

SERIOUSLY....YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND????
Target, said  it affected up to 110 million shoppers
Around same time similar attack on luxury retailer Neiman Marcus
6 More Stores Attacked By Same Hack As Target: Firm ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/17/six-other-stores-are-bein_n_4618414.html )

Who do you think ultimately bears the cost of these breaches?
Have you been victim of identify theft????  If not, wait and see just how much trouble
it creates and the issues around it all.  Identity theft cost billions annually....and you think it's no "big deal"
that someone (kid or whomever) creates these malware programs and sells them to the cyber criminals
with the intent of robbing people!


JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!!  
JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

If you value your one's and zero's so much, don't spread them around the world.

People must learn that anything you put out there is a risk.

Your words, your wealth and your personal information.

Trusting a billion dollar company with millions of employees and millions of weak spots is like trusting the NSA.

People's identities get stolen because they type it into a form and hit send.

Secure websites are a myth.

Believing in credit card security is like believing in the tooth fairy.

I would consider the Target hack likely being done by an employee/on behalf of/or a stockholder of, Lifelock.

Every card swipe or keyboard entry is your voluntary entry into cyber warfare.

A warning label should be printed on all credit/debit cards.

this will be used as the next step in bio-identity value......

no ID = no purchase of food/water etc
