When they’re tied to the Russian government this comes as no surprise. The only thing that surprised me was that it took this long.

He doesn’t remember.

My surface with windows 11 has been hot trash. So many unfixed bugs. Dism, sfc, etc say everything is ok. Lol.

I’m not sure you can teach boys not to be horny teenagers 😜

Psychology 101.

WHY ARE WE YELLING?!

Ya this happens so much. So frustrating. On the voice ones I get so fed up I just keep saying “agent” until I’m finally redirected.

I laughed a little lol.

Not sure, been a while since I used those

Most threat actors are looking at who owns what IP space and checking the IPs of that, or what other public info they can find (website address etc). Not chasing after someone with a consumer internet IP. There is just not the same incentive.

I don’t get your point. This isn’t an attack, this is a cheap consumer company doing what they do best and stealing your personal information because $ and other crap. If this happened in enterprise they’d be in so much shit with laws. Cisco, juniper, Aruba, etc are not going to be shipping off your passwords because that liability is going to be a big problem.

Enterprise level stuff also charge top dollar and don’t need to sell your data to make more money.

If enterprise level stuff we’re doing this intentionally they’d be out of business. This would not fly with SOC and other security designations.

Additionally just because a consumer uses enterprise gear, that does not make them a larger target. I’m not Microsoft. No state attacker is going to want my worthless data.

Bill Gates doesn’t really do anything at Microsoft anymore

Unifi is probably the best you’ll get for prosumer. Unfortunately it’s not without flaws either. I’d take it over the junk consumer brands any day still. Because I work in the industry and I like to use a lot more advanced things, I can’t get myself to use anything other than opnsense for home use. I have a protectli for hardware. You can install pfsense, opnsense, probably even ddwrt which is probably the most friendly of the bunch from what I hear. I use a ruckus poe fanless switch, but this is the least important for a typical home user network. Just get something that has poe and isn’t cloud managed 😂

This is why I don’t run consumer crap. Among other reasons.

😂. "Oh you wanna go to the internet? Sure, let me NAT and route you to my gateway. "

“lawful interception” is a fallacy.

Originally I thought this said “Las Vegas or doom level”. I guess I’m thinking of 2040.

If only every American was well educated they might see…

Agreed. The real problem is affordability. Most people are already priced out and it continues to get worse.

How is this news in 2024? Haven’t they been bleeding for a decade +?

Streaming is new cable now anyways with fragmentation of media, ads slowly sneaking into various platforms etc. The golden age of streaming was brief.
