@NetworkNerd said in Cloudflare Reverse Proxy Bug Leaked Uninitalised Memory:

I am wondering...if you use CloudFlare for public DNS record hosting only and chose not to accelerate any of your records across their CDN, would you be at risk based on what was discovered in their "leak?"

No

The argument here has been should a law which has been around 'forever' and not designed to effect services outside of a local region, still effect the user / supplier of services.

And I kind of agree, update your laws. Do the job you're there for. You (congress and company) are there to develop fair laws that protect and serve the country (and our neighbors) equally. Which means you need to draft laws which can be updated with technology. Granted there is going to be backlash on it, but that is why you were hired.

To sort it out, and find a good solution.

Salt projects probably.

@aidan_walsh said in Krebbs hit by 665Gbps DDOS:

There are some indications that this attack was launched with the help of a botnet that has enslaved a large number of hacked so-called “Internet of Things,” (IoT) devices — routers, IP cameras and digital video recorders (DVRs) that are exposed to the Internet and protected with weak or hard-coded passwords.

The future is shit.

@scottalanmiller I work at a government education board, the laptop was one we had in reserve.

Government is buying Chinese products with software to violate their basic security on them instead of American ones without? That makes me very sad 😞

I'm not in the US, and I've read about the NSA Cisco backdoors 😉

Unless you are in China, it's still the same problem... but definitely don't buy American either. Same problem, different solution, buy Taiwanese. Only machines you can trust. In the US, anything passing through customs may be modified to spy on us, so it doesn't matter the source. The problem with Lenovo is that it isn't China spying on us, but a single company. I "trust" China with my data (because it's worthless to them), but I don't trust Lenovo because, well, they are bad people.
