Is 1password the easiest password manager for boomers? Should I try to get my parents on it? (I'm not really looking forwarding to trying to manually import their free-form txt file of passwords but I guess I can deal with it if it will get them to stop using insecure passwords.)

how did DarkSide gently caress up their wallet security for them to have it "recovered"? or they gave it up voluntarily. https://twitter.com/NatashaBertrand/status/1401969917633740801 Diva Cupcake fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Jun 7, 2021 |

I was getting my mother in law squared away on a password manager last month. I walked her through the ui of 1password and dashlane to see which one she liked best and dashlane was much much better. We ran into like a dozen confusing pain points with 1pass for some reason and dashlane had a much nicer "guided and on rails" setup experience for her.

Something something tumblers I got a "we have your password from 2009, send us $1000 in butts" spam and looked up the Bitcoin wallet out of curiosity. Apparently two people paid the random. Very disappointing.

Darkside got owned shortly after the attack, either by the feds seizing their servers or by them getting hacked. Here's some contemporary press but there's lots more: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/darkside-ransomware-servers-reportedly-seized-operation-shuts-down/

so apparently the AN0M messaging app was a FBI/AFP plant designed to lure in criminals: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-08/fbi-afp-underworld-crime-bust-an0m-cash-drugs-murder/100197246 good quote at the end, any ideas what this would have been: quote:legal authorities prevented the app from being covertly used for a longer timeframe.

Trimson Grondag 3 posted:good quote at the end, any ideas what this would have been: not a lawyer but this reads like australia or the us has a statutory or regulatory limit on how long this activity could go on. since this was providing a (compromised, but still useful) tool for organizing illegal activity that could also trigger some rules about providing useful stuff to suspects - if something happens and the cops can't move quickly enough to prevent it they can end up with something similar to the "fast and furious" thing that resulted in a bunch of american guns provided by the dea ended up killing innocent people and cops in mexico. a chat app wouldn't directly kill anyone but legally they're kind of on the hook for stuff that gets planned on it even if it would have been just as easy to use telegram, signal, etc because someone can always argue that the sense of security provided by the cop app emboldened the suspects to plan and execute an operation they might otherwise have chickened out on.

Though I thought bitcoin was untraceable if you used the coin mixers or whatever. Like the transactions are in the block chain, but the actual owners of the wallets are anonymous. I could be wrong though.

go play outside Skyler posted:i think Bitcoin is dumb as much as anyone else in this thread but i doubt making it illegal will make anything but a dent in the mining and criminal activities associated with it. people are going to find ways to convert from crypto to fiat one way or another through weird legal hoops. If businesses and state entities cannot purchase cryptocurrencies at exchanges, crypto extortion crime dies. I think a lot of people in infosec don't understand the scope of fiat currency control.

remember that besides cryptocurrency, the most viable ways for scammers to cash out large amounts of money involved gift cards and tf2 hats banning cryptocurrency won't eliminate cryptocurrency, it would effectively neuter its usefulness for cybercrime when foo corp gets cryptolockered and needs to pay criminals 2 million dollars, it's not good for anyone that they can go to the bank and actually acquire 2 million dollars of cumcoin.
