I work at the IT call center at my university, so I am the first one to hear about any tech issues from students or faculty. A huge portion of this is people who clicked on spam emails that phished their university login info. That gets access to the system that controls your scheduling and payment stuff, homework and coursework, and most importantly email. Usually the only change they make is to forward the emails to some random account and amass tons of potentially sensitive stuff. Other than that they just use the compromised accounts to spread more spam. It's mostly new students that fall for it, but since there are dozens (usually 30-40, sometimes hundreds if the chain gets bad) every single day, you are bound to get a professor or tech major that really should know better. We constantly remind people not to click links from "our" emails and staff people 24/7 if they are unsure and want to call. The whole system is a mess and if this group of people doesn't get it I'm not sure who will.code:code:code:code:code:sleppy fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Aug 2, 2016 |

https://soundcloud.com/replyall/76-lost-in-a-cab That short podcast came out recently and is pretty closely related. Their main focus is a lost and found site, but they talk about how sites like the one you fell for can basically just pay money to scam people on google.

The hacker girl literally just tossed some USB's into their parking lot to get into the police system as well iirc. Like someone mentioned, something like that is often the only realistic way into a system, and I'm sure there are plenty of real life cops who are stupid enough to do it.

When poo poo like this exists, that becomes a legitimate liability. It may not blow up your computer like some claim, but Apple won't be happy when you go into their store and ruin one of their computer's USB ports.

That really just saves the hacker the trouble of going out and putting it on that public computer themselves. You should assume every public computer is insecure since who knows what other people put on it knowingly or not. In our labs on campus the computers are fresh each time they boot, so I usually restart one if I'm putting in any somewhat important passwords.

It's called Google Opinion Rewards now but it is indeed sweet. I was telling a friend about it and guessed that I had maybe made around $20 over two years, but I checked my history and it was $50. The quick $0.29 cent surveys add up and you get the occasional $1. I have never spent real money for an app.

Yeah, there are sometimes some funny made up brands that they ask if you've heard of, I need to start writing them down. When you first sign up they ask about your demographic, which I haven't been able to change. Maybe look into who is the most targeted first.

http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/ is a great command line tool that can download from a bunch of sites in lots of formats, and you don't have to worry about any shady third party. https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/ someone made a GUI for it as well if you don't want to bother with commands.
