What patterns would show up?
Re:JPMorgan Says Data Breach Affected 76M Households on Thursday October 02, 2014 @07:07PM (#8403606)
" The number of households affected by the attack on JPMorgan [76 million households and 7 million small businesses] compares with the 145 million personal records taken earlier this year in a breach of EBay Inc. and last year’s attack on retailer Target Corp., which affected 110 million. "

Do 'responsive firewalls' exist, that would close a hacked connection just because of the size of the data that is flowing out?

[I have often thought a firewall would be a good golang project]

This is directed at members of China's military for proven hacking attempts for industry secrets. It will be really interesting to see how the USA reacts as I doubt China will hand over their army officers for prosecution in the US.

I do hate bugs that only pop up at 3am in the morning.

As I understand it, the problem is more in the compiler/interpreter than in the storage medium. Say, your using mysql to hold an int field - to alter the storage allocation to include more bytes is simple, even trivial. It is the language which will need to be updated to understand that it is using an unsigned integer for the unix epoch.

How is the data ordered?
But if you do watch it, be sure to stay on-trend and post a video on youtube of yourself while you watch it ala Joe Rogan, and more.

Can you share some links, this is very similar to something I am building with an old university buddy. FYI, we are focusing on verticals first; to conquer a large share of a small market before moving on.
Re:The New Firebase Security API on Tuesday December 18, 2012 @01:53PM (#4938883)
This is a great update and really opens it up for a hackathon project that I wanted to extend after the event, but the security issues had meant that it was better to wait until now.

Well done James T. and the rest of the Firebase team.

My old music teachers favourite claim to fame was that he is in the choir who made the soundtrack for that movie.

I'm sorry, but I won't pay for google so I can't use it.

Glad to hear it, have we seen any blogs from them about why they felt it happened?

Re:UK's Draft Communications Data Bill to be redrafte on Tuesday December 11, 2012 @11:35AM (#4905232)
The plans in the draft bill include:

Internet service providers having to store for a year all details of online communication in the UK - such as the time, duration, originator and recipient of a communication and the location of the device from which it was made.

They would also be having to store for the first time all Britons' web browsing history and details of messages sent on social media, webmail, voice calls over the internet and gaming, in addition to emails and phone calls

Police not having to seek permission to access details of these communications, if investigating a crime

Police having to get a warrant from the home secretary to be able to see the actual content of any messages

Four bodies having access to data: the police, the Serious and Organised Crime Agency, the intelligence agencies and HM Revenue and Customs
