You know what's infuriating? Trump will say things like this TODAY. And will flub 10x as many things as Biden. And will legitimately praise Putin, not even on accident. And yet, does THAT get any press coverage? Nope. Fuck this timeline and every last one of you making an issue out of this. Every. Last. One.

News flash: Biden was misspeaking back in the 1980s. It's who he's always been.

This kind of thinking is the result of a deliberate, conscious effort to not understand how this works. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha no.

He was toast, but then a corrupt SCOTUS did the unthinkable, and Democracy is on the brink. Your friend is an idiot and is basically supporting the end of democracy at this point. There are no legitimate replacements for Biden at this point. Anyone saying otherwise is working for the other side.

To paraphrase Mitch Hedberg, they used to have them, but they still do, too. They are to password managers what OceanGate was to submarines. There's some basic protections you need to have in place, and they didn't have them. Then they were hacked. Then they were hacked again. And both times, their response was to defend their known bad practices, rather than to do everything possible to fix them. The people running the company then are the people running the company now. I like their UI, too. But I wouldn't store anything in their system that I wouldn't want made public. So passwords are out.

never any doubt there's a long list of folks who tie for second place, but also a long gap between first and second

This is correct.

Also, but... for the love of Lucas, a goddamned metal detector?

And y'all know I'm no critic of Star Wars. I usually defend anything with droids in it. If anything, I aim my hate towards the so-called "fans" who seem to trash it at every opportunity. Its roots are in Edgar Rice Burroughs and that sort of thing; it's pulp silly fun in space. It's not supposed to be deep or scientific or anything, although it's kinda neat when it is. But sometimes, bad is bad.

I'll watch the next one. I'm a sucker for anything Star Wars. But yeah, this is... not good. I think it does benefit from binge-watching; whole story would've fit better as a single direct-to-streaming movie. Then they could've nixed some of the garbage, I think. Maybe even made a more sensible story. Alternatively, they could've written it like actual episodes and given the characters a bit more depth so that the motivation isn't just... ...because the plot required them to.

I do this for a living, too. And LastPass had a poor reputation before they got hacked. Security researchers were warning people about them BEFORE they were hacked. LastPass was to password vaults what OceanGate was to submarines; don't yell to me about Ran sinking in the Antarctic and try to make some bullshit equivalence there. Subs and Security products are naturally swimming in dangerous waters; don't try telling me that a company failing to do basic due diligence is in any way like the companies that do and suffer failures as well.

"Being ahead of most orgs" is not the bar here. They are a security company selling a security product that doesn't follow basic security best practices. That's like going to a butcher to have surgery done; sure, he knows more about cutting things open and anatomy than MOST people, but he's not a trained, licensed physician, either. Their problems were known, and security orgs were yelling about them, well in advance of the breaches.

I don't know WHAT she was doing. And I'm not sure she did, either.

And why did she do this? Because the plot required her to. And no other reason.

No.

What farmersnotfighting is saying is simply wrong, though. LastPass was terribly stupid. For example, there was no requirement on your master password length; it SUGGESTED 12 characters, but nothing stopped you from making it shorter. They also allowed those master passwords to be stored. Not one-way hashes, but the passwords themselves. From the perspective of anyone with even a basic understanding of security, it's dumb; what launches it into the abyssal depths of stupidity is that they were supposedly a security company, to store all your secure things. It's like a bank vault built out of cardboard, LastPass is. They weren't even trying, and they were known to be insecure well before the breaches. Multiple breaches.

No. Lastpass got lazy and stupid.

Yeah, I'm going to finish the show just to see it through, but this is the episode where the awful writing finally lost me. Lee Jung-jae is a great actor. The fight scenes are the best lightsaber/force user fight scenes we've ever seen. Some of the lore has been good. The rest is just... low-rent sets exposed by overdone lighting, wooden acting, and some truly horrible writing. I mean Star Wars has always had problems here, but these are particularly bad. Literally nobody's behavior makes any sense, other than "He/she/they did this because the plot requires them to." I can look past that once in a while, but in episode 7, it's literally every character doing nonsensical things based on the slimmest of explanations at best. This guy here, he wants to go home. He wants to go home so badly he's going to ignore everything he's taught... why, exactly? This guy here, he wants a student. He wants a student so bad he's going to ignore everything he's dedicated his life towards because... but why? This person here, she's doing the right thing, except now she's going to suddenly lie about it and cover it up because... why, exactly? Because the story requires them to, that's why. Idiotic.

that's why we don't use lastpass

please do not use lastpass 1password and bitwarden

Any evidence/law enforcement contact on the attacker?

I'm looking forward to the incident response report on THIS one.
