Thanks for sharing the article. This is pretty scary and quite concerning too especially because of the problems in the maritime waters. This type of cross-country digital hacks have become quite common now a days where countries are willing to do anything to get data for their own benefit. It is high time that countries have strong defense mechanisms and legal actions for such acts. You right pointed out that the legal rules between China and the US failed here. Such laws need to be scrutinized further

Shi,
Quite an interesting article that talks about how Memcached servers can be hacked using large DDoS attacks. As far as I know, prevention against DDoS is still under research and in fact many organizations still do not have the best practices to prevent such attacks. Such situations can only be avoided by having a centralized monitoring and triggering system to check port status of all devices rather than doing it manually.

Shi,
Nice summary of the article. I am quite surprised that WordPress allows execution of the PHP file at run time by changing the parameters. A similar kind of flaw was witnessed a couple of years back when users can potentially change variable parameters of images in WordPress sites and identify information of websites without security logins. The patch needs to be done as soon as possible before it affects users. I am pretty sure a large percentage of SMBs use WordPress for their business needs.

Shi Yu,
This is an individual action of someone who is either careless or who doesn’t know what he is doing. his action shows there are government policies that need to be changed and obligate employees to be careful with such sensitive files.
This is a very educative article that I am sure it will teach a lesson to so many people the consequences of taking government documents home. -
It is definitely an interesting read. I wonder what was the motivation of the NSA employee to take the classified documents.

Quick response by Facebook to fix the bug and it’s interesting to see bug bounty hunters.

Interresting…..it s good that they fix it.

That’s quite an interesting news and I am surprises to see such flaws from world’s largest social networking community. This is pure case of internal system fix and stands a good example for many businesses related to this. It’s good that it was reported on time before any potential violation occurred and extracted personal images.

Shi Yu,
your article is very similar to many articles who came one after Iphone 6 came out with the fingerprint login button. Everyone was talking back then about how Apple was collecting fingerprints of millions of customers all over the world. However, the people knew that an important sensitive information (Fingerprint) can be used against them at anytime and they kept using apple logins.
I do believe that this time again, the people will purchase more new IPhones and will activate their cameras to login using the Face-ID feature even tho they pictures of them and the people around them will be taken without their permissions.
