I am not surprised. I don't use Ring, but I can guarantee that every one of these camera companies have done this. Amazon handed Ring footage to police without user consent (msn.com)

Killer price right now, 5 computers, and 15 month exclusive. It's been in my cart for awhile, I bet it don't last at this price. I think it's normally about $40 on Amazon. Amazon link $14.99

I ran across this little device awhile ago. It is almost like a Pi-hole in some ways, but also does so much more. Just plug it into your network and then you have full control. Also no monthly fees. They do have a new 'blue' version due out in February. https://firewalla.com/

Has anyone heard about these? 2 years on battery life is decent. Seems they are an Amazon company now, so works with Echo etc. Reviews aren't to bad on them. https://blinkforhome.com/

So I don't know how many of you have already heard about this, but it really is large news. AMD processors are not vulnerable to this type of attack. All computers with Intel chips from the past 10 years appear to be affected. The fix for it? A 30% slower computer! Get ready for some major slow...

A malicious new Chrome extension has been discovered, and it's a serious security risk. Capable of capturing everything a victim types into an infected Chrome browser, Catch-All is spreading through email phishing attacks. It has only been discovered in Brazil thus far, but it has the potential...

Two vulnerabilities have been uncovered in Microsoft Windows security protocols which could lead to password cracking and domain compromise, researchers have warned. This week, the Preempt security team said the bugs were discovered in the Microsoft Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM) security...

I like to share articles regarding Security and Technology via Facebook. I thought it would be cool to share here with everyone @fluxoid.  Would the admin prefer I create a separate thread for each article or one solid thread where I may input the articles/link to avoid it looking messy? Thanks

I wonder with the recent ban of larger devices on airplanes from some Mideast and Africa countries, if this will be the beginning of whole bans all over?  Not only is the U.S. doing it, but looks like the UK will enact this as well.  This affects carry on items, but can still check them in on...

And here they are looking to blame the Russians hacking America, when it was their own kind. Source

I really enjoyed watching this video last night. It made me look different as all locks are the same. Seems like Master Lock is pretty easy to pick.

I have to admit this one would be hard to fake. Plus watch when it hits the water, it doesn't slow pace at all. WTF? :alien:

Wow I don't even. Sounds to me like the NSA got to them. Link

Why was Social Security even ever started? Did the government think that people just didn't and don't know how to save for their retirement on their own? While I agree so many people don't it should be our decision on how we spend and save our money. We have so much taken out of our checks each...

I remember when they did this just two years ago and their back at it. Really makes you wonder don't it? The Homeland Security Department wants to buy more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition in the next four or five years. It says it needs them -- roughly the equivalent of five bullets for...

So I was thinking of buying a security camera system with a DVR box. I would like a good system and am willing to buy something up to $1,000 for a 4 to 8 camera system. This would mostly or all be for outdoors around the house. Does anyone have any recommendations? One thing that worries me...

They at least fired warning shots at them. http://www.liveleak....=5e2_1333668975
