  • From 2007: Why Are British Sex Scandals So Much Better than [America’s]? | Culture | Vanity Fair

    2012/06/08 10:05:48 BST

    Why Are British Sex Scandals So Much Better than Ours? Comparing Washington sex scandals with those of Britain’s political class is enough to cause any red-blooded American to blush with shame.

    So the dead, diseased and bracket-fungused Hazel in my neighbour’s garden finally fell last night. Just like I’ve said it would, for several years. In the process it entirely failed to demolish my fence. I’ll call this a win.

    Femme fatale From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about a type of dangerous woman. For other uses, see Femme fatale (disambiguation). Only a type of dangerous woman? Aren’t they all? And – let’s not be selective – aren’t all men dangerous, too?

  • I found something rather interesting in the alleged #LinkedIn password hashes – salting? corruption?

    2012/06/06 17:52:56 BST

    There is definitely some data weirdness. My old LinkedIn password plaintext is cud5dfyy – yes I know that publishing a plaintext is probably stupid but it’s short enough to bruteforce in Hashcat, has been changed, was only used for LinkedIn and is really really old, so I might as well save you the trouble.

    LinkedIn did a good job with people management in the last password incident, I hope they do the same this time. LinkedIn is disabling passwords of users whose e-mail addresses were included in the customer data that was exposed in an attack on the Gawker blog sites. The professional-networking site is taking this action to

    If it turns out that LinkedIn passwords have leaked… …here’s what you should do Rumours are circulating on the net that a database of hashes of LinkedIn passwords has been published on a Russian hacker site. I cannot confirm this, but if the article referred to above is correct then there is a risk to
