The Med centre has no idea they're leaking so much data. If the same data was released from a computer breach there'd be hell to pay! -

#Spamhaus isn't actually blocking you. Your recipients are relying on Spamhaus to determine what they (your recipients) will allow into their mail server. So the fault lies with your recipients, who have chosen a third-party that mis-identifie… -

MITM cert software is all too common. There's a whole ecosystem of vendors selling MITM "solutions" to corporations. And since nobody ever checks the cert details when they're browsing with https, nobody realizes they've been compromised. Never… -

!OpenHardware may not be sufficient. Maybe the microcode which loads the new firmware on the drive controller has been compromised, altering the firmware as it's being loaded... "Reflections on Trusting Trust" by Ken Thomson is required reading: http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html -

I think federated group takeovers are unlikely to happen. It could happen in today's non-federated groups too, but all #Fedizens seem to be a polite bunch. And if a takeover of a federated group gets to be too much for an admin, she can always … -
