I hope you didn’t upgrade to Windows 10...

in #news7 years ago

Get ready for major Windows 10 exploits and security vulnerabilities! Because 32TB (32,000 Gigabytes) of Windows operating builds/blueprints/source code just got leaked online. Now any hacker can list trough private/manufacturers Windows source code. Of course, your average Joe doesn’t even know where to download this, yet alone store it, but it is circulating online.

The Register made one of the first articles about it. Also it was talked about on 4chan here.

But to sum it up, the leaked data is:

  • online but not easy to find
  • “top-secret” builds that were not meant for the public
  • confidential Windows-developer-only internal data
  • all kinds of unreleased Windows versions
  • important debugging data
  • kernel code, drivers, and other “manufacture only” code
  • and many more “source kits” that were available only to a select few

Honestly, most of this dumped data is not that useful. But, as with any other leaks, there will be some golden nuggets for those that know what to look for. Anyway, windows is still a tech giant and will keep on rollin’. But, this just goes to show you how Windows is not as safe as people believe.

What do you steemer think?

Sort:  

I'm trying to sign up with steemian but it keeps saying user name doesn't exists any ideas ?

use the "Steem JS Authorization App" and enter your steem username as well as your "active private key" - you can find this key when you go to your account wallet in steem and click on premissions tab, then next to active key, click show private key

Where do I get the js app from

on your streemian account, it is at the unlock your account section

been there added the information but keeps waiting for account name am i putting the right name in Robbierush ?

there is 3 possible tools to unlock your account in streemian, try out the other 2

I have done both now used js app unlocker and the other one on the left it still saying waiting to unlock steem account I sent the 0.001 dollar it shows all my account on streemian so what's next ?

come to slack, we can talk there

hey man so i did everything to join the guild, just one problem. you say to use the 100% power up, but 50/50 earns you 44% more. As a steem dollar is worth $1.88. you should change that. If you don't want to change it, can you just trust me to power up? thats what im going to do anyways.

this "MUST USE Rewards: Power Up 100% so our guild Steem Power will grow exponentially faster - it is a WIN-WIN for EVERYBODY"

I see what you are trying to say... i will speak to Dan about it (@dhenz)
the problem is, I can't be running around making sure every guild member is powering up and converting all the SBD to steem then to SP... and the steem dollar will fluctuate so this is only temporary

true, but from the trend, its only going to go up. Isn't 50% steem power enough for the guild to grow anyways? I mean people are going to want to take a profit someday.

me and @dhenz are working it out and still discussing those rules. people can always power down. but the point of the guild is for all of us to grow into whales together, this guild is not meant for direct profit. (also the more SP you have, the more interest you get on your SP from new blocks)
this guild is all about long term investment, and it is not for everybody

agreed. powerdown is fine, but you bring no value if you constantly take from your power, your upvote becomes worthless. It is not fair to the others who are saving and giving out lots of money per upvote to receive nothing from those who can't contribute.

alright, but in the mean time, if I do get added to the group is it okay if I use 50/50 so I can grow my steem power faster. Like just for me personally.

Welcome aboard!
You have been already added. But there will be no exceptions: you must follow all the current guild rules as well as the rule for rewards power up 100%

alright, chief.

Good thing I still use win 8
