    www.justice.gov Computer Programmer Convicted for Helping Run One of the Biggest Illegal Television Show Streaming Services in the United States

    After a two-week trial, a federal jury in Las Vegas yesterday convicted a Cuban citizen and U.S. permanent resident for helping operate an illegal streaming service with one of the largest quantities of infringing works. The defendant, who was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit criminal ...

    > According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Yoany Vaillant, 43, worked as a computer programmer for Jetflicks, an online, subscription-based service headquartered in Las Vegas that permitted users to stream and, at times, download copyrighted television episodes without the permission of relevant copyright owners. At one point, Jetflicks claimed to have 183,285 different television episodes, far more than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Amazon Prime, Disney+, or any other licensed streaming service. At Jetflicks, Vaillant worked directly with Kristopher Dallmann and Jared Jaurequi, who were convicted of criminal copyright offenses by a different jury earlier this year.

    I believe that people here are smart enough to not fall for Bitdefender marketing.

    I post also on the cyber security community articles from antivirus vendors that contains a valuable info, with the same belief that people won't fall for marketing.

  • Abusing Ubuntu 24.04 features for root privilege escalation
  • Article Date: September 9, 2024

  • No, Your iPhone Is Not ‘Mysteriously Rebooting’: Here’s What’s Happening
  • 404 Media also goes into more detail of exactly what’s happening and, crucially, when. According to Chris Wade, founder and CTO of the cybersecurity startup Corellium, the reboot happens after four days.

    Well, that’s information which will be useful to the police in Detroit, who can simply ensure they access each iPhone before the four days’ limited expires.

    Of course, as the report goes on, it means that the real target of this update, criminals who have stolen your iPhone, will also now know to check in with the phone every few days. As cryptographer Matthew Green pointed out to 404 Media, “This feature means that if your phone gets stolen, the thieves can’t nurse it along for months until they develop the tech to crack it. I would bet that rebooting after a reasonable inactivity period probably doesn’t inconvenience anyone, but does make your phone a lot more secure. So, it seems like a pretty good idea.”

    The original issue was making police in Detroit think that a series of iPhones were sneakily communicating with each other, as we’ll discuss below, but a new report talks about a “hidden feature,” as Charles Martin at Apple Insider describes it.

    This feature is called inactivity reboot and it means that if the iPhone hasn’t been unlocked for a certain period of time, it will automatically reboot. Rebooting puts the iPhone in a state where a physical password is required to unlock it, “and is similar to a feature found on Macs. The Mac version, known as ‘hibernation mode,’ saves the state of the device to disk when put to sleep, in case the power fails or the battery runs out before the user can return to the machine,” as the report describes it.

    I am not saying this as a person who analyzed thousands of posts to come with this.

    I thought this is a basic concept given in my post.

    But incase it wasn't clear, all of this are simple observations based on my subjective use of social media and for sure would not represent the whole left, as it would require deeper analysis of thousands of posts and comments.
