聖誕快樂!


The problem here is that for Android and iPhone, I have the option to lock down the device using Android Device Manager or Find My iPhone.

However, I can still pull out a SIM card and put it on a different phone.

That's the difference.


The SIM card is pin-locked. If not, you have as big or bigger problem at hand.


Your wireless provider can't/won't deactivate a SIM card if the phone is stolen?


I can imagine the time when my phone receives an email to my Yahoo mail, with my email address shown before my phone being unlocked, and the password to login to my mail box is next to it, in the notification.


Configure your phone not to show sensitive information on the lock screen?


This is so bad on Android 5 it's not even funny. When you enable that option it shows the whole list of notifications on the lock screen, each one of them has "sensitive information hidden" underneath, taking up lots of space. I know that sensitive information is hidden, I chose that option, no need to tell me for every single one of my notifications on the lockscreen!!!!


I'm always bothered that the SMSes for 2FA show up on the lock screen... could we not agree on a set of words that can block any message from appearing on the lock screen. Even just anything containing PIN or password would be a good start.


Seems like DDoS toward the US?

It's hard to judge whether what is on this page indicates anything without some reference or historical data.


Here's something that I've always wondered: Where do they get this data?


In this case, at least, honeypots. From the linked page:

> Every second, Norse collects and analyzes live threat intelligence from darknets in hundreds of locations in over 40 countries. The attacks shown are based on a small subset of live flows against the Norse honeypot infrastructure, representing actual worldwide cyber attacks by bad actors.


Probably backscatter?


Anywhere in the world but not Macau?

Nor in The Bahamas, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Burma, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Comoros, Cote d'Ivoire, ... (that's just the letters 'B' and 'C' - I gave up after that!)


Not a big surprise - 600k population and a slow incumbent monopoly telecom provider means hard work to support for not much reward.


It seems like an indicator of the current progress of the stage.


I thought of it as a glitch too.. till I made enough progress in the game to find that it was a progress bar. Would be better if it started from the right of the 'up' button and not from the very edge of the screen.


Yeah we noticed some people didn't get it right away. We tried a few designs and this one was the best D:


Indeed, it's a progress bar.


I'm wondering what would the differences in terms of difficulty between getting citizenship by finding a start up and getting a green card by working for Microsoft be.
