There are about 25 court cases throughout the country that have a suspicious profile: All involve allegedly self-represented plaintiffs, yet they have similar snippets of legalese that suggest a common organization behind them. (A few others, having a slightly different profile, involve actual lawyers.) All the ostensible defendants ostensibly agreed to injunctions being issued against them, which often leads to a very quick court order (in some cases, less than a week). Of these 25-odd cases, 15 give the addresses of the defendants — but a private investigator (Giles Miller of Lynx Insights & Investigations) couldn’t find a single one of the ostensible defendants at the ostensible address. Now, you might ask, what’s the point of suing a fake defendant (to the extent that some of these defendants are indeed fake)? How can anyone get any real money from a fake defendant? How can anyone order a fake defendant to

Over the last decade, we’ve seen many online platforms offering repository hosting,
like SourceForge, Savannah, Gitorious, Google Code, Github, Launchpad, Gitlab… And
a bunch of others I fail to remember. They offer a great service to help developers
and the FLOSS community to make it easy to find and share code on a project.

Though, they all always sucked at one thing, it’s to integrate nicely in the flow
of coding. Some have a GUI tool, others integrate more or less in your editor (or
IDE), and that’s rarely the ones you’re using for your work.

The git utility has a rather well designed interface to make it easy to remember,
extend, and/or customize. So, out of

Advisory ID: DRUPAL-PSA-2016-003
Project: Drupal core
Version: 7.x, 8.x
Date: 2016-October-10
Security risk: 20/25 ( Critical) AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Exploit/TD:All
Description
Recently the Drupal Security Team has seen a trend of attacks utilizing a site mis-configuration.
This issue only affects sites that allow file uploads by non-trusted or anonymous visitors, and stores those uploads in a public file system. These files are publically accessible allowing attackers to point search engines and people directly to them on the site. The majority of the reports are based around the webform module, however, other modules are vulnerable to this misconfiguration as well.
For example, if a webform configured to allow anonymous visitors to upload an image into the public file system, that image would then be accessible by anyone on the internet. The site could be used by an attacker to host images and other files that the legitimate site maintainers would not want made publicly available through their site.
To resolve this

After 20 months in a closed beta under the working title Facebook at Work, (as we predicted it would the other week) today Facebook is finally bringing its enterprise-focused messaging and social networking service to market under a new name, Workplace.
It’s not only armed with a new brand: Workplace is launching with a new kind of pricing model based on Facebook-style monthly active user metrics; and some pretty big ambitions after picking up 1,000 organizations as customers while still in its free, pilot mode (up from 100 a year ago).
Workplace — which is launching as a desktop and mobile app with News Feed, Groups both for your own company and with others, Chat direct messaging, Live video, Reactions, translation features, and video and audio calling — is now opening up to anyone to use, and the operative word here is “anyone”.
To really gain critical mass for the product and help it stand out from others in the market, Facebook is courting not just companies’
