John McAfee's "eating shoe" fail // ISIS attacks "Google" (the wrong one)
John McAfee better prepare to eat a shoe because he doesn't know how iPhones work http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/03/john-mcafee-better-prepare-to-eat-a-shoe-because-he-doesnt-know-how-iphones-work/ Former antivirus developer and presidential wannabe John McAfee claimed a couple of weeks ago to have the perfect solution to the FBI-Apple stand-off. He offered to crack the iPhone for the FBI for free. This would let the government agency gain access to the phone while freeing Apple from any demands to assist. So confident was McAfee of his ability to help out that he said he'd eat a shoe on TV if he couldn't get into the phone. It will probably not come as much of a surprise to anyone to learn that the FBI has not been beating down McAfee's door. = = = ISIS hackers target the wrong Google http://www.newsweek.com/isis-hackers-target-wrong-google-431911 Instead, the website of Add Google Online was defaced with ISIS imagery and a message stating, "hacked by CCA". A French-language Islamic State song also played, promising: "We will kill you without pity... for Allah alone we wear suicide belts." The site, registered to Indian firm Always Say, offers search engine optimization (SEO) services to local businesses but is not connected with Google. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
