    Doaky got a reaction from Symion in Should Gamers Nexus publish a correction?   
    Bro, Linus said he wouldn't spend $500 to retest something, if it wouldn't change the conclusion lol.
     
    Even if the exact semantics about WHY it wasn't returned are slightly different, Steve's point about it being straight up incompetence / lack of care / lack of time for checking their work remains 100% accurate.

    Based on personal experience, absolutely not. 
     
    Sexual assault allegations are very serious, lawyer’s won’t touch it without being contacted first. 
     
    And based on how smooth brained and angry most LTT fans have been over the existing issues. I wouldn’t be surprised if Maddison gets harassed so much she leaves most online presence

    The amount of people in this thread who are saying “she should have said something” have clearly never dealt with any form of work Place sexual harassment and it really shows. 
    Unless there is a strong support system in most tech environments women experience this more as the norm. 
     
    Her entire story rings extremely true, I worked in a startup style environment for a year, and the sort of things she’s described almost line up perfectly with what one of the only women on staff experienced, and the upper management/founders tossed her under the bus. 
     
    This entire thing is heartbreaking and LMG should face very real consequences

    Same honestly. 
     
    “She should have said something sooner”
     
    This entire thread is filled with the exact thing she was fearful of. People blaming her and trust Linus and Co, despite everything pointing at this being very likely true

    Based on my experience, having worked at one very “google-esque” place with less than 100 employees and big corporate environment with thousand plus. The sexual harassment was ALWAYS at the smaller places, the bigger environments was just normal corpo bullshit of paperwork not being done and ladder climbing. 
     
    Not to take away from you’re experiences, but for me, I’ve seen this exact thing happen

    Doaky reacted to Bsmith in Dell, toshiba and lenovo, three strikes OUT!   
    Since this news hasn't reached official channels yet I will do my best to write it down here as detailed as possible and give as much information I can.
    I am not responsible for any sites visited in mentioned article, I personal strongly recommend people not to click the links in aforementioned tweet/site unless they know what they are doing and possible dangers, since you might cross the line on what is legal and not!
    In case this topic contains links or anything that goes against the CoC(due to this being a grey area to me) The mods are allowed to remove them, although I would appreciate if the tweets where left in place, since they are my source's.
     
    on 3 December 2015- 7:36 A tweet got released with the following text.
     

     
    The tweet by thewack0lian a security researcher claims to have found an exploit which is able to hit 3 OEMs through pre-installed applications.
    Not much later another twitter account confirms that these OEMs are Dell, toshiba and lenovo and calls this a hattrick(3 goals within 1 game in football/soccer)
     

     
    the link in the first tweet sends you to a page which has a small introduction directly pointed at the OEMs and a way to contact the researcher through IRC channels.
    The message contains the following text.
     
     
    Further on the page there are a couple of links, the first one being a download link which allows you to use these exploits and discover them yourself and maybe even safeguard yourself in case you run a system that is vulnerable for one of these exploits. The second link on this page is also a download link, but then for something rather different, once again aimed at lenovo, for who this truelly is the 3rd strike if you remember the earlier this year related superfish incident which involved lenovo.
     
    Although I have not looked into this myself, I assume that the breaches found can be considered harmful until more information gets outside.
    The dell related breach might be related to a bug reported earlier today, which allowed outside people to ping(check) a whole network form a single infected system.
     

     
     
    Since this hasn't reached official channels yet and none of the named OEMs has out any official reports on this it is hard to tell how big the leaks are and how much abuse has already been done.
    Although it doesn't seem like this researcher wants to do harm to the OEMs, it seems he took this approach to ensure their attention and alert people, since together those three OEMs make up a fair share, if not >50% of the prefab system market, which only enlarges possible dangers of the issues.
    Like I said before, I am no professional on this subject, but I can see the potential dangers in this case they are able to go from bypassing a security line up to full system breach, considering one of the issues gives access to a "hidden" part of the OEM's solution centre which gets used for hardware checks and a extra safety measure.
     
    Up till now this is everything I have been able to find about this, since I can't stay awake the whole night(would love to do that I will do my best to update this once again tomorrow.
     
    UPDATE:
    I have been trying to look into this more, without passing the barrier of my knowledge and not crossing the line of things that might be legally questionable.
    Sadly the outcome didn't give any more insights into this or the way the breaches could be abused, so far I know non of the companies has let out any official news yet regarding this, they might put out a official respond once the issues have been solved or abused in such a way that it could endanger their whole eco system.
    Looks like they try to keep it under the radar out of safety which is understandable, but for how long it's going to work?

    I just heard the "winner takes all" from a Valve employee.
