  1. A data breach of 1,500 sites that did not implement HTTPS has surfaced. The leaked information includes emails and passwords in plain text. More than 2 GB of .txt files containing user credidentials were freely available on http://www.pxahb.xyz . The breach has probably occured in December 2017, judging by the files' date of creation. I can't provide you with the full list of affected websites, but there are no "big ones" amongst them(e.g. Google, Yahoo, Amazon, etc.) as they all implement HTTPS correctly. The website has been taken down, but I found some url reports that contain screenshots: Report 1 Report 2 There is no information about the breach in mainstream media, the only coverage that I could find is a YouTube video from the (fairly) popular Linux youtuber Quidsup. He is a reliable source when it comes to computer security/privacy and related topics(btw he works as a malware analyst). I will try to update the topic if any new information appears. However, the leaked data still shows that people are not very creative when it comes to passwords, phrases like "123456" and "password" are common. But the ones to blame are the people who maintain those websites. Having a login page on your website in 2018 and not having HTTPS enabled is a complete suicide - sniffing HTTP traffic can be done by anyone skilful enough to power on a computer. SSL certificates are not expensive to obtain, and certificate authorities such as Let's Encrypt give them out for free. There is literally no excuse for not having HTTPS on your website. Update: Thanks to Google's cache we have part of the list of affected websites: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:lITAZhUWlk4J:pxahb.xyz/emailpass/+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=en
  2. So oneplus released a statement -> https://oneplus.net/black-friday-2017 Basically they say that they're selling the device for a fair price year-round(they've stated this before) and they stand up against "price games". However, they're giving you a whopping $0.01 discount on the 5T and 50% off the dash charging bundle. Personally I think that's okay to some extent. I don't think that it's that fairly priced, considering that they're still exploiting so many workers in China. But still, some of the components could be the reason for the higher price - things like UFS 2.1 and the RAM are not that cheap anymore. Also, back when they were selling the OP3, there was a shortage of AMOLED displays. But still, the jump from 399 for the OP3 to 499 for the 5/5T is pretty bad for the whole "flagship killer" thing. Not that it's not a great deal, I'm just expecting the price to hit the 600 mark sooner or later. Edit: Added my opinion(so the post meets the guidelines)
  3. A nice gaming configuration when it comes to graphics, hell lot better than Mac(if that's even a computer), smaller than the average laptop, could be hooked to the TV and used as console(without the crappy joystick FPS expirience). Besides that, it can actually run goverment-spyware-free-Linux(the anti-version of Windows 10). Oh, and if you need this configuration for non-gaming purposes, you can turn it into a router. Very, very overkilled home router.
