Hello, so about 1 and a half years ago I thought I found a sort of vaunerability with google maps and over the following months investigateted it further I will go into more details in a secound and would like a discussion and hear your thoughts but mainly I would like to have you informed about this issue because it could affect youreself. If I have spelling mistakes or my grammar is wrong please correct me English isn't my native language. I will update this Topic with mor detailed information when I get all of my notes together ^^ The "vulnerability" First of all I asked 2 companys which sad it isn't eligable for bug bounty so please don't spam random Companys with this article -thx When you are googleing a company or a location google will normaly show you the Google Buisness information that they gathered by helpful locals or websites so google is able to display the Information to you. The Problem is that (at least in my county Germany and I think in others as well) Buisnisses don't claim there Buisness on Google, that leads to the problem that -someone- could enter false Information. To be fair depending on how drastic your changes are to the data that google shows more people will have to report or confirm that information. I don't know how to programm a bot who could do that, but I have had time so I tried how much you could change and found this: Change the Telephone number by 1 number: 1 User Change the thelephone number by 2 numbers: 1 User (sometimes 2) Change the telephone number by more than 2 numbers: Changes drasticly from buisness to buisness but arround 10 Users with local guide or 18 without To change the website I think arround 5 Users have to say the same thing and the website has to have the buisness information. -I didn't focus on this as much as on the thelephone number why will be described in a secound. The Problem with chainging the telephone number: When a telephone number is active on a location/ buisness it takes about [2-8] months for the Claim your buisness function to accept verivication by telephone again. A Person with malishes intend could use a telephone numer and send every incoming call automaticly back to the original number so noby would notice that this would be the wrong number NOBODY CHECKS A WORKING PHONE NUMBER IF ITS "REAL" OR NOT The second you are able to verify via phone number you could turn the call forwarding off to recive the call and verify a buisness wich isn't yours. When you verivied that you "own" that location/ buisness you are able to cainge the information shown on google without confirmation That leads to one of the main vulnerabilitis: You can change the Buisness Website to a simular domain wich 1 Displays a fake website to grab Information 2 Have a cookie grabber and forward you to the real website you the user wouldnt notice The other main vulnerability is that nobody questions if the google bisnes owner is the real buisness owner so you could post events and discounts on the google page this would lead to a lot op upset custimers and a bad buisness reputation. The thired one is that [I think] you could record the calls that you would forward to the other number if you would connect them vai your server but I'm not shure about this last one because to be honest I don't have the tecincal epertise but would like to here from you if you are more skiled in this topic. How to protect youreself: You don't really have another choice as to claim your google buisness and check your data regulary This also apllies if you are not a buisness in case you are a cities office or something like that you may have to ability to take out the ability that people change your data but not shure (again) Before I posted this I talked to my local Police and a few buisnesses who are effected I can't contact all of you and I really want to make shure nobody will be harmed by this so I wanted to get the word out. If you have any questions or something like that feel free to ask I will make a reddit thread as well but its late and I probibly will post the link here tomorrow Reposts and follow ups are hoped for I you do I would love some credit ^^ Stay save Fabian

Budget (including currency): Keep it reasonable Country: Canada Programs or workloads that it will be used for: Multiple Solidworks virtual machines, (Probably less than 4), and various other less intensive VM's. Also a file server. Other details I want to build a professional server to host about 3-5 Solidworks applications at the same time. Also want to host some smaller VM's and also want it to act as a file server, probably around 20tb. The reason I want this is because I'm doing some Solidworks training and don't want to buy a bunch of workstations, (Performance is ideal but not very critical). Planning on replacing the current Synology NAS with this and using the Synology as a backup for the server. What kind of specs would I need for this and is feasible?

Finding Mid-tier Ultrabooks in Australia So after a good couple hours of research i've collapsed and come to you all for some advice. I've been on a long winded quest to find a 13' ultrabook for my uni friend and come up empty handed. The requirements are simple, good battery life, alright specs, somewhere in the i5 region and around 8GB of RAM should do her fine, as long as it isn't over $1700 AUD. Now you might be thinking, that's run of the mill, why would any informed person need help? For the exact same reason that I haven't already told her to buy an LG gram. Because nothing is available in bloody Australia. Anyone got any reccomendations? Links appreciated.

I have recently been looking at the maxed out Dell 15 Touch as a laptop to get, and I have been really impressed by an i9 six-core CPU, 4K Touch display, and 1050 Ti (not for gaming), not to mention it’s only 4lbs. I also noticed it comes with 32GBs of DDR4 2666MHz RAM, and I’m not sure what exactly that is for, in any system that isn’t an extreme enthusiast PC. Side Note: I would use the laptop for school (architecture, physics, and upper level maths courses), as well as for compiling code, rendering some 3D models and objects, and photo/video editing and rendering. Microsoft Suite applications will be commonly used, but they hardly require anything. Would this laptop be a good choice for me?

Hey everyone, I've started putting together this build and was hoping i could get some advise. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/s4BscY I have about $1500 cdn to spend give or take. It will be used for business, lots of file management, documents, excel, marketing design, some Photoshop. it needs to be fast and stable with lots of storage. Thanks in advance!

Hey I'd like to set up my own business creating websites for people and then eventually proceeding to make promotional videos for small businesses. The problem is that, I have all the tools I need but I don't have any way of letting people know I exist if that makes sense. I literally have no money at all so I can't advertise or buy a web domain etc... I've created a website for my YouTube channel www.candy-records.com just so you can view the sort of quality to expect. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The serious style Berkle used in this video really resonated with the people in the YT comments, and I agree. What does everyone on the LTT forums think? Personally, while silly Berkle is fun and we get a lot of that from Channel Super Fun, I actually thought Berkle's presentation was really good here. He explained his gear in a way that I could understand what it was and why he used it, without going into Brandon-depth levels of information. While Brandon is a great resource for those who are camera enthusiasts and pros, Nick explained camera gear to an average Joe like me.

Hello everybody! I am soon hoping to find a way to start building custom pc's for people who don't have the budget to buy pre-build, and don't have the confidence to build one on their own. I was wondering if there is anyone who could give me helpful tips and tricks in doing such a thing, and how to get started. I am only 15, and some may say that i am taking up a big task, but i have already build many computers including the one i currently run, and some that i have build for friends. I have done custom water cooling, and many other exotic things that custom pc's are known for, so i have quite the experience on the pc building end. What I don't have experience in is the business end, and actually managing such an operation. Any advice or criticism is welcome. Thanks, Robot7600

Linus media group please make video of top 5 selective laptops....fro the following categories: 1:Business. 2:3d work and rendering. 3:heavy multitasking. 4:gaming. 5:casual use ALL THIS IS A BUDGET UNDER $750.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3l0M9 Above is a link to the pcpartpicker page. I have never built an office pc but i have built my own gaming pc. I am trying to make a pc that is cost effective (Probably going to make 4 of them) and powerful enough to run buisness programs, compile pdfs, and other basic buisness functions. Are the parts i have picked excessive or not enough? I am pretty sure i want to stick with the monitor (Its a great deal) but what about the cpu? RAM? (probably need to add a stick)

This is totally unexpected; there isn't much to say about the case itself other than the fact that I'm excited to see how this turns out and when it will be available. All I'm hoping is that the layout will either be improved or remain the same just with the Razer look to it. The real news is this is prelude Razer's licensing program so it would be kinda nice to see Razer cases across the brand and for Gigabyte to bring back their green sniper boards. I wonder if Razer will take the next step and start making their own parts to go with Razer Edition cases or just license their brand and allow the manufacturer to design it themselves. On another side note the Razer Edition of the NZXT H440 is what I originally wanted it to be all back except the logo. Although I didn't expect a green Razer logo to be there the sentiment is still the same. I'm very vain about the aesthetics of my personal rig so guess what I might be buying again. I say this is a case for me because I hated the gloss plastic and couldn't do the original green build I wanted. I really wanted to do a team green build with a Gigabyte Sniper motherboard, green HyperX RAM, BitFenix Spectre Pro Green LED, Corsair h100i with the block set to green, and of course a reference GTX 780 for the green logo. But now it's too late. Still like the all black though. http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/149-h440-razer-edition-mid-tower.html http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/razer-announces-pc-case-design-licensing-program-1918997.htm P.S. This is my first post here I ready the read this but I'm uncertain if this is a quality post. Imagine this case with the Asus Rampage IV Black Edition. Yes you can squeeze E-ATX motherboards in there although you'll end up covering the rubber grommets. Forgot to add tags.

Hey guys, So I recently branched off my current small buisness to start selling some more "specific"; If you will, Items. I gave it a lot of thought and noticed lots of pc gamers or enthusiasts tend to buy sound cards for upwards of 200 dollars, I myself used to have a sound card like this but eventually got rid of it because of bad drivers and sub par sound quality. Anyways, I sell stand alone amps on my website, if you're someone looking for a pc soundcard take a look at my amps, they don't add in any artificial sounds or require drivers. You just plug em in and play. Any feedback is really appreciated : ]. http://mayflowergaming.com/

hye, i need to se for a school project what bandwidht i need for a businesses of 600 people and 1000. they will do medium work such as: voip mail basic web browsing. my question how do you calculate this accurately , i found 2 main way of calculating. but they are that far apart that i don know what. Low – 100 Kbps (kilobits per second) or less: E-fax machines, VoIP phones, laptops and computers for emailing and simple web surfing Medium – 100-500 Kbps: More intensive web browsing, streaming, emailing, and downloading High – 500Kbps – 2.0Mbps (megabits per second): Devices that use cloud-based platforms and software programs such as Customer Resource Management, Point of Sale, and Enterprise Resource Planning Intensive – 2.0Mbps and higher: HD video conference devices and platforms and Internet speed (download) Number of connected users/devices What you can do 5 Mbps 1 or 2 Online browsing, research, email 25 Mbps 3 to 5 Large-file downloading, basic Wi-Fi, business communication 75 Mbps 5 to 10 Video streaming, frequent file sharing, numerous POS transactions 150 Mbps 10 to 15 Frequent cloud computing, video conferencing, data backups 250 Mbps 15 to 20 Server hosting, seamless streaming and conferencing 500 Mbps 20 to 30 Multiple-server hosting, constant cloud-based computing, heavy online backups 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) 30+ Extreme-speed operating for enterprise-ready offices with near-zero interruptions so i am confused of what i need
