#hacking

23 posts21 participants1 post today
In the movie Hackers (1995), a group of nerds hack into computer networks to outsmart corrupt authorities and uncover a conspiracy.

The film features a mix of retro computing aesthetics, cyberpunk themes, and real-life cybersecurity concepts like sudo and root access.

@X00001 #Nintendo kicking #Switch2 devices off their network for #ToS violations is one thing, and like the #Xbox360 that is justifyable.

  • However remotely #bricking devices is not, as Nintendo does not own these devices legally when they are rightfully sold to a consumer.

Even #Microsoft of all corporations knew that they cannot cross that line, and merely exclude #consoles from #Multiplayer and #Purchases but still allowing people to play their games.

I am not affected and most certainly won't buy a #NSW2 / #SW2 for that reason alone.

In case you missed my latest #blog, I wrote about the early days of the ongoing hacktivist conflict between #hackers in #Pakistan and #India. It is part of my work bringing more of the #history of #hacking outside of Europe and North America to light.

Amazing and very cool that the news around the theft of data belonging to 2.5 million people from Columbia University, the third such hack by a neo-nazi #hacker in three years, has become all about the admissions forms of an NYC mayoral candidate that the right hates, rather than investigating who is behind the #hacking.
