Anyone have a preferred method for physically disabling the microphone on an indoor security camera? (Wansview Q5)

I have the microphone turned off according to the app, but I'm getting audio feedback when I have the app running in the same room as the camera, so... I don't think it's really off.

Would polymer clay in the hole do the trick?

Just received a new, #ISP-issued #modem / #wifi #router at home after a lightning strike destroyed the old one.

The new device stores all the settings including the WiFi #password *in the cloud*.

As we all know, nothing bad has ever happened to a large number of passwords stored on a server. #securityfail #proximus #belgium #internet

Yet again, nobody bothered to reset the rental car before handing it over to us. At least with this car it isn't trivial to get to the address books without connecting to the associated device first...

Can you guess what the security code is?

So, the "secret" code to open the doors of one of the biggest UK's has just been televised.
Hope they changed it since when this got filmed. 🤦‍♂️

Thanks Santander! :blobfacepalm:​

Added to the fact that pasting the password is also prevented making a password manager hard/impossible to use and this is genius level security I just don't understand in place here.

I'm not convinced that an 8 character password as would be allowed is going to be all that strong under this policy. There are other factors that add some strength overall but no special characters seems a mighty odd decision.

Nothing inspires confidence in a bank like the message,

"The password you gave is too long."

#bankOfAmerica #securityFail

"Please shut down any antivirus software or other background applications before beginning installation."
Really, #SquareEnix? What kind of #ShittyAdvice is that?

Also, good luck shutting down all background applications in this day and age. xD

#SquareEnix, your password and e-mail restrictions, use of security questions and other sign-up form requirements suck...

• Password field can't be pasted into
• Password field can't be filled by the browser's password generator (option doesn't show up)
• Password phrases aren't possible as spaces seem to be disallowed
• Additional restrictions such as limiting the amount of repeated characters only provide additional rules for brute force systems, thus reducing the total amount of possible choices. In addition they make it hard for password generators to create a valid password.
• Putting limitations on the kinds of special characters allowed, makes me wonder doubt your user input sanitation...

In addition to this, they are asking for a 'security question', which are notoriously easy to find, guess or social engineer.
The first couple of answers I gave were also refused.

Plus-signs are also not allowed in the e-mail address field, thus making it impossible to use #PlusFiltering, while also going against the #EMailRFC, which states that plus signs are allowed in the local-part of the address.

Is it fair to blame #HP in this case? I'd assume that this was #Microsoft #Windows #securityFail.

Ekurhuleni My COE application, the meter reading functionality in the application leaks the following data over plain http
Latitude
Longitude
First Name
Last name
Mobile number
Siyakhokha username
Siyakhokha password

Here is a sanitised version of the link they use http://129.232.208.13/metermanagementproduction/Home/Accounts?latitude=-&longitude=&FirstName=&LastName=&MobileNo=&username=&password=&fcmToken=REMOVED&platform=Android #SouthAfrica #Ekurhuleni #SecurityFail

TIL that Judge Sirica prepared to receive the first set of Nixon White House tapes by asking the NSA to install a special, super-high-security safe in his chambers.

He then set the combination to his wife’s birthday.

Researchers Say Microsoft Office 365 Uses Broken Email Encryption to Secure Messages

I really should've put a few cable ties or something through the whole of that key before letting #BeardGrabber play with this #padlock. 🤦‍♂️😅😖

(It's also why I prefer #locks that need the key to be inserted to actually lock them...)

Tried cutting a copy out of a tin can, but all I got out of that was a small cut. The metal probably was not thick and sturdy enough, or it might also have needed the raised edge on the side. Guess I could look up #lockpicking instructions for a #MasterLock no.130.

Fortunately I should still have some other locks in a storage box, and am not in urgent need for one. :) Might find a spare key too, if I look for it; else I can always cut or file through the key. :)

Banking is horrible. My Bank seems to have started a new portal, invalidated all login data and does not tell their customers?

So it looks like phishing, and I don't know if such a company thinks about security.

This way it looks more like if they have been hacked and don't want to be honest.

Ah ben bravo... "automatiquement sécurisée", hein...

Mais le pire dans l'histoire, c'est que si tu entres l'URL avec HTTPS, tu obtiens un avertissement que le certificat est auto-signé, puis tu es redirigé vers le site de leur prestataire web... 🤦‍♂️

Gruselig, gruselig.😱 Auf der Bank gewesen und am Schalter einen Zettel als Notiz für Username und Passwort gesehen. #securityfail #itsecurity.

Und um das ganze noch zu toppen, war das pw nicht Sonderlich clever gewählt. 🙈🙊
