Two guys from CZ have stolen $30k from Vodafone CZ customers by logging in using random phone numbers and password 1234 (Vodafone's password is just 4-6 digits). They got in quite a few customer accounts. It's possible the password 1234 was even set by VF customer representatives
... because some customers didn't even know they can log in. Customers now technically owe the stolen money to Vodafone and guess what, Vodafone wants them to pay because they had a weak password(!) which could even be set temporarily by VF(!) They even sent a debt collector(!).
Vodafone says your password is your responsibility and points to ToS. Bad guys were even able to get new SIM cards because they knew a phone number and a password. No additional checks. This article describes the situation but it's in Czech zpravy.idnes.cz/vodafone-krade…

Vodafone, WTF
Yo @thorsheim I guess we'll have a lot of juicy and local examples for our #LinuxDays talk :-)

#Köthen: Der Verstorbene hat einen Schlag ins Gesicht (an der Lippe feststellbar) bekommen, ging danach zu Boden und verstarb an einem #Herzinfarkt. Rechtsmedizin hat keinen Hinweis auf Tritte, sonstige Schläge, Messerstiche.

PK zur Tathergang auf @ntvde jetzt.
Im Netz verbreitete Audio-Datei mit angeblichem "Totschlagen" von der Zeugin selbst gegenüber Polizei weitgehend relativiert.

Nicht, dass das für die Hetzer, Neonazis oder #AfD eine Rolle spielen würde.

#Köthen
Schwere Herzkrankheit des Verstorbenen seit Geburt, mehrere Herzoperationen danach, versagensbereites Herz durch das es jederzeit zu einem Herzinfarkt kommen konnte.

Ob jemand strafrechtlich verantwortlich ist für den Herzinfarkt, ist im Ermittlungsverfahren.

I was about to call it a night, but okay since you're here bear with me.

First, let me start out by saying that I respect you as a veteran and thank you for your service to the safety of our country.
As the son and grandson of two vets, I can't say enough about the sacrifice that you guys make. So thank you. That said, I bet there's stuff that we agree on and perhaps more that we don't. But that's life amongst humans.
But what I take most exception to is the way that you've attacked pros, calling for companies to fire some, going after them in ways that go beyond the personal. I know you think it's just a light roasting and why do they take it so seriously and sperg out?

Thread: more analysis on the accounts Facebook took down two weeks ago, including their origins, how they interacted with Americans, and how they tried to cover their tracks.

Three posts. First one here: medium.com/dfrlab/trolltr…
We don't have 100% attribution. They hid their tracks better than the original Russian troll farm (more on that later).

Various pieces of evidence point to the probability this was the troll farm / Internet Research Agency again.

newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/07/r…
First point, and the most concrete link: FB confirmed that one of the pages, "Resisters," had an admin which was a known Russian troll farm account, for just 7 minutes.

Not conclusive on its own, but an important point.

How Africa's Airtime Currency Resellers Birthed Mpesa and Mobile Money /thread
Over 90% of Africa's mobile phone subscription is prepaid. in laymans, this means you top up your phone with airtime currency, before you can use mobile network services - calls, sms, data bundles /2
Walk up to an agent
Hand over cash
Agent tops up your phone with airtime currency

Then you're good to go!

Africans love it b/c its flexible. You only spend when you *need* to. /3

Attached is a statement drafted for Chigumba & sent to me via emissaries at Zimpapers. The minister wanted me to use the statement on the condition that I don't publish his name. Chigumba's superiors did not allow her to sign the statement. This left the minister out to dry. 1/8
I don't intend to humiliate Chigumba or to invade her privacy tabloid style. All I seek is to expose a clear conflict of interest that likely explains Chigumba’s arrogance against overwhelming evidence of ZEC's mismanagement of the election. She is conflicted & must resign. 2/8
We have seen a contrived and desperate ballot paper illegally designed to favour Mnangagwa. We have seen Zanu PF using VR phone numbers to illegally text voters. We have seen Chigumba illegally wearing a Zanu PF scarf. ZEC is obstinate & accountable to Zanu PF, not the voter. 3/8

Back in Berlin from this year's British-German #Königswinter Conference.

The best summary was incidentally provided by a border guard at Heathrow, who said to me upon seeing my destination:

"Please tell your friends we are still European". /1
A few more impressions: Everything started off with a clear political signal as the German official delegation arrived in the UK en route from Dublin.

Main message: EU-27 are the priority, and Berlin is 100% behind Ireland. /2
Most striking was the mood between Germans and Brits:

Brexit now seems to be more and more an accepted reality, with less grudge.

The deep regret is still there, though with a willingness to look ahead. /3
