The last paragraph says it all: PGP itself is safe but the way the
third-party clients decrypt it is not.

I have said it before, and I'll say it again: Until we start at Layer 2 and
build in all the encryption/authentication/verification things we have
learned and developed over the last forty years, and include ways to add
others as they are developed, the Internet will not be universally safe. We
have piecemeal answers for some of the problems, but there is no overall
structure for implementing the things we need today to provide secure
communications.

Personally, I can see a tiered structure. The lowest tier is essentially
the way the Internet is today, You roll the dice and you take your chances.
Good for things like newsletters, bulk mailings, etc, but pretty much
unsecure. The next tier up starts implementing things like white lists,
verified receipt, and other lower level functions to increase security and
reliability. Each tier upwards adds more features such as stronger
encryption, authentication, secure identification, etc. And one will have
the option to add additional tiers for unique requirements above and beyond
ones universally available. Of course, there will be costs associated with
each tier, and it will be up to the individual user whether they will be
willing to pay for those features.

I hear you.

I went to a local lawyer to have a simple power of attorney drawn up.
They email me the thing for approval/modification. I questioned their
use of email for this, to find out "that's how we do it..."

So I start poking around and figure out how to call up the header
fields, to find out they don't even have their own domain, but their
domain and email is held on Yahoo servers.

The problem is huge, the perception is minuscule.


And as we know, Yahoo is synonymous with prosperity and security,
*especially* since they put a woman at the helm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_Savage
Do you really think that the CEO's of companies understand the
business of the companies they manage? They only understand profit;
let me restate that: they only understand PROFIT!!!


Considering how much worth Yahoo lost while she was at the helm, I
doubt that she even understood the concept of profit. She was probably
put in that position for the same reason that Justin Trudeau put women
in his cabinet: because it's 2016. You don't need to work hard or
prove yourself to get to the top anymore; you just have to be
something other than a white male which is supposedly overrepresented
in business.

Not the solvency of the company, not the long term viability of the
company, not who they hurt or what they do, just the instantaneous
peak dollar amount of the stock price. That is all that matters.

Being female has nothing to do with it, greed and short-sighted
stupidity affects women as well as men.


Had she been competent, she would have understood that Yahoo had
little to offer the technological world and sought a buyer before
anyone realized how worthless the company actually is. Instead, she
took her time, allowed everyone to notice how crappy their products
were and how little they offered the Internet and let the value drop
before being forced to accept a pathetic bid. At least, that's what
*I* would have done if I didn't have a brilliant plant to make the
company more relevant (like creating worthwhile digital content,
possibly produce good online games or get exclusivity on online
broadcasts of certain sports).

However, let's be honest, Yahoo didn't have a hope. Their search
engine sucks as do the e-mail, the forums and just about everything
else. They are/were in the 1990s and still seem(ed) to think that web
pages need(ed) to be designed for people on 28.8kbps modems. It was/is
sad to watch.

And Marissa Meyer was a former Googlite, thus already
tainted by arrogant disregard for human decency. She's
been noted numerous times for not caring about privacy.
She even cooperated to write software to let the NSA
access yahoo email clandestinely, without even consulting
her own security chief.


She deserves to be hanged by the balls.

The solution has to be partially encryption, but the real
problem is that there are no laws to cover the issues.
Companies that store data online are not punished.
Companies that sell your data to each other are not
punished. Even where it's illegal there are workarounds,
such as CVS selling customer drug records to drug
companies when doctors couldn't.

I read the other day that an organization (caprivacy.org)
is pushing a new California privacy law. But even that is
just a joke. They want to enforce an opt-out option on
selling data. You'd have to specifically tell companies
you don't want them to sell your data!
As I read their website, with warnings that I should enable
javascript, I looked at the source code. They were trying
to track me via both Facebook and Google Analytics.
I wouldn't be surprised if the people pushing this new
law don't even know their website is doing that. The ignorance
and stupidity is jaw-dropping. It's so bad that I actually
can't tell whether the caprivacy people are naive or
whether they're really industry plants assigned to push
a toothless law for PR purposes.

I think Ed Markey and others are pushing a real privacy
law, but I don't know the details.

Fullscale encryption is great for people like political
activists in Tibet or Iran, but for most people it's not
a realistic solution. I don't know anyone who's even
heard of PGP, much less set up end-to-end
encryption. The only realistic approach is to make it
seriously illegal for people to read your email
or track you online, just as it's illegal to read your
postal mail or set up surveillance in someone's house.
But it has to be gravely illegal, because collecting
and analyzing the data is so easy.

There was an interesting article in the New Yorker
some time ago, about Estonia.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2...gital-republic

They have little privacy, but anyone accessing
personal info is logged and the person is notified.
If the accessing party doesn't have a very good
reason they can be in big trouble. It's a completely
different approach. Essentially computerization
planned for society rather than engineered by
"yahoos" (and Googlites, Facebookies, Amazonians,
Apple maniacs, Microsofties, etc) operating in a
Wild West environment with no real planning or
vision -- only profits for big business on their minds.


I'd say the end-to-end encryption should be enabled by default and
even when a person is simply browsing the web. There should be a
secure connection between the web site and the user (https, obviously)
but also one which cloaks the address someone ventured onto from
anyone snooping on the connection. A lot of people think that knowing
that their neighbour went to something like bigtits.com doesn't matter
since they don't know what they did on it, but I don't think my
neighbour needs to know that I go onto
pussycatswiththeirlegsspread.com.

Especially if they're a member of PETA.

Watch out for claws. Oddly, I find that cats
with their legs spread are sometimes not
trying to seduce me.

You are preaching to the choir there.

Take HP... another (dreaded) woman a the helm. She did everything
"right." But only from a short-term marketing stand-point. She was
perfection itself - but Wall Street and actual people are something
else entirely.

She is/was competent - but the formulas that worked in the past, just
weren't working. It wasn't her ability so much as it was someone
thrust into the center of a mess and expected to do something - that
she'd been trained not to.

Carly Fiorina, is a self aggrandizing idiot and asshole, IMO, but I
can't fault her for following her programming. HP was already on the
rails, she applied all the short-sighted stupid ideas that all before
her did... A+ for book-learning, but no new insight and direction.

(hey, I was the last 56K modem on the block, asshole, would probably
still be, except the ISP's software didn't allow me better than 12K)

It ain't about women or men, it is about human greed, altruism and
stupidity.

What matters isn't money. If enough people caught on to that, Wall
Street would have a problem, but society may teach them a few things.

Despite protests from employees, Google is still charging ahead with
a Department of Defense collaboration to produce machine-learning
software for drones. Google hasn't listened to a contingent of its
employees that is unhappy with Google's involvement in the
military-industrial complex, and now a report from Gizmodo says
"about a dozen" employees have resigned over the issue.

apparently you're oblivious to just how easy it actually is.

simply download and install an encrypted messaging app. no need to know
what pgp is.

here's a list of popular options:
https://fossbytes.com/best-secure-encrypted-messaging-apps/

there are also encrypted email options, although not as common as
messaging.

The only realistic approach is to make it
seriously illegal for people to read your email
or track you online, just as it's illegal to read your
postal mail or set up surveillance in someone's house.


reading other people's email is illegal except in very specific
circumstances, such as a court order.

at google, reading *any* user data requires multiple authorizations and
anyone who tries to get around that will be fired on the spot.

But it has to be gravely illegal, because collecting
and analyzing the data is so easy.


collecting and analyzing data isn't anything new and not necessarily
bad.

it's just *much* easier now and can be done in ways that were once
impossible.


Sure.

But unless you were born today.. you know that human greed avarice and
stupidity will more than likely screw things up.

I'm a 70+ year old retired electrical engineer. If there's anything I
understand is that I DON'T understand. I understand lots of things
and understand lots of people, but I'm far from knowing it all.

I worked (indirectly - in my "chain of command") in the 60's for the
NSA, in electronics "espionage." It wasn't really espionage - since
it was broadcast over the air waves and we managed to decrypt it. But
there were no limits, and no ethics as far as what we could/should do.

None of this is new. It has been happening long before personal
computers. You have no idea how/what/where/when the our government,
other nationalities, and marketing corporations want the least smidgen
of your life for their data banks.

I'm a dinosaur. I understand electronics very well. I cut my teeth
on vacuum toobes (transistors cost more in those days). I got my
first ever (personal) computer in 1990 (after programming and using
some corporate computers to "robotics" what we did in
pharmaceuticals).

Thanks to my NSA background, and a paranoid mother, I'm the least
likely of persons you'd track along the Internet... but not because it
couldn't be done, and very easily, but only because there's so much
data, and "they" couldn't possibly deal with it all.

That is my faith...

Practically? most of what I knew is probably declassified today.

The millions of dollars, the sites, and the infrastructure. (massive
concrete buildings with only one entrance, and a Marine guard) There's
only a tale or two left and an organization that will remember 'till
the last member dies.

BUT DON'T EVER BELIEVE YOUR GOVERNMENT HAS YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT
HEART OR THAT THEY ACTUALLY DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY DO.

It's all a lot of bull**** to keep us believing what we want to
believe, and not reality. If you know, you can't talk, if you do
talk, your life changes forever and not for the better.
