Give it time :)

You asked if it is legal. The answer is it is illegal. That people are acting illegally does not change that fact.

If you record the live match yourself, and have a legal agreement/license with the club to broadcast then yes.

If you mean can you just steal streams from other broadcasters which have already got those agreements and paid large amounts of money for them then, unsurprisingly, the answer is of course bloody not!

OK, now I've deleted the spam I have to ask: are you serious?

Oh, and anyone reading that and thinking 'this looks like a web developer who can meet my needs' and then clicking those links urgently requires increased medication...

I smell either:

a chancer pretending to be a competant web developer

or

a spammer posting any old crap to publicise his signature links

Goodwill Industries International, a network of 165 community-based agencies in North America, has been breached. This follows a previous announcement of a potential attack back in July. After an extensive forensic investigation lasting a month, Goodwill has now confirmed that "a third-party vendor’s systems" were indeed "attacked by malware, enabling criminals to access some payment card data of a number of the vendor’s customers."

According to the statement, about 10% of stores (or 20 Goodwill members if you prefer) using the same third-party vendor were involved; Goodwill insists that there is no evidence of malware on internal systems. The breach was of third-party systems containing payment card information of certain Goodwill members’ customers. Those numbers may appear quite small, but actually when delved into equate to 330 stores in 20 states and an estimated 868,000 payment cards compromised.

The attack took place between February 10, 2013, and August 14, 2014 although some stores were not exposed to such a long period of attack. Details of those store locations that were impacted, in case you are worried, can be found here.

One question that remains unanswered at this stage is who the mysterious third party vendor is, as the Goodwill statement does not name the company involved. Ken Westin, security researcher at Tripwire, says "the fact that Goodwill is not mentioning the third-party vendor by name, makes me question where the blame may lie. I believe the statement is purposely vague and raises more questions than it …

Yes?

What platform?
What version?
What handset?
What problems are you having?

Really, nathanaelneal, are you? Odd, seeing as you are a consultant at a networking company. Odd that. Seem likely either you/your company are crap or you are asking these questions in order to add a spammy sig at some point. So which is it?

Welcome to DaniWeb. I hope your bits get fixed soon :)

MasterChat, see C++ forum

You've come to the right place to learn, yeyo, welcome again.

So, a bunch of US financial institutes have been hacked. Nothing new there, if we are being brutally honest. The newsworthyness in this particular case comes courtesy of one of those organisations apparently being none other than JP Morgan Chase. USA Today reported yesterday that a federal law enforcement official had told the media outlet, unofficially, that Russian hackers were behind the series of breaches which resulted in the loss of "sensitive data." JP Morgan Chase did not confirmed the accuracy of the report, but a spokesperson did tell USA Today that it uses "multiple layers of defense to counteract any threats" and "constantly monitor fraud levels." Which is about as helpful as a bucket of mud to clean the floor with. The FBI were a little more forthcoming, admitting that it is working with the secret service in order to determine the scope of "cyber attacks against several American financial institutions."

So what do we know about what happened? The answer, as you might have expected by now, is very little. That hasn't stopped the security industry from lining up to provide DaniWeb with some guesses though.

Philip Lieberman, CEO of Lieberman Software says that the ability to overcome the typical financial defense-in-depth strategy outlined by JP Morgan "points to capabilities that go beyond criminal activity and are in the realm of nation state capabilities" and warns that most of the financial services sector has "little to no protection from nation state attacks and is not willing to spend …

There are no book are published to do seo

Really? Amazon reckons there are about 12,000...

Blue Hat SEO is the name of a SEO outfit, it is not a methodology, concept, technique or technology.

There are only two types of SEO, right and wrong. Forget the whole colour-code thing - it's just a distraction. Focus on getting your SEO right, that's all.

That's got to be the most ridiculous question yet, and there are some stupendously ridiculous ones posted by some folk in this particular sub-forum it has to be said...

Hi Amit

Welcome to DaniWeb

Try answering the questions people have asked you, and then you might get the help you are after...

If you posted a proper question, where it goes in an appropriate forum, rather than tagging apparently random thoughts onto a long dead (six years old) thread then you might get a better response...

Can't see any valid reason to delete it, to be honest. OP is asking for help with code, which may yet well be forthcoming and could help other members to learn from the OPs mistakes.

Am I alone in finding it ironic that the 'Best SEO company in Bangalore' has to ask what page rank is and how to increase it?

What? It is an article... The clue is in the fact it says News Stories in the directory structure.

How is it spammy, by the way? I'm really looking forward to your explanation.

Do bear in mind that I'm one of the admins here who helped write the rules...

There's a truism that I like to share with as many people as possible: if you don't want other people to see something, then don't post it online. It is, you might think, a pretty simple concept to grasp. After all, you wouldn't stroll into a bar with a megaphone and yell "I'm not wearing underwear" if you wanted to keep that secret would you? But would you write that fact down on small pieces of paper and slip them unnoticed into the pockets of people in that bar if you wanted to reveal all (please excuse the unfortunate choice of phrase) without revealing your identity? In a nutshell, that's what apps such as Secret promise to do; but such a promise of anonymity is always going to be hard to deliver.

Secret is one of an increasingly popular application genre known as 'anonymous sharing' which lets you send 'secrets' to your circle of friends without them actually knowing it was you. At least, that's the idea. Seattle-based security outfit Rhino Security Labs quickly shot holes in it with a remarkably simple work around. Secret relies upon 'crowd anonymity' for want of a better description, you join up and let the app interrogate your contacts book and Facebook friends to find others using the app to build your secret social circle. To see any of their posts, you need to have seven or more friends but you won't know which of your friends these are because the app doesn't tell …

I think that anything which encourages site owners to take security more seriously has to be a good thing, and implementing SSL certainly falls into that category.

Kelly_Burby, nope - my comments was just stating that all too often spammers use cut and paste content as a vehicle for their link payload. That was all. Not aimed at you...

Yes you can. However, we don't show our forum signatures to members who aren't logged in...

And, surprise surprise, a sig link for the same company that the banned user(s) had has now appeared...

A new thread should be started, as per the keep it organized rule of: Do not hijack old forum threads by posting a new question as a reply to an old one

Amen to that!

It may have been marked solved, but in thir last post the OP stated "more help please" which suggests that there is, indeed, a need for further comments...

And yet, Nathanealneal, your profile says you work as an IT consultant for a networking company which 'helps customers understand networking cables'.

Either you are a very crap consultant and nobody should employ you or your company, or you are just building up your post count and getting ready to add a spammy sugnature link to your cable company (again).

Whatever, something smells very bad...

Plus, it rather depends if you were the person doing the asking origianlly in another place. All too often, cut and pasters and just lazy spammers looking to promote a link...

OK, so that's your homework. Now show us what you've done so far and what you are having problems with and someone might be able to help you.

Otherwise, I'm afraid to break it to you, but you're dead in the water here...

SuperValu has confirmed that is has, indeed, suffered a data breach. The supermarket company stated that what it calls a "criminal intrusion into the portion of its computer network that processes payment card transactions for some of its retail food stores, including some of its associated stand-alone liquor stores" may have resulted in "the theft of account numbers, and in some cases also the expiration date, other numerical information and/or the cardholder’s name, from payment cards used at some point of sale systems at some of the Company’s owned and franchised stores."

If you thought that was a bit of a mouthful as far as breach disclosures go, you probably wouldn't want to read the paragraph that follows and which states that the company "has not determined that any such cardholder data was in fact stolen by the intruder" and that it has no evidence to suggest the same. It goes on to say it's making the announcement "out of an abundance of caution." Cut through the cautious, and at times confusing, language and at least you can appreciate that SuperValu is doing the right thing. How timely it has been in doing that is harder to fathom.

The statement says that the earliest period the data could have been compromised was June 22nd, through to July 17th at the latest. What isn't 100% clear is exactly when the breach was discovered, although SuperValu does state it "took immediate steps to secure the affected part of its network" …

Welcome to DaniWeb, and welcome to C :)

The structure of the question, and the lack of clarity/sense in many of them, reminds me very much of a user I recently banned here funnily enough...

Hello

Welcome back, here's hoping you find what you are looking for this time :)

You can't. See the Terms of Service, in particular this paragraph:

Posts contributed to the community immediately become the property of DaniWeb upon submission. Members may edit their posts for a limited time period immediately after, for the purpose of correcting spelling and grammar mistakes and accidental ommissions. After this initial period expires, posts may only be edited or deleted by DaniWeb team members, and only in cases where they do not comply with our forum rules for the purpose of making said content comply with all rules. As a discussion community, posts contributed by many members work together to form coherent discussions. Altering or deleting individual posts may have consequences that unfairly extend to other members of the community. All members are held responsible for their actions. As always, think before you permanently post something on the public Internet.

Now banned due to that confession...

Please be sure to read the rules though Simri, especially 'read the forum description to ensure it is is relevant for your posting' and 'do not post the same question multiple times'.

Weclome. That's quite an intro :)

That's cool. What's with all the capitalisation though :)

Welcome

Just to clarify, I was sent the information about the vulnerability along with all the detail as a potential news story by the PR company acting for Alert Logic. There was no 'leak' as far as I was aware, it was just another in a long line of communications from PR companies and security vendors/researchers that I get on a daily basis in my job as a tech journalist specialising in IT security. The difference with this one, compared to many, being that I thought it would be of interest to the DaniWeb Linux commuunity.

I wouldn't believe anyone who presented me with a serticicate.

Some would argue that SEO itself is a game, and one that gets ever harder to win as the rules are constantly changing.

Hey D, DaniWeb is the team you are looking for! :)
