So hey, Russell or anyone.
My father has had sleep apnea for some years and due to 2008 finance fuckery the loss of most of his retirement funds and loss of his career, his health has been in a downward spiral. In particular his mental health worries me. Just reading the title of this post I feel strong emotions about this issue. Imgur.com and getting him the fuck off television has been a godsend as its more than a one way street, but without massive financial help all the needed care is impossible. Jesus christ this post is sad fuck the USA.

They suspended the account, they didn't cancel it. On a Sunday morning when you're fixing a security hole and you know who penetrated it you suspend that person's account. On Monday morning you figure out what to do with them.

Haha what. Do you maintain any sites? Tell us what ones. I want to warn all of your users that the admin is someone who will disable an account of someone who committed to master on a project that is not theirs and feel he has accomplished something.

This attack is hot precisely bc it blurs the local/remote line.
Physical access is relative. 'Remote' vulns are still exploited with some level of physical access: i.e. via a network that lets you touch bits on the other side of the machine's ethernet jack / wireless card.
The other extreme is standing over the ripped carcass of the machine case, triumphantly raising an unencrypted hard disk over your head, and blowing a kiss to the receptionist on your way out through the main lobby.
The OP's attack can be staged multiple hops away, through a physical network of peripheral devices. In a heavy SAN or PPPoFW environment, where FW cables are regularly disappearing under desks, a somewhat-insider could dump a lot of RAM.
RAM which, for some goddamned reason on OS X, apparently contains an unencrypted copy of my login password?! Ouch.

Added to the bucket list.

edit: dem words aint right. :)
TPB have made themselves a kind of bastion against the copyright rentseekers by being a visible and hard to quash target. The kind of money and effort wasted against them is impressive.
Of course, what this verdict establishes is a precedent for hashes having the same status as the original copyrighted content.
To burnt timber with the corporations and their enablers who press so hard to suck each of us all of our life's potential while wielding the profits as a weapon against those they dislike. This includes the justice system and their precedents.
I don't want to conflate the whole Canadian pharmacy thing with criminal activities related to buying drugs online. The fact is there are Canadian pharmacies that are licensed by the gov., and only sell legit products, and they do it online. As a Canadian, if I buy them it's basically the same as popping down to the Pharmaprix and shopping there.
If an American buys from one of them they are making a safe purchase IMO, but breaking drug importation laws put in place more to protect the bottom lines of drug companies then to protect the consumer.
Now if a canadian or an american buys drugs online without reasonable assurances they're dealing with a reputable company... well that is stupid/sad/dangerous as you said.
That is where Google crossed the line into being evil, bypassing their own internal checks and regulations accepting cash for ads to sites that never were associated with any real pharmacy or any product at all. Judging by Glavmed's success and shadier sites with shop fronts calling themselves "Canadian" this is totally not isolated to one paid snitch.
These rogue pharmas source from India for generics, wherever they can to buy branded narcotics, and lord knows where for counterfeit opiates/benzos. Real Canadian pharmacies used to be more directly involved selling to the US, including narcotics, but that was years ago. The dirty bit is not at the pharmacy selling to people with prescriptions but those knowingly diverting to unscripted use, or the mules who use doctors to fill out scripts that then get sold. Then at the pharma affiliate networks paying spammers for traffic. Spammers paying google for adverts pointing to shop fronts. GOOGLE ACCEPTING CASH AND BYPASSING THEIR CHECKS THAT SEE IF ALL THE ACTORS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY ARE LEGIT who then post the adverts to the shop fronts who may or may not be listed as Canadian who may or may not be sourcing via legal means from what may or may not be a Canadian pharmacy.
Krebsonsecurity.com has multiple write-ups on these types of operations which use advertisers like Google for traffic. In this case though Google employees at multiple levels went beyond just being a provider of traffic to being an co-partner in the conspiracy.
The term "illicit drugs" is a little disingenuous. Google wasn't posting ads for heroine. They were posting ads for pharmacies that sold Claritin a few dollars cheaper than US sellers.
Apparently you have a hard time reading since I posted the link to the story I am refering to along with the quote in the comment you replied to that is totally contrary to what you stated. So here we go for a second time:
"By the end of the operation in mid-2009, agents were buying Google ads for sites purportedly selling such prescription-only narcotics as oxycodone and hydrocodone. Agents also got Google's sales office in China to approve a site selling Prozac and Valium to U.S. customers without a prescription."
Google wasn't posting ads for 'heroine' alright, they were posting ads for what they thought were suppliers of opiates who were selling without prescription. Illicit pharma opiates are in the same catagory as illicit black market opiates or, heroin as its called. If you cared to actually read before responding you would know that this was all included in the article.
