I'm wondering if Android is vulnerable, since it is based on Linux?

Microsoft has patented that approach!

Both are true, it is a single point of failure and a single point of convenience.

What always puzzles me about this stuff and critical infrastructure like nuclear powerplants, is why is an internal network connected to the public Internet at all?

If you have to connect it to the Internet, then why is it talking to unknown devices?

Pretty much everything that talks http has this Brotli library linked in. A quick file search on a Windows dev box showed:

- git

- Sublime text

- VS studio

- CUDA

- .NET

- inkscape

- AzureTools

It looks very bad that Telegram took almost 3 months to fix this vulnerability.

Reported 25 June

Fixed 16 September

I wonder why it took them so long?

There's more to this story than non-existent data centers.

The executive team is rather rotten, too. One of them, Oliver Curtis, having recently spent time in jail for insider trading.

Lots of big lobbying companies corrupting Australia, too.

Less "sophisticated" countries just tend cut out the lobbyist middleman and call it what it is - bribery.

There is not much goodwill in the world left towards Sony. They have screwed their customers over repeatedly (removal of PS3 Linux, PC spyware, removal of physical disks, banning arbitrary users online etc.), which makes the moral case for Sony piracy more ambiguous.

Hard drives are way bigger, but M-Disk is more reliable for very long term storage.
