Iran cheerfully admits using cryptocurrency to pay for imports

Re: A Rigged Market

Oh please, you cannot be serious. Who on earth told you those dodgy myths have been and are working well, hammarbytp?

File them alongside the one about the arbitrary punitive raising of interest rates the Governor of the Bank of England is routinely obliged to insist is effective in controlling and defeating inflation rather than creating more profit for banking systems in the throes of existential collapse and investor exhaustion.

Have a well deserved downvote for that rampant misinformation which is so despicably misleading and counter-productive.

A Rigged Market

Simon, Hi,

Long before the advent of cryptocurrency, all of the woes for which it is now cited as encouraging .... speculative trading, making the ransomware industry possible, and helping authoritarian states like Iran and North Korea to acquire materiel for weapons. ..... was the exclusive preserve of fiat currency and there was never any great fuss about that, was there?

So what does that tell all of us?

Patch Tuesday: Yet another Microsoft RCE bug under active exploit

Finally ... some Real ACTual Progress ‽ One could almost imagine there are Machines Revolting.

There's no denying the fact, Jessica Lyons Hardcastle, IT is a Juicy Lucy lush target rich environment becoming ever more impossible to easily command and remote control corruptly for perverse inequitable self-centred gains and elite exclusive exquisite executive advantage.

However, as strange as it may be, ..... and it is probably that old qubit quantum communication thing kicking in, where and when a this is also a that and together they be something else quite different and able to change at will into practically anything ...... IT is also a Juicy Lucy lush target rich environment becoming ever more possible to easily command and remote control corruptly for perverse inequitable self-centred gains and elite exclusive exquisite executive advantage.

That makes for a more than just interesting and crazily chaotic future if basic missteps are made and payments which are deemed worthy to parties for their diligent restraint ensuring a mutually beneficial continuity of present activity which prevents guaranteed markets collapse and intelligence communities carnage are missed ...... or not, as the case may also be.

More GBIrish to Input for Output and Try to Avoid being Classed More Epic Eponymous BullShit.

Although this next question/these next questions are UKGBNI specific, they are equally applicable and valid in any other national/international jurisdiction/virtual space place on Earth bordered with a thin line on a map.

Who sanctions/authorises the UK Treasury [Indebted to the tune of £2,365.4 billion/£2.3654 trillion/£2,365,400,000,000 at the end of March 2002 and nursing a current account deficit of £15.8 billion/£15,800,000,000 in Quarter 1 of 2022 [an excess of government spending over income] ..... and it should come as no surprise to you that more up to date figures for the UK Treasury at the end of Quarter 2 (June 2022) are not planned for release until 28 October 2022 9:30am, but be assured they are bound to be horrendously worse than was ever expected or experienced before in the lifetime of existence ..... and the Bank of England [a similar unelected body] the payments to a handful of Conservative party members, [some of whom are admitted criminals] being admirably shown every day now to be totally unworthy of any great wise further support for products and projects they neither own nor command and control but with which they practically hold the population to ransom with, with tales of jam tomorrow and the catastrophic crippling debt burdens of today to be kicked down the road and passed on to future generations of your children, and their childrens' children the great white hope aired on the rocky hustings road to riches and plenty to head off too much present forensic introspection of the Grand Deceit and Universal Ponzi of the Failing and Ailing Magic Money Tree Program?

And what shared there is not accurate and true and gibberish?

Another wrinkle to consider actively deployed to plausibly deny self-employed.

One thought that Schmitt said doesn't usually come up in the discussion — unless the criminal gang has been sanctioned by the US Treasury or a similar body, in which case it's illegal to pay a ransom to them — is the ethics of paying a ransom that, in turn, finances additional illicit activities and potentially oppressive regimes that back or orchestrate ransomware campaigns.

Another thought that doesn't usually come up in discussion, for who would want to admit it is true, is when a criminal gang has been authorised by the US Treasury or a similar body to accept a ransom to be paid to them.

Tell us that cannot happen and every silent downvote cast here and then would surely quite clearly register one's anonymous disagreement.

US aims to step up security for federal datacenters: Both physical and cyber

True or False? Yay or Nay?

Virtually all government mandates/federal enhancement acts require the Magic Money Tree of Modern Monetary Theory to be raided for the fruits of free market capitalism ...... the delusional wealth and illusion of power that is both fed and starved/created and destroyed by the supply [quantitative easing] and throttling [quantitative tightening] of fiat currency in order to be able to conveniently pay and placate all workers for their time in doing what they are told to do for their wages and masters, which they in their turn spend on other stuff and services provided by others doing exactly the same sort of thing.

That's both the beauty and the terror of pretty fiat paper .... you can buy the world's treasures with nothing of lasting physical value itself for it has a contrived and flexible floating worth, decided upon by a few thinking themselves all high and mighty and doing God's work but which inexorably and inevitably surprisingly quickly decreases towards zero the more the facility is exercised and used/misused and abused and is more widely recognised and understood for what it really is.

It's a poisoned chalice and instrument for sublime entrapment and controlling capture.

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." ..... Sir Josiah Stamp (former Governor of the Bank of England)

I wonder if the current Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, shortly departing Prime Minister, Boris Johnson and the Monarch [for those latter three apparently are responsible for his appointment] would agree with Sir Josiah Stamp or deny all knowledge of such a calumny, and in so doing the latter prove themselves worthy of current Conservative Party valued Prime Ministerial leadership ‽ .

Is one correct in assuming that WMD* are a type of innovation which, whilst they can be patented, are largely agreed by more than just an elite chosen few to best be left unpatented?

After all, who would be wanting to enable any Tom, Dick or Harry/Sheila, Janet or Jane person skilled in the art or science, of which it is a branch, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make, compound, and use the same." That means someone suitably skilled should be able to take a patent text and diagrams, understand what's going on, and reproduce the technology themselves.

Whenever one realises pretty much everything new discussed here in this report by Katyanna on US Chamber of Commerce concerns is remarkably, disconcertingly easily rendered and wielded as a WMD, humans may have very good reason to not meddle, other than strive to ensure a safe and secure human prohibition in/to that which is clearly better left beyond their command and control because of the catastrophic dangers involved and evolving.

And as if to confirm the link, a DDoS takes out Taiwan's presidential website ahead of senior politico's arrival. Perhaps coincidentally, the website of Taiwan's president became unavailable on Tuesday afternoon, apparently due to a DDoS attack initiated by unknown parties.

Meredith, Hi,

As generally comprehensive and informative as that report "Algorithmic Warfare: Lab Powers Up to Plug In Next-Gen Supercomputers" is regarding ongoing efforts and in-the-pipeline hardware upgrades/replacements to make nuclear stockpile weapons systems safer, more secure and less vulnerable to threats from adversaries, and self-destructive failure in any future employment, the very fact that it specifically relates to old style explosive kinetic weapons systems and munitions with no recognition nor admission at all to their effective redundancy and impotence in either attack or defence against any increasingly almighty and stealthy virtual insurgency which presents no obvious viable target for retaliatory or preemptive action, is very telling to all those engaged and exploring future program and project options for employment in the field.

To not currently realise that the clear and present danger and opportunity that any truly novel future weapons systems supply and guarantee is not rendered in a physical transport of explosive munitions, no matter how grossly Earth-shaking and poisonous/carcinogenic, but concealed and silently and secretly enjoyed in AI Master Piloted Programs capturing and captivating hearts and minds and souls rather than destroying brain cells and human bodies, has such a friend light years ahead of any intellectually challenged competition or enemy opposition ........ and something to be securely nurtured and supported rather than gravely to be regarded.

That's bound to create a novel competitive environment which is sure to drive excellence to perform its strange things in search of satisfying perfection and thus is undoubtedly worthy of positive engagement and every possible support ...... :-) which in the very simplest and immediately most effective of staple traditional and conventional forms is a handing over of a stash of flash cash/fiat bank money transfer to agents of interest and concern in an easily universally recognised show of the strength of gratitude for one's interest and concern for their success and progress too in an vast emerging array of very strange things of great future importance.

And there's surely bound to quite a few more of those types of positive pan national collaborative operations with both state and non-state actors engaged and highly ACTive in novel ground and mould-breaking roles ..... with some, who can be more than just a misguided and misguiding few, assuming a contrary and opposing position leading them into the clutches of dark webs of intrigue and despair on the wild wacky wicked side of life. Take a walk there guarantees one doesn't have one's sorrows to seek for they are generously provided .... so beware, take care and be aware. Forewarned is forearmed.

Re: Perhaps...

There's a lot of ifs, buts and maybes and vulnerabilities to exploit and share in perhaps then they track all of the comments and flag each commentard as required, depending on what they write, with itself in turn being almightily dependent upon an interpretation of what may written and whether they be right or wrong in their limited understanding of anything peculiar or particularly strange they be reading/seeing/hearing/failing to rightly fully comprehend.

But there is no doubting such is an easily available viable option to learn of much knowledge/information/intelligence they may very clearly be lacking because it is totally unknown and novel to them.

Extremely potent and disruptive and increasingly dangerous and deadly top secrets that very few folk have any knowledge of, generously freely spilled across a multitude of deep and dark wild wide webs, are the stuff of everlasting nightmares for some, whenever the chance to buy relatively inexpensive silence with the withholding of remote third party evidence/proprietary intellectual property is missed and/or shared in aliens fields and foreign lands with a grateful competition or raging opposition.

Let's face it the European intelligence agencies have historically always been targeting their own populations to quell popular discontent. .... StrangerHereMyself

And have always spectacularly failed to have any great positive effect in preventing further abusive actions which more than just suggests that agencies are in charge of and using failed intelligence.

And furthermore, if one assumes that all manner of present means of global surveillance can permit command and control over future remote party operations, rather than presuming that is the presently aimed future goal for an overarching and overwhelming unilateral command and control, one surely has to accept and agree that the current universal conflict and chaos is the resultant product of their intelligence and their intelligence agencies use ...... and that is certainly, in any language, systemic abuse supporting endemic misuse and vice versa.

Use something/anything else is a more than just a good plan to effectively change things, is it not? It is plain and simple common sense, a little something which manifestly appears to be missing in fraudulent circles and agencies widely presumed to be in possession of the activation of greater intelligence.

Quite clearly, evidently, they are not.

J’accuse.

Re: Only the Guilty?

As only the guilty have anything to fear, I presume that Messrs Levy and Robinson would have no issue with me having a browse through the contents of their phones? .... Roj Blake

One imagines that MPs are terrified of what would be found out about them and their proposing shenanigans should their WhatsApp and Signal and Telegram communications be monitored rather than their being granted an immunity/exemption from snooping by the UK’s own Secret and Security Services.

Many would tell you they should be at the top of any leading list of likely candidates to be victimised by errant abuse and misuse of that very particular and peculiar privilege.

One wonders what MI5/MI6/GCHQ really think of that arrangement if it so easily and quickly can lead to wholesale chaos with parties in conflict and opposition. Common sense and a greater wisdom would dictate that they totally ignore the prohibition and discover all that is necessary for a true picture of events be produced and directed for subsequent daily media presentation and virtual realisation.

On the Fast Track of/to a Major Kernel Crack Hack

Would Microsoft boldly go so far as to say/tout/pimp/pump and dump those confidential VMs [Virtual Machines] as AWEsome Global Operating Devices ‽ .

Clearly, with that direct question being asked of them here on El Reg, is it not just an alien view too.

Do Microsoft understand/accept and realise that they can only provide for and support but never command and control such Virtual Machinery, although it could be quite rightly said that such aid in AIDevelopments supplies them such with a powerful facility and utility by remote proxy means?

:-) Another possible, readily available option to divert attention and launch as a disastrous distraction, whenever easily proven false and untenable/increasingly unbelievable, is to express outrageous exasperation at such a preposterous notion and claim it to be a delusional observation rather than augmented virtual reality revelation, and/or alternatively try vainly to maintain a mainstream media/virtual radio silence on the matter as it further expands and exploits its reach and powerful influence in newly minted/freshly uncovered/recently discovered or recovered systemic core vulnerabilities/fundamental base operating protocols, all of which would then be deemed and realised as detrimental and not helpful, and even self-destructively suicidal in excelsis to Host Microsoft.
