And that is precisely why we have two networks.

Do you have two broadband connections as otherwise surely you have a router in common?

We actually have three lines and three connections. After we set up our two, DW's employers installed a line for her to use to connect to their moderately secure network, using their moderately secure laptop.

Hello Nice People

I am OK but life is busy. The whole J family is making gradual progress with ANT (amazing new therapist) and members of his team. We are now being seen all together for family therapy, as well as separately for our individual issues. It's tiring and time consuming, but ANT remains confident that in due course he can get both kids over their stuff, and that if they become OK, then I will too, once their issues stop putting pressure on my life.

Haven't got time to catch up on all of the NPT since I was last around, but DS showed me something funny yesterday, and I thought the NP might enjoy it. It's only 30s long, and SFW, but you do need the sound on for it to make sense.

Hope everyone's OK. Please could somebody bring me up to date on anything important that I've missed on the thread over the last few weeks? Thanks.

You can't help feeling sorry for Dido, watching her being interviewed and looking utterly wretched. I want to give her a big hug and tell her that it's okay and the nasty men will give her her data back.

The Talk Talk issue is a breach of security at their end. In fact there was some discussion of exhortation possibly being involved, but no confirmation yet.

This is actually a powerful non-technical tactic that does work. Once someone has a limited amount of information about you, they can try and use this to extract further useful information.

I attended some "social hacking" meetings some time back where there was an interesting discussion about using verbal tactics to gain information from help desks.

Some of this is very clever. It's not a spotty 15 year old English/Chinese/Russian kid sat in his bedroom; bored of Minecraft; and deciding to break the internet by typing a few commands into his browser!

There was a brilliant piece on Bloomberg recently where a journalist interviewed a (Ukrainian?) social hacker. He got given bank details etc and did identity theft. He even spoke about an episode where he was transferring money out of someone's bank account and the owner of the bank account was on the phone to the bank trying to stop him. Because he had all the answers in front of him, he was better at being the owner of the bank account than the owner of the bank account! (Or so he claimed).

I shouldn't be amused by this should I?

But I am

I firmly believe real life is more interesting than fiction. You can tell this from the NP thread. There's so many things I could say here but you worry they could come back to haunt..

I have had an enjoyable day, walking into the city. To get to the starting point I had to get a train whose destination was Nikksterville.

Together with a group of friends we walked 9 miles along the Thames into the centre. Passed places I've lived here across the thirty years I've lived here, noting the changes. Marvellous.
