Hacking group Strontium dogs NATO and government targets There's a new hacking team out there that's proving surprisingly good at getting into government systems using social engineering tactics coupled with zero-day attacks in assaults that can last as long as a year. Dubbed Strontium by researchers at the Microsoft Malware Protection Center, the hackers have been active since 2007 …
The group spends a lot of time researching their targets on social media and email lists, trying to find people with access to a system they want to penetrate.
No matter how hard you try to make your systems secure, there is always a fundamental weakness - idiots with access who reveal that fact to the world.
Whatever happened to discretion?
Sorry, but IMHO it was a much better world then. No privileged entitled millennials whining and crying how they need a "safe space" dedicated to a specific minority and for what ever purpose at every University in the country. We used to call that a dorm room back in my days and those who really did not want to conform left campus and found more suitable lodgings off campus or with a frat or sorority house.
Tell me, just exactly how "disadvantaged" can someone really be if they go to Princeton, Yale, Ithaca Harvard or any other Ivy League college? Probably with a full room and board scholarship! Whoa, what a tough life they have! When they come out of that environment, they CREATE the "social" media, yellow journalists and general purpose whiners we see all the time. Growthefuckup please!
Back in the 1960's I can understand, but by the end of the 1970's blacks were given astounding advantages over any white student and colleges started falling all over each other to provide more and more scholarship programs for minorities. Today, college is like kindergarten for immature 20 year olds and they should all get a good cuffing for the PC bull they try to foist off on the world.
Well thinking about the timeline for Judge Dredd, his story is set in the immediate aftermath of the nuclear war that created the Cursed Earth. By now his stories are set approximately 50 years after the war. Fallout 4 is set 210 years after the war so using 2000AD's timeline that would put the storyline much closer to the Strontium Dog era being set approximately 110 years after the first nuclear war. Realistically we probably don't want to go much closer to Fallout 4's 210 years as that puts us into the Rogue Trooper era (Nu Earth mod anyone?)
I wouldn't expect anything less on this site :)
I've recently been re-reading the entire back catalogue, got as far as prog 1600 (ish). Still reads as good now as it did the first time around. Playing Fallout 4 so running behind on my reading schedule but had a thought last night, Fallout 4 really needs a Dredd mod :)

True, John
Males should NEVER let any Female determine the worth of comics, graphic novels or any other stuff they have no interest in.
My father collected comics until he went to WWII. His mother decided to clean his room out while he was gone so his first edition Superman went to the paper drive along with hundreds of others he had collected over the years. Let's not even get into the values of the bubble gum baseball cards from the 1920's and 30's that went into that same bin.
