OnPoint: MSD's Leaky Servers, in reply to Hebe,
Their systems are independent, although they do share data on certain matters. I sued to work for IRD IT and the security was pretty tight then (90's). I don't imaging that's changed. From memory, even the data exchange was done on tape, when required - it wasn't on demand, though that may have changed.

As Paul O'Reilly mentioned on Facebook, this is the agency that Paula Bennett wants to manage an inter-agency database of at risk kids. I don't think so...

OnPoint: MSD's Leaky Servers, in reply to mark taslov,
Really?

Fucking. Hell.
I cannot believe this. This is sysadmin 101. What the fuck were they thinking?
My experience with VMs is limited but I think the data you show is significant, especially the clear text password. Without command line or explorer access, I think you'd have had difficulty launching them but you could possibly have copied them to a large enough USB key for off-site study. But FFS their firewall is a virtual server on the corporate network??? Surely not!
Mind blown.
Well done you.

Hard News: The Advocate, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
It always troubles me when folk accept Peoplemeter data as gospel
Yup. There are 600 homes with 900 peoplemeters and that is it. Fricking voodoo programming and it's time they came clean.

Speaker: Key: Concession Not Recession, in reply to andin,
Oh, please. Suggesting that Tom has lost the plot does a disservice.
To the plot. -
But that still leaves the GCSB operating for over a year without taking cognizance of a law change that affected their operating authority. That's incredibly poor management within the Bureau, and crap supervision from above. At Matthew Poole has been saying, here and there, this is the real issue for NZ's concern, not KDC.

Legal Beagle: Kim Dotcom: We need an Inquiry!, in reply to Graeme Edgeler,
I think Fisking is the act of disection for analysis, which is usually done to disprove claims, I agree. Your post is like a "read more" link on the original article.
