About 7 years ago it was the most affordable USB controller that identify them self as a HID device that I could find to brute force the EFI lock on a MacBook Pro https://orvtech.com/atacar-efi-pin-macbook-pro-en.html
It was really easy to setup and start pushing code to it
Agree is not a "Solution" but it does not has the impact that most people are imagining.
I am just curious, what would be the right way for companies to tackle this, how would they know who is the family of a regime official for example? Most people's comments seem to be aimed at Adobe instead of the complexity that is dealing with this executive order.
They probably ran the numbers and it was cheaper to loose the dozen of legit clients they have there than to put some engineer hours to figure which one of them are government entities.
I wonder if Microsoft will pull something like this... or even cisco
It is not the same traffic pattern, Uber sees a regular stream of request keeping their caches warm, Yes they might see 2X or 3X spikes every now and them but in proportion these are smaller than the spikes that the IRS will see today.
I think so. The correct procedure would have been to assign another iCloud account and assign your self another PIN (lock it with your own PIN)... Then reformat it
The message on the first lock screen (iCloud padlock) read "Devuelve me la laptop y te devuelvo el dinero" which means "Give me back the laptop and I will return your money".
I did a low level reformat `dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sdd` with the hard drive mounted on another machine before noticing that he seller had locked theachine EFI remotely.
Well saw a spike in traffic to my site and traced the source to HN... Let's hope the migration from WordPress to Pelican pays out.
As mentioned by some of you this is from early 2013 but the code still works. Furthermore it has been tweaked (the timeouts and keypress duration) to be compatible with most Macs yet as efficient as possible.
