Last place I worked at (10M investment) the men's pisser didn't flush and the toilet paper was brown sandpaper that smelt like shit even before you used it. Horrible TL lights though, so not quite a horror scene.
Hard no. Had to pay I think 100$ for premium support to find that out.
I uploaded a small xls with uid and prodid columns and then kind of forgot about it.
A few months later I get a note from bank saying your account is overdrawn. The account is only used for freelancing work which I wasn't doing at the time, so I never checked that account.
Looks like AWS was charging me over 1K / month while the algo continuously worked on that bit of data that was uploaded one time. They charged until there was no money left.
That was about 5K in weekend earnings gone. Several months worth of salary in my main job. That was a lot of money for me.
Few times I've felt so horrible.
If you don't want your data online then don't put it there.
Perhaps the DGSE also got to plug a cable in to the Telegram infrastructure, which would be huge plus for them and the west in general not in the least because of the war. You could say France has pwnd Durov.
If I'm not mistaken some significant arrest was made shortly after they captured Durov, in the case of this child exploitation stuff.

When working on an e-commerce gig we would get "delete my data" requests from customers, which we're legally obliged to comply with. A script would delete everything we could from the DB immediately. Since we had 30 day backups, their data would only be deleted from the backups on day 31. I think this was acceptable to the GDPR consultant.
Going in to the backups to delete their data there in insane.
EDIT and were the keys cracked, or were the passphrases obtained ? It's mentioned elsewhere that he had them written down. Which would be a much easier "hack"
They are used on highways to monitor average speed and in cities to check that no "illegal" cars enter the city. Illegal being ones that don't comply with euronorms anymore.
Check out OpenALPR. Tested it out on some traffic footage in my region, pretty much nailed them all including the make and model of the car.
Who do you want your kids to communicate with over the internet ?
Except these people have families that care about them, you could even say kids need a parent in their life.
The day Honnold falls to his death the world will applaud all his achievements but his kid probably wish his dad never climbed at all.
The day I became a father is the day I stopped riding a motorbike.
Turns out it was founded by an American, who was arrested on suspicion of bias-motivated crimes, second-degree assault and harassment after attacking a reporter in the USA but currently living in Hungary and running some media org there, with ties to the right wing Fidesz party. And he is on paper as being the founded of brusselssignal.eu
His organization received a big loan from an undisclosed source to set up the Brussels organisation and it seems to made up of or advised by a rag tag of European right wing politicians.
The whole thing stinks of Russian meddling in Europe.

How do you make that taste good though
No patience for these complaints. Either you want tourist money or you don't. Seems like half the city lives off it and the other half hates it. That's an internal problem.
Same in Barcelona.
The fact that "fake people" can be employed for high level IT companies in the US is just unfathomable to me.
Did he get worse or did the others get better ?
Then you could just complete a normal transaction on their website and introduce your account in to their system that way, no real need for a compromised terminal?
