During the 1st live iPhone demo, Steve
Jobs was secretly switching phones
because they couldn’t even play a song
without crashing. Their displays were
rigged to show 5 bars of signal strength
and he had to use a portable cell tower
just so they would seem reliable enough
to make calls. One little mistake could’ve
ruined the entire presentation, but Jobs
got through it flawlessly, and the iPhone
was a hit before it ever actually worked.
Alleged hackers of the credit reporting agency Equifax are demanding a $2.3 million ransom in bitcoins.
The alleged Equifax hackers issued the following statement and ransom demand:We are two people trying to solve our lives and those of our families.
Hackers Demand 600 BTC RansomAccording to Mashable, a deep web site has emerged that is selling the sensitive information of Equifax for 600 BTC or approximately $2.5 million at the time of this writing.
The hackers are demanding a hefty ransom until September 15, or else they will publicly release all sensitive information that they currently possess.
According to regulatory filings, executives of Equifax sold shares worth $1.8 million three days before the breach was publicly known.
