Tinkering a bit with FreePBX at home and I saw there is an option for using SMS service with it. Documentation suggests that this only works with SIPStation and I was not especially looking to sign up with them.
Does anyone know if that function is really locked down to the one SIP provider? I saw that VoIP.ms has some support for SMS but wasn't able to find anything about whether that would work within FreePBX or not. All signs kind of point to this being a no go at the moment.

@penguinwrangler said in US Department of Justice Seeking IP Addresses of All 1.3m Visitors to DisruptJ20 Website:
They want it to prove "Malice Aforethought" on the people that they arrested. That they planned, conspired, to do what they did.
They don't need the records of 1.3 million users to have the information about the few people that were arrested and charged. The request is ludicrous.

This is always a fun topic around here. There are a few previous discussions you can take a look at under the IT Education tag that might be worth your time to review.
I will, and I should've done my research before posting (duh). Thank you.
No worries, I was just pointing out a resource you may not have realized existed since you're new. Creating another discussion on the topic is certainly not a problem. It's sort of a moving target so can bear continued discussion. Also since you are coming from a different point of view on the topic from the majority of contributors here we may get some new conclusions going.

Given the way this process works I'm thinking all the people jumping on the "Why ever would you hit the accept button, these people are so stupid." bandwagon are likely on the wrong track. Since you see the picture regardless of choice due to the preview I can only imagine that victims are hitting accept to preserve some evidence of what is happening.
They probably should be more careful about their settings but it doesn't make the perpetrators any less garbage.
LOL - well your persistence paid off. It was a note, and notes don't have previews... So yeah.. stupid user, but yes - sender is still piece of shit.
The sender being a piece of shit or not is not relevant.
The stupid fucking user is at fault for accepting something from a stranger.
FFS. Even my 7yo knows "Dont' talk to strangers"
And don't advertise that you are interesting in talking to strangers. This is more than accepting an anonymous note. She had to enable getting anonymous notes first.
Very much so. But she did supposedly have it set to everyone for picture sharing in the office.
Potentially, there is a reason not to have everyone in the office know her phone number and vice versa to be able to use contacts only.
"Supposedly". But that was for doing exactly this, but in an office. Randomly pushing things of dubious nature peer to peer rather than through centralized means. I see this as the same as her saying "I was into this sort of thing already, and then I got to enjoy it on the train, too."
really? I don't see it like that at all - but then again, that's why I think they need to have a function that allows the system to auto disable everyone access after xyz timeframe.
She has a personal, random, anonymous sharing system turned on for the office? There is no office use case for this, this is purely people sharing random personal pics or files in a building. Clearly she is into AirDropping from people she doesn't know [well] already. She then carried this into her non-work life and then decided, when a picture came in, to accept it. There are layers of protections here. She clearly doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Of course she doesn't. She failed at every layer, doesn't mean my suggestion is any less valuable.
Why, she would have just disabled that. She clearly WANTED to see what the picture was. So giving her yet another way to not do that would have changed nothing.
LOL - You're right Scott - she wanted to see Dick picks, and then she wanted to go on TV and bitch about it
That's my point. She went dramatically out of her way to invite and enable this exact scenario. Then took that opportunity to get publicity. There is one and only one perpetrator here.
No she didn't. She went out of her way to enable it for the few less than friends people who were in her office to share photos with. Had she understood - though about it, remember, etc, she likely would have turned the feature off after the encounter that prompted her to turn it on in the first place.
I think we can safely say that this is not true. Her behaviour clearly shows that when confronted with a reminder that it was left on, she chose to use that and seize the opportunity to get in the limelight. If you were correct, she would not have done this.
Right, so you know the full sequence of events that led to that article being published?
We certainly know enough of the chain of events unless she was lying.
There are an awful lot of ways to go from this thing happened, to being in an article about it having happened. Not all of them include hounding the paper to write and publish it.

Maybe, maybe not and certainly the fact that it may not have helped her does not mean that it wouldn't help others.

Perhaps not, was basing on screenshots posted by @JaredBusch . Which I suppose is possibly showing a different process than was discussed in article.
There is no different process. If you send a picture, that is how it works.
I kind of didn't think so but I've not made much use of AirDrop so giving @aaronstuder the benefit of the doubt as he was questioning it.

I am seriously considering adding software white list(s) deployed via GPO to the mix.
Good luck with the pain.
Which pain? Implementation, upkeep? Is it not worth the trouble in your experience?
I've been asked to review our current endpoint security process for potential improvement and figured I would check here to see what general opinion is of what is happening here currently.
We use OpenDNS for traffic filtering and Vipre End Point Security for AV.
Windows updates are run regularly, systems are a mix of 7 and 10, this part is a bit more hands on than I would like.
Installed programs are kept up to date via Vipre. I know there are alternate solutions that may work as well or better such PDQ Deploy.
Potential changes are prompted in part by Vipre throwing a number of what appear to be false positives. We see a handful of these now and again and typically few to no actual infections, possibly this is a good sign? There is some concern that things are being missed.
We also use KnowBe4 as an educational tool to reduce problematic user behavior. This seems to have been pretty effective.
I am seriously considering adding software white list(s) deployed via GPO to the mix.
Any recommendations for additions, replacements, updates or removal from the tool box appreciated. Feel free to request more info if you feel I am missing detail. Thanks!

Pretty sure Hard Drive division was bought by Maxtor.
Didn't Maxtor disappear long ago?
Swallowed by Seagate in 2006 apparently. Possibly the branding is still about in the world for some purposes.

Phenylephrine is a sad substitute for psuedoephedrine. Pretty sure they used to use the good stuff in DayQuil but after the feds put restrictions on it they switched to maintain presence on shelves.
