That is distressing.

Judging from recent forum posts, Citrix still installs a hidden server running with privileged access as part of their client software. It’s almost impossible for normal users to remove it.
Wasn’t this the same behavior that got Zoom blocked briefly on macOS a few years ago? https://www.macobserver.com/news/apple-update-remove-zoom/
Would router-blocking the IP addresses provide some protection?
I haven’t let Citrix maleare onto any device I own in decades, since finding that it wasn’t possible to remove their server from a Mac by normal means (it required using terminal to shut down and remove each process individually). I honestly wasn’t aware that anyone outside a particular obscure state agency in Kentucky still uses them.
I’d feel worse if they didn’t so richly deserve it.
For once, I hope Verizon wins
If only he had found religion instead of founding a for-profit, he’d be riding high and no one would care.
Conservative Christians want a theocracy but suck at governing. Didn’t we already know this?
Spectrum have the monopoly on internet service in my town. I won’t be engaging with them for anything else.
Love the handle, BTW. :)
I think downloading is against Google’s TOS. Whether that makes it illegal is a question for a lawyer.
I’ve never used a VPN with it either. But it should work, especially with an exit node in a country where Google has no incentive to/is prohibited from interfering with third party viewers.
Arguably, it’s more like someone is able to hide the door altogether and force you to climb through the less-well-secured window. The fact that they can hide the door at all makes its locks meaningless.
I get that this is an inherent problem of security mechanisms in general and not of passkeys in particular. But it still reduces passkeys to just fancy passwords. They’re obviously not any more reliable in practice.
I haven’t either because I don’t see the advantage. Cases like this show that there may not be any.
If The Next Big Thing can be sidelined by simply blocking its login option, that’s a problem. Not only is it not secure, it’s not even reliably usable.
Wait, haven’t some sources been touting how ultra-secure and unbreakable passkeys are? And now we find that they’re susceptible to comparatively simple MITM attacks?
That isn’t even remotely what it says.
Short of buying the IP catalog, Microsoft seems to be doing right here.
I’m not suggesting that you should. But if the government that controls a TLD is not trusted, then no site under that TLD should be trusted either.
Bless you. I do have them blocked. I don’t need the aggravation in my life.
Man, try teaching a freshman comp course in college.
