Yep! Likely broke off the relationship because she is some combination of dangerous/crazy - partners know a lot of the crazy stuff you've done and not been caught for.
If people are to be judged by the assertions of their jilted former lovers then we are all in for a very bad time. Any time there is a headline with a very serious and inflammatory claim, like the one above, you would do well to scroll down past the hyperbole and look for the evidence offered (if any) for such a serious charge. The only evidence cited by this article in this accusation of a series of treasonous felon…
You mean except for the fact that her participation in the invasion of our capital, attempted overthrow of our government, and theft of intelligence was live streamed for literally the entire nation to see.
The only assertion we are relying on from the ex for is the fact that after committing multiple felonies on camera she was planning to commit one more.
Furthermore although she is entitled to assumption of innocence in a court of law we are required to provide nothing of the sort.
If he was merely trying to get back at her why not just turn her in for all the crimes we saw on camera. The simplest explanation is that he is telling the truth.

#33There's a good chance she may have committed some light treason.
Legally speaking: Breaking and entering a federal government building, stealing information, conspiring with a foreign national to sell the information to a foreign state intelligence service.
I think life sentences have been handed out for smaller forms of treason...

#34Video of her leaving the Capital building while everyone was still going in: https://twitter.com/dudgedudy/status/1351178713111662593
It’d be very easy for a foreign agent to sneak in with the crowd. In one of the latter videos on that thread, it looked like she was directing/encouraging people to push forward.
Twitter tells me: "This is not available to you."
Anyone know why? Was it deleted? Suspended? Region locked (I'm in Canada).

#35One of the reasons why a blanket full disk encryption policy and encrypted data-at-rest policy is needed in large organizations. Laptops go missing and get stolen all the time.
Or even small organizations, or individuals. Our phones storage is uniformly encrypted by default now and have been for several years. There's absolutely no reason that Windows installs and Linux distros should offer unencrypted storage as anything but a hidden option for experts. That said: there's no particular reason to think this laptop wasn't encrypted.
> There's absolutely no reason that Windows installs and Linux distros should offer unencrypted storage as anything but a hidden option for experts.
People unfortunately have been coddled by consumerism, or are coddled by job titles like "director" and "officer", and expect to be able to get passwords reset and access recovered by someone if they forget.
The correct way to do disk encryption is to not store the password anywhere, and define total loss of data as acceptable if the password is unknown. This puts vendors and subordinate-to-revenue-generation IT departments in a bad situation if a customer forgets their password and suddenly loses years' worth of family photos, small-business tax documents, etc.

Only because phone storage is basically unimportant - most people sync everything (either of their own volition or via OS provider or via apps) from their phone to multiple cloud services and then the benefits of encryption-at-rest are honestly only their to protect and enforce the local app store and payment apps.

If your company is large enough to have an IT Department, even if it's just one person with a sufficient amount of clue, they should know how to set up FDE with a recovery key manually stored in a secure location (even printed on a piece of paper locked in a safe of the CEO, or something).

You can still have your password reset with an encrypted disk, if you're using some networked active directory thing to manage access, no?

#38The fed were tipped off by an ex. The most telling part of the terrorist attack on the capital is how many family members, coworkers, and acquaintances couldn’t wait to turn them in. There was a story this morning about a wife turning in her husband for threatening to shoot their children if the children “snitched.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/capitol-rioter-guy-reffitt-thr...
The Venn diagram of terrorists and domestic abusers is a circle, or near enough as makes no difference.

I don't really know how the "enterprise" solutions work, but I imagine they get the disk decryption key from AD or something, and thus the IT support team can "reset" disk encryption.
There are a variety of threat models, and whether or not this is acceptable depends on the worry that you have. If you are concerned that the IT department is going to decrypt executives' laptops and leak confidential information, then this isn't a good model. But if you're merely concerned that someone leaves their laptop in an airport, it's fine -- whoever picks that laptop up and resells it won't hack your directory system and be able to decrypt it.
A long memorized passphrase that only one person knows is the best possible way to prevent unauthorized access, but that isn't necessarily the problem that you're trying to solve with disk encryption.

With my ad and tracking blocking, I get that all the time.
