I've been reading about the SolarWinds compromise.
The CEO may have unloaded their stock because they knew it was going to become public.
Another more nefarious possibility: the "hack" was an inside job, and they knew about it or even abetted it in exchange for something in return.
I have not found one, other than a very small subset.
This is a ripe target for automation.
I'm sure they are, but who knows how long they are retained and whether it's possible to get the USPS to give them up.
The whole file is available. The cited tweet/PDF only translates ~8K of the entries.
There are a couple of file formats for the full data.
CSV is just a text file. You can use Excel if you want, or process it with your own tools.
The SQlite database can be opened with a large number of tools, including a database browser. There's an open source one that is already built for many platforms:
Or, you can process it yourself with a sqlite3 API. I use Python, albeit not for this.
There is a Google Translate API that could be used to convert the fields.
It would require a subscription, and several months to complete: there are 2 million rows and 6-7 fields per row that require translation. The "Mega" Google Translate subscription provides 1.5 million queries per month.
But, multiple people could divide up the file into about 10 sections and complete it in a day.
Per a follow-up tweet by the same person:
This is only 8k translated of the 2million
Somehow, that's not surprising.
(Spez: the URL above looks dodgy, but that's how Unicode characters are encoded. It's the string the OC posted)
It's already been loaded into an sqlite database, and you can use a browser app (there are several) to look at it. But, it's all in Chinese. it will require someone to translate it.
Unless it lists people outside China, it's only relevant to Chinese. But somehow, I suspect CCP wouldn't be dumb enough to keep records identifying their spies in Western countries, co-mingled with run-of-the-mill party members.
Spoiler alert, it's in Chinese.
If anyone is interested, here's where you can sign up for the email digest:
https://informeddelivery.usps.com/
We have had it for a while. I will note a few things, which may be isolated to my post office:
- Only mail that is sorted by their automated scanners is included (it captures the images)
- It's mostly first-class mail.
- Some "junk" mail is reported.
- USPS sells access to advertisers. Sometimes, when I get an unsolicited ad in the mail, scanning it apparently triggers insertion of an image in the email digest that can be clicked to link to a website.
- We used to get package notifications, but not any longer.
- I have found out about lost or stolen mail via the service (a debit card, which was quickly cancelled)
- There's an mechanism to report missing mail. But, it has never worked for me: it won't let you report missing mail for a week, but after a week it said it was too late to report it. Maybe they have fixed it.
I was wondering the same thing, and was composing this reply to someone else above when you replied to me:
I was also thinking someone submitted a fraudulent change of address. Once an address change takes effect, the USPS will send a postcard back to the sender of first-class mail or packages to notify them of the address change (so they don't have to keep forwarding mail).
You can do it online, with a credit or debit card. USPS says they charge $1.05 to the card so they can confirm your mailing address is the billing address on your credit card. But, I think the address matching done by the bank is limited to the house number and ZIP code. For example, in the address: 1234 Main St, Anytown, ST 54321, only 1234 and 54321 are checked.
You can also submit a form at the post office. You have to get the form from the post office (it's in the "mover's kit"), but it appears you can just drop it in the mail after filing it out.
However, here's the catch: the Post Office sends a confirmation letter to both the old address and the new address. Unless the OP somehow didn't get that, or didn't realize the significance, that's not an option.
Yeah, there's something missing here. Gamestop shouldn't be sending it to another address. The first thing I would do is find out why they did so.
My other question: Did the name and date of birth match? Is there any possibility of an overlap?
I would start with a reverse address search on the address in question. Depending on the site you use, that will give you information about the current and past residents. Search for "reverse address lookup" and you'll find lots of choices.
Video that explains how it was done:
I've seen the data declarations, and it's just lazy programming (and design).
The voting system provides support for distributing a single vote among multiple candidates, because there are elections held that way in the US:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_voting
But, for a normal election, the field should be declared as an integer (or long, depending on the architecture of the underlying hardware). All operations should be simple addition.
If you declare a value as floating point, you can't guarantee it will remain a value that can be represented by an integer.
The problem: floating point arithmetic in base 2 results in small errors creeping into the result, especially over millions of calculations. And once a fractional error creeps into the result, it may not be able to be represented exactly in base 2, resulting in more errors.
Fucking Bunch of Incompetents.
"PARADICE" actually helped them identify the word where it was spelled backwards, because the perpetrator misspelled it in prior unencrypted messages.
An asshole.
Microsoft calls me about once a week and tells me my computer has a virus.
DC? Seriously?
Did you not see the warning at the bottom of the image?
Any photographing, recording or rebroadcasting of federal court proceedings is prohibited.
Historically, only about 3-4% of Texans vote absentee, because the law limits it to a handful of cases. "Over 65" is the largest group. For everyone else, being "out of the county" is only acceptable if you are out of the county for the entire early voting period (normally 2 weeks, but 3 weeks this year).
Democrats tried to expand eligibility this year, but failed. I'm unable to reference the percentage of absentee vote-by-mail info for 2020, as the data I downloaded just before the election is no longer available and hasn't been moved to the historical archive. But, I found that the percentage of mail-in voters increased to about 10% this year.
I should point out that is 10% of early voters. Normally, that would mean about 5% of all voters voted by mail, because about half of Texans vote on Election day. But, 2020 was an outlier in that respect: only 13% voted on Election Day this year.
That might be true. Reportedly, only one component of their software was compromised.
