I suppose jacking off a car is also dangerous.

Damnit. I'm thinking about it now. Make it stop.

I found that gem as well.

Ditto. I was in an unlucky block of dynamic IPs from my ISP once. Not only was sending or receiving email out of the question, my IP addresses were somehow part of firewall blacklists as well. I couldn't get to banks at all and tons of random places were just dropping my traffic. It was a serious pain.

Microwave some fish in the break room and leave the door to the room open.

I dug a little deeper as well and I agree. The author of the link that was posted here just summarizes "papers" released by various security companies. It's not quality content, but it's a living for him I suppose. Meh.

The numbers are listed poorly and not put in the correct context, me thinks.

6.5 million documents is nothing compared to the user base of 3 billion, so that is something to keep in mind. Each number given is not clearly compared against the total user base, the total number of public documents or any other condition they listed.

Hell, I can't even tell if my guess is even accurate. It's really bad writing and I am not going to download the original report to find out more.

And you get some beans!

I know, right?

"JWT Token" translates to "JSON Web Token Token". It's redundant or it implies that you have tokenized your token.

Markups are super annoying, but identify them quickly and call out the dealer ASAP when looking at new cars. Literally call them out, to their face, and say "No". Don't let them use pointless markups in price negotiations! What I do is find the average price of the car across multiple dealers, subtract all stupid markups, delete the cost of dealer added "upgrades" subtract a few thousand and work from there. There is not much wiggle room for brand new cars, so don't expect to get a deal of the century. Used cars are a totally different beast, but you can basically ignore markups as well.

Provided that your local dealers aren't affiliated in some way, play the long game and play them against each other in a mini-price war. Stupid markups will generally evaporate naturally in that case.

(LPT: Do not sign anything but the actual loan paperwork or contract to buy the car. This will piss off a sales person to no end, but they will get over it. I can go into details why, but I am already outside the scope of this thread.)
