   it has been zero days since I bought a computer for 10$ and it turns out to had PII on it.

   Apparently this one was used as an Advance Auto Parts kiosk and it has a bunch of downloaded payslips for all the employees.

     apparently the kiosks/POS dervices used a java-based system that involved connecting to a remote server and doing CRC32 (!) file hash matches to prevent hacking and/or apply hotpatch updates

     @foone I'll never forget going to a oil change place circa 2012 and realizing that they were still running OS/2. They might still be.

     @foone Wait, CRC32, not even something as new (and yet still broken) as MD5? ...how long has this system been in place, I wonder?
