Official Statement on Website “Suspension”

I tried to log on to the ReallyRight.com site Wednesday morning this past week and to my dismay I was greeted with a screen reading “account suspended.” I was absolutely befuddled.

Did Elon Musk file a cease and desist on the BlogFather? Did useless skid mark on societies underpants Jarrold Nadler order this? Did the Russians finally hack a website to influence an election? Did Britney from the salsa bar do this as a jilted former flame? Did Twitter suspend this website like they suspended Chief’s Twitter account? Did the “FBI surveillance van” finally get the BlogFather? Did PG&E blow up the website like they blow up houses in San Bruno? The BlogFather took my phone call and at first, we thought maybe Aaron Park did this…but we concluded Aaron couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag if you gave him directions, so scratch him off the list. BlogFather being the guy that he is, straightened this all out…and it was a dumb error on the providers part, however, we are back, and the suspension had nothing to do with us.


However, since I am a Troll, I figure Nadler had something to do with it…based on pure jealousy of this internet Troll. He is mad at me because ope Hicks is into me and not him. I get it, he feels he is big and powerful and I’m just a Troll. First of all, Nadler, Hicks doesn’t even want to look at your greasy, pants to your pecs, Jersey trash self. Especially if you get a look at me…I look like I was carved out of marble…I’m so good I oughta be illegal…I also double as talent on loan from God. So as long as God doesn’t call his loan anytime soon, she is mine Nadler! Hmmm… Just to make you even more mad Nadler, not only is Trump 100% innocent and going to get re-elected, but I have also requested to see my girlfriend Hope “stretching” like in this photo. Also be advised, as someone from Tennessee, she has told me “I’m the only 10 she sees.”

Additional housekeeping: Turns out the FBI surveillance van is just someone’s fancy name for a home Wi-Fi network…lame! I figured he was going to jail, and I would be the new owner of this blog…Sad! In regards to Chief, I made contact with him and his Twitter was suspended initially for tweeting at real OJ Simpson things like “how’s the search for the real killer going” and “If you did kill Nicole Brown would you have done it the same way?” He also added he has been suspended again for trying to start a gofundme.com to buy OJ a mirror so he can identify the real killer and sending him a tweet and asking him to retweet it. I guess that is frowned upon in this establishment! I’m sorry OJ, you will be dealing with my constant trolling, I’m sure its way worse than what you did to Nicole Brown

Here are additional photos of the beautiful future Mrs. Troll, Hope Hicks…

Editor’s note: Troll failed to provide referenced photos of Hope Hicks in time for the publishing deadline so I had to improvise with my own selection. When searching the Internet for Hope Hicks, I found that many beautiful women wish they were mistaken for her.

Apple Bad News Round-up for August 9, 2019

Four stories baking Apple recently. If you needed proof that they are keeping programmers busy writing code for patches then read on…

FaceID fake-out using two dollars at the dollar store

“Some of our most sophisticated technologies — the TrueDepth camera system, the Secure Enclave and the Neural Engine — make FaceID the most secure facial authentication ever in a smartphone.” These are the words Apple use to describe their FaceID biometric authentication system.


Face ID can recognize even when the device owner put on glasses. It even works with many types of sunglasses. Also, FaceID has a feature called “liveness” detection which will prevent anyone from unlocking a device when the owner of the device is unconscious. Researchers took advantage of these two features to bypass FaceID. When a user is wearing glasses, FaceID won’t extract 3D information from the eye area.


During Black Hat USA 2019, researchers demonstrated a way to bypass FaceID and log into a locked phone by simply using a pair of modified glasses on device owner’s face.

Get Spam text and you’re hacked

Silanovich worked with Project Zero member Samuel Groß to investigate whether other forms of messaging including SMS, MMS and visual voicemail were compromised. After reverse engineering and looking for flaws, she discovered multiple exploitable bugs in iMessage.


The reason is thought to be that iMessage offers such a range of communication options and features, which make mistakes and weaknesses more likely- e.g. Animojis, rendering files like photos and videos and integration with other apps, including Apple Pay, iTunes, Airbnb etc.


An interactionless bug that stood out was one that allowed hackers to extract data from a user’s messages. The bug would allow the attacker to send specifically crafted texts to the target, in exchange for the content of their SMS messages or images, for example.


While iOS usually has protections in place that would block the attack, this bug takes advantage of the system’s underlying logic, so iOS’s defences interpret it as legitimate.


Since these bugs don’t require any action from the victim, they are favoured by vendors and nation-state hackers.

Siri, Alexa, & Cortana are always listening and so are 3rd parties

An Apple contractor confirmed that there have been countless instances of recordings featuring private discussions between doctors and patients, business deals, seemingly criminal dealings, sexual encounters and so on. More serious issue is that these private recordings are accompanied by user data including location, contact details, and app data.

Apple contractors can no longer listen to your private conversations via Siri

Apple stock is doing just fine but the optics of the above stories certainly doesn’t look good.
