Around SBN: How Will Spurs Respond to James Anderson's Trade Request?

Dana White Challenges Hackers, Hackers Release White's Personal Information

Photo by Michael Cohen/Getty Images

It's been an interesting night in Twitterland with Dana White being challenged about the UFC's support of SOPA and responding with the same old statements about people stealing from the business he helped grow. The situation went south quickly with "Josh The God" (the guy from UGNazi who carried out the attack on the UFC.com website) saying that they were now going after Dana himself rather than the website.

As Dana continued to talk about terrorist hackers and pirates (including a line of "I'm rite here"), there were continued suggestions that something big was about to happen. And then a tweet went out with a link sharing all of Dana White's personal information. That means his social security number, addresses dating back to 1997 and criminal record.

This is an ugly battle and the more you do to try to fight back against them, the more it entices the rest of their "community" to come at you. This was a major shot by this group and Dana can not be pleased.

Note: Any sharing of the link with his information will result in an immediate and permanent ban. This is being reported as a news story, not as an excuse to help people get Dana's personal information.

Dana's twitter conversation with Anonymous after the jump...

listen, he can still be a good business man

And be unaware of the Anonymous phenomenon.

But I have to say, I have serious doubts about his ability to see that the cost of protecting his content might be a loss of freedom in other areas for the rest of us. And this lack of understanding may come to cost him big time, because he isn’t going to win against anon.. All this is going to do is cost him a LOT of money. If he sets up the UFC as the next Playstation network he will regret it big time. I just think that the same strengths, or character traits that got him to where he is, in this situation, could lead to some very unfortunate events.

And finally, HOLY CRAP I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY DOXED DANA FREAKING WHITE!!! Man, they have doxed a lot of security people from top worldwide security firms but somehow this makes me much more surprised. I really have a hard time believing this is really going down, what a bad position he’s taking, uggh.

He doesn’t have anything they want. He has no power of them as a result. Cursing and posturing will only lead to more attacks on him and the UFC.

I imagine this is the first time in a long time Dana can’t do anything to or about his enemies.

to asnwer your question

Anonymous distributes software that tons of kids upload through sites like 4chan, and the authors of the tools don’t get caught. Usually some kids getting tentacle porn off /b also download programs like Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) that they run when an attack is underway, maybe through a remixer or proxy server. The ones getting caught are the casual guys, the leaders are not really getting caught at all. There are whole transcripts of FBI interviews that have been posted, they are pretty funny.

Actually

the argument that piracy is bad for business is WRONG. There are studies that show that the people who pirate the most are among the highest spenders on content type pirated. So they may stream a lot, but they are the ones who buy a lot too. Think of it as a loss leader that you don’t have to pay for.

And in the end, he is ignoring the fact that the cost of law like SOPA is very real and there are consequences that outweigh his ability to bust the casual streamer. His willful ignorance of this is shortsighted and totally narcissistic, and is about to cost him.

Easier solution — charge less for the games, which will help way more in the long run.

Playstation online isn’t “free”, you pay for it with an increased console price and with it being a marketing strategy loss leader for you to buy games.

Personally, and feel free to call me a tinfoil hat wearing loon, but

I think Microsoft knows that’s a bad move.

Remember the Red Ring of Death? I’m sure Microsoft profited a shitload off of that malfunction because it caused tons of people to have to buy new consoles.

I feel like the whole, “Xbox 720 (or whatever it’ll be called) won’t play used games” idea is going to be next generation’s RRoD. They’ll release it, a ton of people will complain but buy it anyway, then they’ll release a new one that will play used games and ‘apologize’ while laughing all the way to the bank.

I’m probably just being super-paranoid or stupid, but that’s honestly what I think they’re doing.

i dunno about that...

you’re forgetting they had to replace a ton of consoles too, and pay for shipping. far more people had them replaced through Microsoft than purchase a new one out of pocket. that alone had them in the red for the first few years of the console. Microsoft didn’t start posting profits for the 360 until about ‘07-’08 – they didn’t make enough money for that hypothesis to be even halfway possible.

i had two of them bricked and got the updated black one as soon as it came out with a trade-in. anything else regarding a future console is merely speculation and rumors at this point. i doubt they’d do something that stupid.

no

Microsoft did not post actual profits on the 360 until about ‘08-’09 [if i remember correctly on the timeline] largely because of the RRoD, which led to them replacing consoles [like two of mine] and paying for shipping on their own via UPS. more people had their devices replaced through Microsoft than there were people that bought a new one out of pocket. nobody can be that stupid to hemmorage the kind of money they did intentionally. your hypothesis is unfortunately incorrect.

Or they force you to chose between your job or loyalty to a shitty wage.

I worked for an electronics store, similar to Bestbuy. When we got bought out, the new CEO promised to raise wages. And they did. The trade off? Benefits. My boss offerred me a $0.50 / hour raise. In return, I had to sign a letter indicating I would give up my vacation days in lieu of this increase. I was young and dumb and didn’t know any better, but what I did know, was that those who didn’t sign it, were eventually let go. So I signed it. Then the next week my boss sees me working in the warehouse wearing a pair of jeans that were torn up a bit. He then says, “You just got a raise! Don’t you think you can go buy some new jeans?” I should have quit right then and there, but I needed the money, so I took the bullshit.

I don’t know if it’s still in place, but where I live, it used to be that if your employer required you to wear a specific uniform, they would have to a) provide the uniform, and b) provide you with an allowance to keep said uniform clean, or provide cleaning services for you. When I worked for Blockbuster, they used to give me a $5 a paycheque to wash my uniform. When I started working for the electronics company, they didn’t give me that, but still required me to wear their shirts, so I brought it up one day, and magically, the next week we no longer had to wear them if we didn’t want to.

I don’t know if it’s like that now. I haven’t had a job where they made me wear a uniform in, oh, six years or so.

My sister in law showed me a price vs cost list for products of a very large very well know clothing store I wont specify. This company was charging $30 for underwear that a Chinese factory made for $.10 and $90 for a bra that costed $1 to produce. My problem is that a small group of people make a fucking killing off of something while the people who actually make the product are making literally just enough to survive. Either bring the price of your product down if your going to fuck people over with wages or else pay people a living wage, not the change in your couch.

I used to work for a theater right after university (yes, my high priced degree got me a min wage job, 20 hrs a week at the theater, but I digress), and every night after the shows were over, we would throw out bags and bags of popcorn. I’d have to count the empty bags and cups. That’s all they cared about. They charge $5 for a popcorn, which probably cost them pennies. Meanwhile, they refused to give me more hours, or else they might have to give me some benefits too. So to say I am conflicted about movie theaters is an understatement.

My employment started at a theater and then moved to managing the IT department for a movie theater POS software company which meant a lot of trade shows and drunken industry talk.

The real money comes from your concessions, not the tickets. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at the film companies who charge higher and higher percentages for you to get their movies on opening weekend, which means you have to charge more and more for tickets to not take a loss just on getting people into the theater. But because you charge higher ticket prices, people sneak food and drinks into the movie with them, and when you don’t sell your concession (which is massively marked up) then you’re not raking in money at all really.

Oh, and because people are sneaking food in and you’re selling less, that means you have to raise the concession prices in those nice little quarter to 50 cent increments and ding the people who actually buy their shit. Which also alienates more people from buying who then sneak stuff in. And soon it’s $24 for a large popcorn and two drinks.

I usually go to a bar and get a few drinks and some food before going to the theater.

I’d rather pay $5 for a beer than $5 for popcorn.

Also, because I worked at a theater, I know what we used to regularly clean, and what we didn’t. That’s why to this day I avoid fountain pops whenever I can and don’t touch the hotdogs.

Beer is ALWAYS the best choice LOL
Hot dogs are nasty anywhere you get them. The shit they grind up into those things makes me want nothing to do with them. Having any low paid employee handle my food scares me. I worked at a Fazolis Italian fast food restaurant in college and saw some nasty shit. One guy ran a baked sandwich through the oven and when it came out the cheese was all melted and gooey. He then dropped it cheese side down onto the filthy ass floor. When he picked it up the cheese had nasty looking shit all over in it and he just slapped it back onto the sandwich and took it out front for the customer. Yummy.

True story.

The theater I worked at was really strict about not letting people bring in other food. So one day I was working the doors, ripping tickets, and this woman with her teenage son comes up holding bags of Burger King. So I tell her she can’t bring that in, and she says to me – no, shrieks at me: “MY SON HAS CANCER! FUCK YOU HE’S EATING THIS INSIDE!” And she shoved past me. That’s when I knew I needed to be serious about finding a better job.

i've been following dana on twitter for some time now, and i have a few observations

Yes he does talk a lot of shit, but ha always responds in the same tone or attitude as the people who contact him. Generally if you disagree with him, but aren’t a dick about it he won’t be a dick to you, but if you are an ass to him, he is going to one up you and be a bigger ass.

If you look closely 99% of the time that Dana talks shit to someone is because they instigated him by saying something rude and negative first.

I don’t agree with dana, but i still like and respect him. I just wish he would challenge “the internet” because these type of things can escalate and end up hurting us the fans. I like the internet, and i also like the UFC, i just wish this “beef” would end.

and i don’t think they have a true leader, so when one member or an extremist does something stupid they end up taking the blame.

But I along with most people her would disagree with SOPA being the best way to stop online piracy. But who cares? He’s just a businessman.

Supporting SOPA does not support UFC interests.

It would take down a lot of sites that give them tons of free exposure and support, including mixedmartialarts.com, sherdog.net, every MMA blog on SBNation, most youtube content about MMA including every fan made highlight video (with or without UFC footage). Here’s my (slightly drunk) stab at PR for them.

While Zuffa takes a firm stance against piracy and copyright infringement we also understand that provisions of SOPA and PIPA will hurt the communities that have supported MMA through it’s darkest times. The spirit of these acts is admirable but we do not support the executions. Zuffa looks forward to and will fully support future legislation that will assist us in providing content to our devoted fans.

Any hackers have a problem with that position?

the most disturbing thing about this conversation thread is that he seems to only care about the online piracy aspect is if it were burning a hole in his profits. not that it’s right, and i understand that it hurts his business – but he seems oblivious the the fact that SOPA and PIPA have horrible consequences for everyone else.

thats my thinking too. its coin flip

Sonnen fight is pretty straight forward in my eyes
Wiedman could do enough to just maintain top control(this scares me)
I could see davis getting top control then again Rashad could just land one over hand right.
Then the Johnson/Roller im bleh on. Roller could get slept but he could also wrestlefuck M.J into a sub.

Roller's striking is so bad that he's Ben Henderson's only TKO victory.

But his wrestling should be enough to flush MJ out of the UFC.

Swanson/Roop is the hot bout and I’ve got Roop by destruction.

This isn’t a card though that looks like it’s filled with KO potential. Lots of subs and decisions I think.

And that SOPA supporters and the prominent people who back them don’t know shit about the internet and how their solution will never ever work?

No, but it's one.

You can’t propose a bill to effectively damage the free internet as we know it and not expect hackers to make it seem like child’s play.

Pdl said it in another thread, but the government’s technology to develop something like what’s in SOPA would be way behind every single useful pirate or hacker. There’s one example right there. He challenges hackers to hack UFC.com, he gets his SS number on Twitter within hours.
