Another +1 to openvas. Specifically, I have had much luck with this Dockerized version: https://github.com/immauss/openvas

This issue is extremely similar to problems found with both Intel and AMD processors too (see: Meltdown, Spectre).

2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sense as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet...

Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable...

Ars reported on this at the end of January.

Comcast reluctantly agrees to stop its misleading “10G Network” claims.
Comcast said it will drop "Xfinity 10G Network" brand name after losing appeal.

Yeah, it’s still confusing. It could be that since the ruling was made less than a month ago, there are active ad campaigns that they’re just going to let run their course, rather than cancel them.

But also, note the following from the source article:

Comcast said it may still use 10G in ways that are less likely to confuse consumers. "Consistent with the panel's recommendation... Comcast reserves the right to use the term '10G' or 'Xfinity 10G' in a manner that does not misleadingly describe the Xfinity network itself," the company said.

When contacted by Ars, a Comcast spokesperson said, "We disagree with the decision but are pleased that we have confirmed our continued use of 10G in advertising."

So maybe Ars overstepped in their headline?

The ones that went through FIPS 140-2 Type 3 or above validation are legit. We used Apricorn for CUI data…examples: https://www.archives.gov/cui/registry/category-list

I went with Kanary because it covered quite a lot and it is frequent, at least once a month - but EasyOptOuts does look like it’s worth the money.
