Kind of worrying when their source is a “data breach information website” that does advertorials for “the most safe password manager” NordPass. 🤮 The internet of today has become a pile of absolute shit.
We should make a new internet in the dark web, but only invite cool people. No billionaires, narcs nor finks allowed !
No narcs or finks? What about patsies or stoolies? Can we at least have phonies?
I’ll give you one chump and half a busta, but that’s all you’re getting!
Best I can do is two scrubs and whatever’s left of our collective hope for the species.
I don’t want no scrubs
What about phonie bronies?
Absolutely not !
Yes: -coolsters -rad dudes -rockin chicks -chill peeps
No: -bilionaires -narcs -finks -Howard (yes you, Howard)
Howard is the worst, after Bill Gates
I think it’s gotten to the point that we. (Collective) Have to start using alias. I know proton for a price gives fake mobile and email address.
I have started using a 5th email to sign up to things. Have an extra number as well. It’s beyond a joke really.
Tried to sign up for a budget app and it requires email phone and address.
No. No you don’t require any of that. You want that to sell. And you’ve likely got inadequate protection.
Nobody but my bank job and maybe a few places require all my info.
Oh proton gives mobile too… Ya know I didn’t feel like paying for the mail thing as I can have my domain and relay easily but the mobile thing I didn’t know.
But I will be honest I didn’t see it mentioned on the web, it’s already a thing?
They only generate email addresses.
Am I blind or are none of these actually offered by Proton themselves?
But could this also bypass dumb VoIP requirements for things like SMS 2FA?
I’ve tried using my Google Voice similarly but I’m faced with “I’m sorry but this number cannot be used for this.”
Could you use Google voice to generate a dumby phone line ? There are probably better non-google options now though.
The problem here is that all of the registration information that is listed for a number (OCN, LATA, etc) allows them to track back what TYPE of number it is based on what ILEC/CLEC it’s registered with and how it’s registered.
This means when I put my google voice number into some things, they can come back and yell that it’s not a mobile phone, or that it’s a virtual number, or whatever and disallow it.
Why do you not just use OpenOffice Calc for your budgeting?
What’s that ? Just excel spreadsheet?
Yeah except it’s fully FOSS. If you set up nextcloud there’s even a web app for it that’s pretty good.
Will need to check It out. Will it play nice with other applications ?
I used it in college and never had any problems, it seems to have feature parity with Excel. I used Excel professionally for a while and some of the workflows are a little different, but on the whole it’s really intuitive and easy to use. I’m sure there are other FOSS budgeting solutions, but Calc works so well for me I don’t see myself using anything else.
Not until a politician or billionaire is harmed by these breaches will we see some action.
Definitely recommend a password vault to anyone that doesn’t already use one. After this next hack leaks, I imagine you’ll get at least a couple of attempts on your email/phone.
Who do you recommend?
“The MOAB contains 26 billion records over 3,800 folders, with each folder corresponding to a separate data breach. While this doesn’t mean that the difference between the two automatically translates to previously unpublished data, billions of new records point to a very high probability, the MOAB contains never seen before information.” Totaling 12TB.
My data has been stolen so often I have free monitoring for the rest of my life.
And everyone should just assume that every account they have will be hacked. Because it already is, they just haven’t found out yet (assume breach).
We just need a free dart monkey or two, it’ll be fine.
They said this about the equivalent breach, and yet here we are.
