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!
What about phonie bronies?
Absolutely not !
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
Not until a politician or billionaire is harmed by these breaches will we see some action.
That seems weird, it’s called mother of all breaches, but isn’t the result of any one breach. It’s just data collection from ordinary breaches with perhaps some credential stuffing in the mix.
I’ve always thought LinkedIn is nothing more than a massive treasure trove of personal information just waiting to be harvested by thieves wanting the entire life and work history of millions of upwardly mobile career focused people.
Work History ok… But entire life… I guess people that used like it’s Facebook maybe? 🤔
LinkedIn is trying to encourage people to use it as a social networking site.
“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.
We just need a free dart monkey or two, it’ll be fine.
