Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Are we sure someone just didn't ask Gemini for 48 million Gmail credentials and immediately get them?

I'm holding a grudge because I was arranging a Craiglist sale and when I sent the buyer my phone number to text my account was suddenly disabled for "unusual activity" signing me out of everything. I was able to re-enable it right away, but I'm pretty sure whatever AI-trash system is in place to monitor accounts did it.

Hey want to play a game? Your bank is gonna text you a number, and I'm going to guess it. Tell me if my guesses need to be higher or lower.

This is why you never enable SMS based MFA. TOTP is well established and just works. If you need even more security FIDO2 devices like YubiKey are a thing.

It would be nice if that was a choice but SMS is unavoidable.

For the love of God, someone inform Citibank and Chase of this. My dinky little local credit union allows me to use TOTP, but Citi and Chase still only seem to support SMS.

[–] naticus@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Chase supports push notifications via their app now, so at least they're moving forward toward something a bit more secure. But yes, I'm so pissed that so many banks use SMS when it's known to be easily spoofed.

hellnuh, that your own website you keep posting?

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

It is, but it doesn’t seem nefarious. Just somebody trying to carve out a little corner to help individuals find some tools to get away from Google and such. Maybe they make money via some affiliate links, but is that a bad thing?

Yeah, address looks sus af

Check Op's username and the community it mods, and you'll know what I mean.

Analysis indicates the data was aggregated over time from multiple sources, including malware infections, phishing campaigns, and older third-party breaches. There is no indication of a direct compromise of Google’s internal infrastructure.

Everything is vulnerable to that, including proton.
