here's a nutty thought: maybe change your email account and move on with your life instead of stalking and harassing someone over a simple mistake

I'm not touching any of that poo poo anymore. I just set a filter with any email that has her name in the "To" header and mark it as read and archives it.

in secfuck of yester-week: the highest danish court of justice ruled on a case of “what happens when you’re defrauded of your digital signature credentials?” in short, Denmark has a system of digital signatures and logins using 2fa. You use it for things like logging into your bank account or signing for a loan. I did this last year when buying my house. Currently it’s named “NemID” if someone else gets hold of your credentials and 2fa device (most commonly a piece of cardboard with codes on it like you’re keying in the nuke codes) and uses this to take a loan or buy an iPhone, then you are still 100% liable for these loans or purchases. The court ruled NemID as higher than a signature or contract. recently this kind of fraud has been targeted at the lowest rungs of society, homeless, foreigners and the mentally retarded who are left with debts and a court / banking system telling them to go gently caress themselves. this has been my banking 2fa story thanks for reading

It's sort of like how banks refused to believe transactions could be fraudulent after the rollout of chip and pin in various countries, because even if the cards were stolen the thieves shouldn't know the pin. Except, because of a flaw in the protocol it turned out that it was possible to do a trick to effectively downgrade the cards to chip and signature or something like that.

I have had payments go through on japan after I botched the pin tbh they probably have people manually approve all transactions too

some guy in America keeps signing up to job sites with my email address so he probably wonders why he's never receiving anything. I also receive bank notifications on my other account with the same name, presumably from the same guy. Once I got an invite to a family bbq and I think I did reply all to that and tell them to get their poo poo together and tell the guy to use the right address. or maybe I goatse'd the entire family idk it was a long time ago

The Boy Scouts of America have their own social networking platform. Some dumbass Scout Master or parent signed up with my email address. It took a bit of effort to disassociate my email address with their poo poo (deleted the person's account in the end) because they don't email address verification.

this morning BBC had a story on ransomware that was pretty standard, except at the end they went and interviewed a company that's apparently ransomware consultants or something? where companies will contract the whole "deal with the criminals" part out to them, and they'll try to negotiate the price down and handle buying the bitcoins and stuff like that. seems like a fun job

The problem is that now everyone knows that all these local governments are vulnerable to multiple-year-old exploits and will pay tons of money to get their data back from ransomware, which means that ransomware is probably going to become even more widespread in the near future. Incidentally, I think this makes a very strong case for forced automatic updates for software. mystes fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Jun 26, 2019 |
