[...] They did it after they had a service side compromise to try to show they care about security. In reality, it is not a security feature. [...]

That's everything one needs to know about #Authy.

They did it after they had a service side compromise to try to show they care about security. In reality, it is not a security feature. > companies with stronger right to repair mentalities Most of the products tend to have significantly worse security than a typical Samsung, etc. device.

I love it when, three times a year, the IT department at my job makes me change my password. It literally breaks everything I'm doing for a day, and I'm always discovering weird places where the password hasn't been updated.

I have to use a bad password, because it's one I have to actually be able to carry in my head. Or *write down*. This policy makes security demonstrably worse.

Also, when I reset my Microsoft products, they try to *take over my entire personal device*. smh

JWcph, Radicalized By Decency

So, the company literally stealing my private information to sell it wants me to know that for my own safety I can't change my login info until I've used their bullshit platform for "a while" from this device.

Nevermind that because I tried to remove myself from an old page I don't manage anymore I can't use #Facebook at all. Just doesn't load.

The #enshittocene is literally hell - in fact, if you travelled back in time & told Dante he'd tell you to tone it the fuck down.

@ArpadLinks @greenpeace The most important part would be to also provide incentives.

  • People will naturally avoid flying due to the whole "#SecurityTheater" shitshow on airports, which is why it's way faster to take the Train from Cologne to Paris @ 3h15min total travel time: Even if one were to have a car that could drive literally 300+ km/h right up to the french border and even then constantly floor the pedal to be just below the legal speed limit, it won't be able to win that race. And that assumes one has such preferential conditions, which don't exist at all even on a traffic-free road on a dry af sunday summer night.

As for Portable AiOs: Before LCDs were affordable and battery runtime practical, #luggables were the norm in terms of portable computers.

  • And with modern parts, a "laptop form factor" [potentially with carry handle] is perfectly feasible.

NAMING AND SHAMING: aamc.org

The Association of American Medical Colleges, the lobbying group that has positioned itself as the US med-school admissions cartel. Schmucks who teach biochemistry have to upload lots of letters there. It should be private and secure.

Just logged in and I am FORCED to change my password. Enforces dumb rules, including a LIMIT OF 25 CHARACTERS.

Also FORCED to adopt 2FA: which is limited to SMS.

I shit you not

After many conversations with Apple representatives, it has been determined that Apple's OFFICIAL POSITION on compromised accounts/identity theft is that it's NOT THEIR PROBLEM and there is no process to handle it.

Something to consider the next time you think of using Apple products because of their "security" and "privacy" marketing.

🚨 NEW TALK SLOT ALERT 🚨
I’m heading to the Big Easy for my very first—BSidesNOLA on May 13t!🎭

I'll be unraveling security theater like it’s a Mardi Gras parade float made of duct tape and forgotten YAML configs in my talk:

🎤 “Containers Won’t Fix Your Code: Unraveling the Elaborate Fabric of Security Theater”

Expect glitter, metaphors, and maybe a rogue container or two trying to unionize.

Let’s bust some myths, question the tools we love too much, and laugh our way through the absurdity of it all. 💥🍤
