bugbear

I’m aware, yes. That was my point

Yeah, I couldn’t find anything either

Oh good, so AI proponents can finally shut up about it.

We’re never going back to the time when brands weren’t trying to be one of us, are we

They could have had them printed

I wish someone warned me when I signed up, now it’s too late for me

Yes, it’s possible. You don’t even need to buy a domain.

That was an example, the point is it is possible to intercept it. It’s been done in the wild - again that’s why there’s such need for other methods of 2FA.

Re: Apple or Google That’s even easier for them, because, you know, they’ve got access to the phone. Heck, famously Apple had a bug/feature where it stored text of notifications which affected Signal, too. In that case it was law enforcement who took advantage of that, though.

I wouldn’t go around sounding the alarm about SMS, because I don’t think many people send stuff that shouldn’t be plaintext via SMS. I like using SMS, actually, because how simple it is and you don’t need 4G for that.

But the fact is messages can be read one way or another. If you want to conspire, definitely use something else.

Look, just because I can’t prove it it doesn’t mean it’s not true! The truth is somewhere!

Oops, my bad. Trying a new mobile client and I guess it doesn’t show when it’s crossposted? (Or it’s not in an obvious place)

Not even a crosspost? :O Funhole abandoned :c

One of the first links that came up: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/03/16-attack-let-hacker-intercept-a-t-mobile-users-text-messages/

Yeah, I was confused by that, too. But hey, sensory sensitivity maybe?

SMS/MMS is famously possible to intercept, by anyone, what are you talking about?

Otherwise it would be sufficient 2FA and we wouldn’t have to bother devising other methods.

I don’t know. Depends on the website you visit lol. DNS, WebRTC, there are certain ways.

I don’t know, maybe your settings. Or your screen size. Or your IP address is leaking through something.

In all fairness, overdoing it is also telling. Like the reason why Tor browser has everything standardised is because you hide in a crowd.

But not reporting anything is making you stand out as well, if you report uniquely little information about yourself with some statistics and guesswork you can be fingerprinted as well.

Sometimes people try to hide everything about themselves not realising that makes them unique and easier to identify.

That’s gotta get you those cool vegan powers, right?

Oh, interesting. I haven’t made that work then. So far I keep seeing cross posts. Somtimes literally one after another.
