#data breach

Discord data breach that leaked photo IDs used for age verification in age appeals. If you're affected, supposedly discord has already been in touch with you.

Join ICE, go to prison.

Terrific development.

Saw on FB earlier today a soft spoken woman addressing ICE Agents and asking if their bosses had briefed them on 18 USC Section 242, which makes it a crime to deprive a person of their rights "under color of law", with additional elements like kidnapping while armed resulting in sentences with a maximum of life in prison - specifically addressed to people like ICE Agents, and that qualified immunity applies only to civil matters and does not protect from criminal charges.

There's already people saying "I'm probably just going to give Discord my ID and face because there's nowhere else to go."

All you have to do is be patient. Leave the app for two fucking weeks. Cancel your nitro sub and leave.

The only reason this is happening is because people don't know how to boycott. The reason we don't have password sharing on Netflix anymore is because people showed Netflix that it didn't matter if they took password sharing away. The reason we're saddled with Twitter Blue is because everyone caved and bought paid features that used to be free.

And yeah, corporations have a lot of responsibility for enshittification, but they're going to keep fucking doing it if they know they can get away with it. Boycotts work, but you have to actually boycott the thing.

I boycotted Netflix for two YEARS before seeing that their average user count was increasing and that boycotting was, by the barest definition of the word, not happening.

Fighting against enshittification means sometimes you have to inconvenience yourself and take a stand. You can't just yell and expect things to get better if you don't actually try to make them better. Why would Discord stop doing this if the company knows it won't suffer in the long run? It's actually already planning to lose users and it has a strategy in mind to get them back. Because the company knows people just won't hold out.

"Where will I go to message friends then?" I don't know. And I'm very sad about that. My mental health will take a hit, and it'll suck for a long time. But like, when you think about why they want ID verification, it's very likely going straight to ICE, right? You know that, right? This isn't even a conspiracy anymore. It's just facts.

And the first person who tells me I'm fearmongering gets bashed over the entire face with the "phones aren't really listening, you idiot" conspiracy that turned out to be true.

Listen. Just try. I really need you all to just try.

Thousands of schools around the globe, including in Canada, have been hit by a massive cybersecurity incident involving Canvas, an online learning-management system that connects millions of students with their instructors. Post-secondary institutions including the University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, the University of Alberta and Western University's Ivey Business School are among the affected Canvas users. Here's what we know about the breach. What kind of data? At universities, colleges and some K-12 schools, instructors use Canvas to share a wide range of material with students, from course notes and assignments to media and exams. They can also use it to communicate and share grades or other updates.

“A data breach at a Texas state government department allowed hackers to take the driver’s license information and passport numbers of more than 3 million people”

This is the largest data breach for the state in this year

There was a security issue that hackers took advantage of

“that allowed hackers to access the department’s license system vendor, which handles the sale of hunting and fishing licenses.”

The vendor is unknown

"District Judge Matthew Barrett told former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters — after earlier sparring with her for continuing to press discredited claims about rigged voting machines — that she never took her job seriously.

“I am convinced you would do it all over again if you could. You’re as defiant as any defendant this court has ever seen,” Barrett told her in handing down the sentence. “You are no hero. You abused your position and you’re a charlatan.”

Jurors found Peters guilty in August for allowing a man to misuse a security card to access to the Mesa County election system and for being deceptive about that person’s identity.

The man was affiliated with My Pillow chief executive Mike Lindell, a prominent promoter of false claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the election from former President Donald Trump. The discredited claims trace back to Trump himself, whose supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol because of them and who still hints at them in his third run for president."
