Back when I was in college, I was young and dumb enough that I’d login to AIM on the college computers. (Nowadays I won’t login to personal accounts on anything I don’t fully control. I’m always surprised by coworkers who check their bank accounts, social media, personal email, etc. on their work laptops.)
Anyway, even at the time I was pretty good at logging out when I left each computer, but once I forgot. The next time I logged in, I was surprised to discover that my entire buddy list had been cleared. I never understood the motivation behind doing so. I don’t think it was particularly funny but, even if it were, it’s not like the perpetrator got to see my reaction or even to point and laugh.
I did learn a lesson from it, but presuming that that was the mission of whomever did it feels … Generous.
2fa got me locked out of google after losing my phone so fu2
You didn’t print out or write down the codes they give you for this exact situation? 100% your fault and not 2FA’s
True but also I wasn’t there when other people had to clear out my apartment so I didn’t have much of a clue wether or not it would be saved.
Still know my pw managers pw by heart and have my gmail account pw written down but not that actual code, no.
“Hahaha hacked!!! … now let me dox myself.”
Maybe that’s the name he uses so people think he is called timothy! And it wasn’t a sprint store! Classic misdirects
sudo hack IP -127.0.0.1
Lmao this is cute
Logged into what?
What’s a Sprint store?
If it’s a shop that sells electronics like Currys or Mediamarkt then why would this person log into anything on display?
Phone carrier.
They have display phones and tablets.
And some people use those display units for social media for some reason.
Back in the 2010s I had a friend work in stores as a “device expert”, he handled daily resets of the display units (this was pre-MDM easy management days). The number of people who just logged on to Twitter, Facebook Messenger, even WhatsApp or GRINDR of all things (yes, dude left his grindr account logged in, full of explicit images, which downloaded to the device’s gallery, while the phones were most often used by KIDS in the store…), it was simply astonishing.
Sprint
iswas a phone carrier in North America (pretty sure just the US, but they may have been in Canadia, too)Their called T-Mobile now they merged or bought them, I don’t remember. T-Mobile is owned by Deutsche Telekom
No it was USA only. We have three mobile carriers that own all the cell towers here. You’re either with Rogers, Bell, or Telus, or one of their derivatives. There’s zero competition here, it’s ridiculous.
2FA won’t help if you leave a session running on a public device
Kid looks like a Mad magazine cover.
Two factor would not help here. One needs to remember to log out of public devices before leaving them.
best to always use incognito browser on public devices. when you close the browser, it logs you off automatically.
Do you know what 2fa is?
It’s like when people think VPNs will magically prevent their credentials from leaking while they’re giving them to some sketchy website
Ok, you’ve hacked me.
I hope you’re ready for what you’re about to see.
Goat…
