Just think, the next data breach will now include your government issued ID!
And yet Discord still blocks using anonaddy addresses to sign up.
I always hated how invasive double counter was. Besides being a bouncer it’s also been used a stalking tool to find out peoples alt accounts and harass them.
Double Counter essentially acts as a bouncer bot for Discord servers
If you give a Discord Bot sensitive data, I’m sorry but you’re clearly the issue. Bots are software, you (hopefully) wouldn’t download a random piece of software from an untrusted souce and give it access to your sensitive data and you should apply the same level of caution when it comes to Discord Bots too.
You are victim blaming. Should they have been more cautions with handing over their data, yes. But the fact that they have to, is representative of the bad state of society. It is the fault of the company, people or systems that where trusted by the communities to properly protect it against evil actors. If they cannot protect that data, they shouldn’t have gathered it in the first place. And for that they should get punished properly and should recompense all victims. They should no longer be in business.
Civilization is built on trust, and if that trust erodes, civilization does too.
Correct, and the biggest erosion of trust is coming. It’ll definitely be something.
Basically, it’s the worst Discord hack via a third-party service provider since the last Discord hack via a third-party service provider, which occurred almost a year to the day ago – spooky!
LOL wow that thing that everyone said would happen, happened. Again.
Stop using Discord. Migrate to matrix https://joinmatrix.org/
Happy with Fluxer. :)
If only matrix was as usable as discord I’m sure a lot of people would
Stoat chat seems pretty decent open source alternative to Discord, tried it for a while and has similar usability, but same issue, “nobody uses it”, also development has been very slow.
It sometimes takes an eternity or two to decrypt my messages, making me really want to agree here.
It is more than usuable though, my only issue with it is the lack of communities other than that both apps and servers are pretty reliable imo
Again?
Thank god everyone was kept safe by this…
Oh, good. Hadn’t seen a Discord data breach article in a short while so was wondering if I’d slipped into a coma. All is normal.
I was worried that Discord became secure. I had nothing to worry about it seems.
Does anyone have that sweet gif of Ms. Rachel and Mamdani?
Honestly just save it to your phone, it’s needed on lemmy so much
Here’s a trick, save a comment of the gif, then you can copy the markup of the gif that’s already been uploaded
Set a keyboard shortcut to &rachelmamdani to replace that with the markup, and it’s at your fingertips!
Could even shorten it to &rm!
Now lets start adding in present day photos (for the children only, gotta keep them safe! oh and they must be in swimwear for extra security).
Plot twist, it’s a “rogue AI” doing data collection.
