Second Factor #SMS: Worse Than Its Reputation


Source: https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2024/2fa-sms

IdentifyMobile, a provider of 2FA-SMS, shared the sent one-time passwords in real-time on the internet. The #CCC happened to be in the right place at the right time and accessed the data. It was sufficient to guess the subdomain "idmdatastore". Besides SMS content, recipients' phone numbers, sender names, and sometimes other account information were visible.

Edward #Snowden just tweeted:


The NSA is just 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 from taking over the internet, and it's not on the front page of any newspaper--because no one has noticed.

Why I use #Firefox


  1. The about:config page
  2. Mozilla cannot decrypt my data on their servers
  3. Translating web pages is also completely private
  4. Mozilla develops their own browser engine
  5. The best support for extensions on #Android
  6. A great picture-in-picture player


I #trust #Mozilla more than I trust #Google, #Apple, #Microsoft, or any other company that makes #web browsers. This trust is based on the fact that Mozilla chooses the highest level of user privacy when developing services such as Firefox Sync, Firefox Translate, and others. A web browser is an integral part of a person’s #online life, so it makes sense to choose a #browser from a company that one trusts the most.

It is all in your head. Technically.

The background: someone on the Internet said we should all ditch our glasses and do yoga instead, much more natural.

I think this was the best response.

Most common websites have one of:

- "We care your #privacy"
- No mention of Cloudflare in privacy policy
- Saying "we do not log"
- Endorsing other Cloudflare site as #ethical product

yet they still use #Cloudflare , completely contradicting their statement.

Don't be like them,. Don't fool or lie to your visitor.
Start hosting your #website properly.

The original #internet is not designed for #centralization.

The best book about Informed Consent in fantasy


#consent, #internet, #terrypratchett, #privacy

Our Internet is paid for via surveillance capitalism. Where our consent is only loosely sought.

Our attention is auctioned off as ads using our browsing metadata and more.

THIS great sentiment

maybe we ALL take a serious & sober look at how ABSENCE of LAW over past 18 years (not bad law, shitty or law unfair law... no law)
in:
• #internet
• #mobile #social

Gibt es noch (komfortable) freie Browser


Mir scheint es als ob Chromium und die Firefox Engine die Internetwelt völlig unter sich aufgeteilt haben. Gibt es noch freie, aktuelle, unter Linux laufende Browser, bei denen man weder auf Komfort noch auf wesentliche Funktionen verzichten muss?

Curl und Lynx kenne ich gut, erfüllen meine Anforderungen in Bezug auf Komfort halt nur bedingt ;)

#Japan breaks #internet #speed record with a 319Tbps data transfer

As with many of these experiments, it could be a long time before this performance has a meaningful impact. While the four-core #fiber would work with existing networks, the system could easily be very expensive. It's more likely to see initial use with internet backbones and other major networking projects where capacity matters more than cost.
