Goddammit, can companies stop leaking our shit everywhere please
I’d prefer fuck-you-fines making it impossible to ignore the security that are actually enforced.
And that’s why its important to prefer internet services hosted in particular companies. The English legacy of law has been very poor at keeping society safe from corporations because these laws were established when the British Empire was a vast trade corporation with an inbred person as CEO by way of the pope said Jesus wanted that family to be in charge.
What’s crazy making is a lot of the places the British destabilized the indigenous people had very advanced methods of ensuring society benefited everyone. Not all of them of course, but enough of them that its hard to see the English legacy of law practice as anything other than fundamentally broken and not worth the amount of spread it was forced to have at gunpoint. Like when I hear about how Iroquois nation justice worked I can’t help but feel something truly special was lost by way of colonists wanted to profit off beaver pelts
Especially with such careless failures. If some employee was tricked through a well-planned social engineering attack, or they used some mega obscure day0 vulnerability, I’d not be happy, but shit happens, I guess. But not sending my phone number when someone just posts some GET command to an API should be a no-brainer…
What confuses me is even a half-competent audit and pentest would absolutely have found an api endpoint that’s going to absolutely leak customer data, so the assumption I have to make is that, yet again, a “security” company can’t be fucked to do the bare minimum to ensure their security shit is you know, secure.
Posting this against your comment for visibility, I would recommend anyone that was using authy switch to bitwarden’s dedicated 2F authentication app. The company maintains several security compliance certificates and fairly regularly gets audited which they post publicly at https://bitwarden.com/help/is-bitwarden-audited/
That’s especially bad, because the default behavior, iirc, is to have Multi-Device turned on, which means anyone can potentially add their device to your account and access your TOTP.
And I don’t expect most users to know how or to remember to turn it off.
We have taken action to secure this endpoint
Oof, lucky I left them for aegis, android only app a long time ago. I hope/think I closed my authy account 🤞
