infosex.exchange <3

You are probably looking for the infosec.exchange Mastodon instance

This host is mostly for my random stuff, and in little part acts like a well-intentioned placeholder for the typosquatted domain.

Discoverability and Archiving

Currently I'm using this host for saving the items from my own feeds to the Wayback Machine and provide in-links for search engines. I hate that I have to do this, but the non-sense ideology of Mastodon pretty much ruined the search feature for Fediverse as a whole, and this wasn't changed by the fact that they owned their mistake and implemented search eventually.

Yes, I (or anyone else) could do similar things with other peoples published feeds, regardless of the tantrum. No, you can't defederate this, because the process doesn't rely on an instance.

Gluttony Section for Search Engines

@centaury Are they? I get password stuffing is a problem, but it's been a problem of current scale for at least a decade and many services require mfa, monitor compromised creds, monitor sus activity etc. I even got my debit card skimmed once, and lost exactly 0 money.

I'd be on a different opinion if we talked e.g. medical data, but many breached services just don't hold data that is much valuable to anyone.

@jrsofty @GossiTheDog In this case I'd risk that "journalist" may not be the right word to describe these people?

I'm probably in the Ticketmaster leak, and as a security person my concern about this is approaching 0.

Have I lost my senses, or are these breaches generally a bit overblown (esp. in our circles)?

@GossiTheDog Highly trained in what exactly? o.O

@joegrand The car traffic example reminded me of Johnny Mnemonic, where the encryption key consists of 3 frames of the current TV program (and it's symmetric of course, so they had to fax the images :)). It seems they not only heavily underestimated the amount of storage (Johnny's brain could barely hold 320 GB) but also computing capacity that would be available in the future :) #SciFi
