fun reverse of this story: Amex wouldn't let me create a username unless it had at least 2 #s.

gotta get dem high entropy... usernames? 🤔

tacked on my birth year like everyone else probably does 🎉

at least they let me create a complex password too

my bank still forces people to use their debit card # as the userid and limits the password to 8 characters letters and numbers only

the mobile app doesn't support biometrics

2fa isn't a thing on any personal accounts to my knowledge

Meeting and Hotel Booking Provider’s Data Found in Public Amazon S3 Bucket

quote:

The latest belongs to Groupize, a Boston-area business that sells tools to manage small group meetings as well as a booking engine that handles hotel room-block reservations. Researchers at Kromtech Security, parent company of Mackeeper and other Mac-related security tools, found a publicly accessible bucket containing business and personal data, including contracts and agreements between hotels, customers and Groupize, Kromtech said.

The data included some credit card payment authorization forms that contained full payment card information including expiration data and CVV code. The researchers said the database stored in S3 contained numerous folders, below; one called “documents” held close to 3,000 scanned contracts and agreements, while another called all_leads had more than 3,100 spreadsheets containing critical Groupize business data including earnings. There were 37 other folders in the bucket containing tens of thousands of files, most of them storing much more benign data.

I wonder which consultant set them up with wide open S3 buckets :thunk:

Let me respond in Bloom County strip.

The person ordered a McDonald's Hamburger with everything removed from it (bun, patty, etc.) leading to ate all the Oreos' joke that there should have been an empty wrapper in the bag (since the hamburger had had every component removed but did not ask for it to be not wrapped).

:siren: Sonos says users must accept new privacy policy or devices may "cease to function" :siren:

"The sound system maker will not allow existing customers to opt-out of the new privacy policy."

http://www.zdnet.com/article/sonos-accept-new-privacy-policy-speakers-cease-to-function/

quote:

Sonos has confirmed that existing customers will not be given an option to opt out of its new privacy policy, leaving customers with sound systems that may eventually "cease to function".

It comes as the home sound system maker prepares to begin collecting audio settings, error data, and other account data before the launch of its smart speaker integration in the near future.

A spokesperson for the home sound system maker told ZDNet that, "if a customer chooses not to acknowledge the privacy statement, the customer will not be able to update the software on their Sonos system, and over time the functionality of the product will decrease."

"The customer can choose to acknowledge the policy, or can accept that over time their product may cease to function," the spokesperson said.

there's a pretty big difference between "it'll break after a while because it's not getting updates" and "we're going to intentionally break it" a la FTDI

well they did it to try to hurt people who bought knockoff chips, except nobody intentionally buys knockoff chips they just kinda weasel their way into the supply chain and can pop up even in very well-made products with good sourcing

Well yeah. That's a bit different from say a nest thermostat that freezes you to death without WiFi, or when google remote-bricked their revolv devices because they shut down nest, or speakers refusing to play music without a proper service on the other end.

Or the videogames that won't let you play single player without phoning home to servers.
