When you say texts are that insecure, are you talking about a vulnerability with phones/viruses or the network delivering them?

Actually, flossing is just as important as brushing your teeth, if not more. Brushing only does so much to prevent gingivitis; don't google that if you're easily grossed out.

You can do a thing called simswapping that doesn’t require access to another persons phone and it gives you their texts https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_swap_scam

Ah I see. Having said that, if they've got my photo ID and can pass for me in-store, then I'd imagine they can already do much worse, but still interesting.

The most miserable case is when you use a high-quality password for netflix or whatever and then try and enter it on a smart TV using a remote.

It seems like both the issues can be largely avoided by having a decent provider, but I guess some will be locked into crappy markets.

My personal way for preventing identity theft is having such bad credit that anyone who stole my identity would be a fool unto himself.kirbysuperstar posted:Also sms is a horribly unreliable service and sometimes messages just never arrive I have to use two-factor for work and the push feature never works on campus, where I most often bloody need it. I have to tell it specifically to ring me, then answer the call. They also make us change passwords every month, so by the time I learn one well I have to change it.

Yeah crappy markets like... https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3g8wb/hacker-got-my-texts-16-dollars-sakari-netnumber America. This is with one of the largest carriers, so not sure who you think is decent, as I bet it works with every other provider too.

since we're having another conversation about data, data security, and data value, does anyone want to start a betting pool on the number of posts before the current passive-aggressive sniping turns into earnest attempts to tear each other to bloody shreds? side bets taken on when the mods come in to pretend like they're handling the issue and then decline to do anything about it.

It's more like your name and number get leaked and some person calls your provider pretending to be you and they just give them access even though they "forgot" the answers to the identity verifying questions and also there's a note attached to your account saying DO NOT SIMSWAP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES but they still get it because the Customer Is Always Right.

But like if you host with Bitwarden, do they have access to your passwords? It can’t be hashed right? So it’s just encrypted and only you have the key?

They host basically an encrypted file that you locally decrypt with your password. That's why there's no password recovery for your master password in Bitwarden. They never get your master password

If there are bad posts, then report them. There has been no reports from this thread in recent times other than your post that caused me to respond. I do not read this thread. There are a few threads I do not read and if I do not see any reports then I am going to hope things are going OK. If they are not OK then please let me know. Your post was passive aggressive and seemed to be exactly what you did not want in the thread so it confused me. I and Harrow need information if you want us to help threads.
