Chancellor Palpatine uses the same passcode for every account, and refuses to set up Space Multifactor Authentication

his official government Space Social Media account is, naturally, hacked by someone planning to use it to make a meme post about how Palpatine did the Invasion of Naboo (a la "Bush did 9/11" memes), and so the hacker immediately tries that passcode on a bunch of other sites, and....well, hits the paydirt of the century, accessing all of the secret Banking Clan accounts and additional comms systems that Sidious has been hiding

they drop an anonymous tip to the Jedi, and then dump the information on the holonet, sending copies to every reputable news platform in the galaxy as they gather up all of their loved ones in order to disappear them all on the most obscure and inaccessible dirtball they can find to hide from the fallout

but not before using Palpatine's Space Social Media account to post "I literally actually did the Invasion of Naboo lol, and I've posted the proof online"

Hey Americans, I know there is a LOT happening, but please contact your house rep on KOSA. This will make it illegal for me to post my art online in order to "protect kids" cause those who sponsor it want to use it try to suppress LGBT content.

On a more cyber security side, I also don't trust website's having to use government issued IDs for age verification cause the chance for Identity theft will skyrocket through the roof. Since I keep my online stuff VERY separated, I will not use any website that requires ID.

"Eric Noonan, CEO of cybersecurity provider CyberSheath, told CNN it’s likely too early to tell if an attack caused the issues.

“One of the things that should always be taken with a grain of salt is any statements made in the short period of time, immediately after, or even in this case during an attack,” Noonan said.

Musk has a history of attributing technical snafus to cyberattacks. When his conversation with Donald Trump on X started 42 minutes late in August 2024, he said there was a “probability” of an attack."

International hackers have launched a dedicated website for releasing information obtained from recent breaches into sensitive Israeli databases, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Tuesday. The site has already posted thousands of documents reportedly acquired by infiltrating systems associated with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, the National Insurance, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dimona nuclear research facility, according to Haaretz. The leaks were reportedly attributed to a newly emerging hacker group dubbed ‘NetHunt3rs’, which demanded the release of 500 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for withholding the entirety of the disclosed information. While the Israeli Ministry of Defense acknowledged the breaches, labeling the affected websites as “non-sensitive websites,” an investigation by Haaretz reportedly revealed that the leaked materials included sensitive data from administrative portals, such as employee identification information, defense tenders, and details on Israeli military technological systems, including armored vehicles and satellite photography systems. According to the report, another group, named ‘Tafari HaNasser’, claimed responsibility for hacking into Israel’s National Insurance Institute. It said that it possesses personal data of 8 million Israeli citizens, including bank account details and residential addresses. Although the National Insurance denied any breach, the group circulated a video purportedly showcasing access to Israeli citizens’ personal information.

EXPRESS VPN IS A SCAM

I signed up for Express VPN a few months back because I heard it was better than Nord (it's not, much slower, but that's another issue) and ended up canceling after my first month. Today, I got an email from them saying that my automatic subscription renewal had been turned back on and that they charged me $28 dollars. I thought the email might have been a phishing scam, so I went to the Express VPN site and check, and what do you know, my subscription that I canceled months ago had been turned back on and now expires in one month. I canceled it, again, and contacted customer support. Here's a screenshot of that conversation

Now what I want to point out here is that this chat has been edited by Express VPN. At first, there was nothing between "Please bear with me while I quickly review your account" and "Rest assured there were no charges made and that your subscription is canceled". When I asked my follow up questions, suddenly the part about "Thank you for waiting, this has been escalated to our internal team..." popped into existence, and the chat went dead. As I was typing this, I began typing a follow up question about the "internal team" but before I could even finish typing it up, I got another message saying that the internal team would be looking into the issue. They also never acknowledged that I wanted my credit card info deleted.

So far, I have no support ticket for this and no emails acknowledging that my complaint has been forwarded to a different support team. I searched around t he internet and found this reddit thread where other people have been having this same issue going back 4 years.

So yeah, Express VPN is a scam. It saves your credit card information and then randomly reactivates your subscription after you cancel it and charges you. Don't use Express VPN.

171/366 Days of Growth

Keeping with my 3AM-4AM morning study sessions. I must admit it is harder after some years waking up this early, but I can do it.

I am grateful for the colder weather, it was hard to study with that heat, even at dawn.

Wednesday today, and it looks like the whole week has gone 🤨

The same company Hillary Clinton and the DNC hired to burry the Wikileaks dump and frame Trump to seed the fake Russia Collusion narrative for 10 years, is now global news for the largest cyber blackout across the planet affecting banks, news stations, airports, 911 services, hospitals etc…

Nothing to see here 🤔

Real talk, feels bad for anyone who had a flight or train ride scheduled, or works in healthcare, banking, apparently the malaysian stock exchange and other mission critical areas which rely on "CrowdStrike."

Supposedly a fix is being pushed but no ETA on deployment.
