#data breech

[karadin]

because of the data breech at the US Treasury - alas, we can't do anything about our social security numbers.

[running-batty]

It's important to note that instead of banning the app they could easily protect us citizen privacy by enacting stricter laws on what data apps are allowed to collect and what they can do with it.

But that would punish Facebook and X.

And they get paid way too much money to do that.

So it's red scare 2

so the house of representatives just passed a bill that will now move to the senate to BAN tik tok completely in the united states and they are expected to argue that “national security risks” outweigh the freedom of speech and first amendment rights. biden has already said that if it gets to him, he will sign it. whether or not you use the app…….this is something to be worried about

Dear friends not in America don’t take this the wrong way but please don’t tell us to just read a book or go outside

This is proof we do not live in the land of the free

We are finally starting to realize how much power our government has

They have taken a platform of free speech and thought and expression away from us

A place we can get extremely up to date news from around the world

And they have taken it

Some of us are on here on tumblr or other platforms but loosing TikTok is proof the government doesn’t care about us

Say it’s for our protection all they want. If they wanted to protect our data or us as people they woudl have banned Facebook and all other social media a long time ago bc that stuff gets breeches all the time

EDIT: hey pls check my reblog of this bc I wanted to clear a few things up since this post got a little more attention than I thought it would.

Soooo I've been obsessed with the image in this post since I first saw it, and decided to hunt down the source [Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded (2016 Edition)]. Here's Mitaka's page, and a close-up of that image; unfortunately it's tiny!

Feel free to use, edit etc.

Update: here's the best digital version of that image that I can find, slightly edited [maybe I'll clean it up someday..]:

Additional notes and transcript below:

[Google lists Mitaka's actor Sebastian Armesto at 5'8" and the fact that they added 3" to him makes me giggle. Let him be a little short!]

The fact that Mitaka's homeworld is listed as 'Uknown' is interesting to me. I wonder it's something thought out by the writers, or just hand-waving [guy didn't even have a name in the movie credits, iirc]. I've long hced that Mitaka was born on a starship to Imperial parents - but it's also possible that Mitaka was taken into the FO at a very young age and simply doesn't remember his home planet.

As most Mitaka enjoyers know, Mitaka graduated at the top of his class in the Academy. Despite being appearing terrified when facing Ren, he's evidently very, very good at his job. And, I know "Ren's unforgiving command style" is being tongue in cheek, but it does implicate a contrast to Hux's command style, which is apparently not-so unforgiving.

Something I see some get wrong — Mitaka is part of the FO Navy, not the Army. He's in charge of starships rather than ground forces, and he would make the ranks of Commander, Captain, and Admiral rather than Major, Colonel, and General.

So apparently Mitaka was indeed, under Hux, the one in command of not only recapturing Dameron and Finn, but also the retrieval missions on Jakku, and giving orders — which to me seems quite a step above the responsibilities of a mere Lieutenant and why I hc Mitaka as a Lieutenant Commander, but I digress. It makes sense then why it was specifically Mitaka who was designated to tell Ren about their failure to capture both the droid and the 'fugitives' — though it's also my hc [have lots of those] that Mitaka could have put this on an underling, but chose to face Ren and take the blame personally out of a sense of duty and honor, despite being terrified.

Editing note, because I'm a graphics nerd at heart: the half-tone dots in the close-up are predictably driving me bonkers, but from what I can tell, there's not much that can be done about it other than a time-consuming paint/smudge over, or messing with PS plug-ins [as far as I know -- I'm very new to scanning print]. I tried some descaling and blurring, but of course you can't do much of that without a loss of quality and clarity, and that's something I hate to sacrifice. I'll keep messing with it. Or, if someone has any idea of another source for this picture you would be my savior ! This is the only instance I can find of this image.

Transcript:

Lieutenant Mitaka First Order Officer

Data File Affiliation: First Order Homeworld: Unknown Species: Human Height: 1.8m (5ft 11in) Appearances: VII See Also: First Order TIE pilo; Finn; General Hux; Kylo Ren

Dopheld Mitaka is an attentive young officer serving aboard the First Order flagship Finalizer. A top graduate in his Academy class, Mitaka is not prepared for Kylo Ren's unforgiving command style.

The First Order naval uniform is descended from the sharp, authoritarian styles worn by officers of the Old Empire. The charcoal gray fabric signifies naval service, while the flared breeches and stiff boots help in maintaining a rigid posture. The command cap carries the starburst symbol of the First Order.

Tough Job After failing to recapture the escaped prisoner Poe Dameron and the deserter FN-2187, Mitaka continues to oversee the progress of search teams scouring the desert wastes of Jakku. Mitaka has the unenviable task of updating Kylo Ren on the search after the fugitives flee Jakku aboard the Millennium Falcon.

[Image Caption] Mitaka issues orders on behalf of General Hux to stop the escaping TIE fighter carrying Poe Dameron and FN-2187.

I should have all my bank stuff figured out before the end of the week. The biggest issue is my card was hacked the day before a lot of auto-payments rolled out so I have to pay some late fees. Apparently my bank had a major data breech last month and didn't bother to tell anyone 🙃

My personal discord and business email were hacked. I encrypted everything and set up 2FA on anything I could. Nothing has been breached in about a week now.

Also, I got a better UI system to prevent any cyberstalking until I can afford to get a new phone. I'd noticed my phone was acting strange for about a week or so prior to any databreaches. I was catching things like screenshots being taken and found some unauthorized mirroring apps after digging through my software, so I cleaned out everything.

This blog is also shadowbanned. Might take staff a few weeks to review the ticket. The main issue is I can't access my DMs, so if you need to get in contact with me about commissions, my business email is the best way to get in touch with me.

A test of your reflexes

(Written in response to all those JL members capture Hood fics. As much fun as writing Jason is as a damsel in distress can be and vaguely cathartic/traumatic for all involved, a lot of them diminish his skills and that of the JL itself. So, I just wanna have fun with this.

So set during UtRH-ish but a couple tweaks.)

------------

Batman looked pissed.

To be fair, he always looked stoic or displeased, so it was actually much scarier to see him looking mad.

Wally was so glad he was not on the other side of that and he was allowed snacks as the data was reviewed in the emergency meeting.

And also, it was very much decisively proven that Batman did have the scariest and most capable rogues; how many others had actually gotten onto the Watchtower, in custody, escaped, hacked the Watchtower and then escaped?

There's a reason they had dusted off the Hall of Justice's meeting table and had Cyborg on the line. Along with most others who did have a secure line of communication. A Tele(scope)™ meeting.

With the zeta system having been hacked, it was considered unsafe to use until the entire system had been cleared. So he, Wonder Woman and Superman were in the Hall, looking at screens.

So far, only the team up of Braniac and Lex had done something similar and this one guy had not only done it, but done it solo?

Yeesh, and he thought Dick's beef with Deathstroke the Terminator was scary.

This Hood guy was Batman levels scary.

Wally shivered at that and the thought of, 'is he Batman-level capable as well?'

"With more thorough review, it's been discovered the camera footage on the Watchtower was manipulated," Cyborg stated. "Along with the Zeta system and it's record logs. Electrical consumption records show several extra zetas than are recorded but the log data once you dig into it is beyond salvageable. Discovering which receiving and outgoing zetas were used is going to take time and checking them individually, which will also need to be cleared of potential traps because it-"

"Hood has accomplices." Batman finished. "Accomplices I haven't had evidence for existing prior."

"Are you saying he's been running rings around Gotham's underworld and tugging your cape as a solo act?" Hal asked in derision, leaning over Green Arrow.

"I know he has backing. You don't get that sort of training from just anywhere."

"If I didn't know better, I'd assume he was a Bat," Green Lantern drawled. "Those on the Watchtower saw the domino mask, the confidence and how he moved. That's how the League moves."

"League training alone does not make a League operative."

"Suure. But it really does look like Ra's sent one to distract you in Gotham. And then when captured, he decided to fuck us all, because we still don't know how big of a information breech we're dealing with. Which can now be making it's way to Ra's al Ghul or the black market to be sold."

"To clarify," Wonder Woman interjected. "What evidence do we have that this Hood still maintains ties to Ra's al Ghul? As Batman said, League training alone does not make a League operative or else both he and Green Arrow would count too. None the less, we still need to act as if this Hood does, in order to properly defend ourselves from possible consequences. How much headway has been made on determining the scope of the breach?"

"Between the zetas and the cameras, that's plenty wide enough." Cyborg admitted. "He had access to the gamut and knows how to bury his tracks. As a temporary measure, I'm going to clone and isolate the data from all systems to another device to review at will. In order to restore system access and resume normal operations, everyone will have to re-register for zeta permissions and choose new passwords. But first, I'll be checking out all the zetas in the Watchtower with Martian Manhunter and Superman to ensure they're safe on our end."

Batman got a second call on his line. "Oracle?"

"Batman, we need someone at Arkham's. I'm sending you footage. Right now. Joker's cell from ten minutes ago."

Wally had not seen Batman move that fast in ages. Batman's frown got deeper, as he looked at cameras that they could not see.

"Hood took Joker. And then the Joker disappeared in a camera blank spot and Hood is also at large."

"Oh fuck." Wally cursed.

----

Meanwhile Jason Todd, looked at the bottle in his hand, half full of beer and half full of miniaturized Joker.

And then he shot that with the Phantom Zone Ray Gun. It was just a beer bottle after all. Disgusting contents and all.

Stirring up trouble with the Justice League would mean that he'd have to lay low for a good six months, maybe abandon the identity of Hood and the not so little crime empire he had been building. For a plan of practically impulse, it worked out well. Less so in how he wanted it to go -it wasn't the three of them, he didn't get answers or avenged- but it was something he could do now, so he did it. Because fuck the Joker for his continued breathing. Better for the world that Joker was gone.

Sure, it was good work and necessary work to remove the trash from any society, the worst criminals permanently but what about those big enough to have some notoriety that were also well-deserving of death criminals? Wouldn't that be the greater good done for less effort?

If he was actually going to be dedicated to taking out the worst of humanity, small and easy pickings were small time and petty in comparison. If he was going to take someone out, it had better be someone worth it.

And without the beer. That dulls reflexes.

And living a costume lifestyle meant a constant text of his.

I found my old neopets account that has the original TB (neopet) on it and I'm really hoping so bad it can be retrieved I NEED THIS SO BAD. All my side accounts got fucked by the data breech cuz none of the passwords work for them anymore, but I can't get them reset cuz I don't have access to those emails which is really annoying to me.

last book: Mockingjay lol so I had never read the Hunger Games series previously but with everything going on it felt like an important cultural reference for organizing with younger millennials + gen z

sweet, spicy, or savory: definitely on a sweet tooth kick at the moment but spicy always

last thing i googled: a lot of really fun searches about lead paint encapsulation yayyyy old houses so much fun never any drawbacks whatsoever /s

current obsession: oh, y'know, watching our elected representatives do absolutely fuck all as our government gears up to go full concentration camp on the "illegal" immigrants native to this land and an unelected, ketamine-addicted foreign national and his troupe of incel fanboys breech every data security protocol in existence to squeeze every last cent out of the working class, Sheriff of Nottingham style, to line the pockets of the billionaires who own them

looking forward to: starting seeds for our vegetable garden this spring, surviving in spite of all of the above 😉

mission: impossible severance au. is this anything.

lumon industries slowly slithering their way into government agencies....... after a couple of data breeches, double agents, intel leaks and traitors, why not introduce the IMF agents to a nice, safe severance procedure chip? after all, what is safer than a sworn in secret agent? a secret agent with no way out, no chance to disclose any information. Ever.

DAMN YALL IF I HAD A NICKEL FOR EVERY TIME MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER HAS BEEN LEAKED DUE TO A SOFTWARE DATA BREECH I WOULD HAVE TEN CENTS.

aw fuck the internet archive has been hacked D:

always a good time to check if you've been pwned (haveibeenpwned is a website that aggregates data breeches and allows you to search if your data has been exposed in this manner)

(Secret of the mimic spoilers)

So uh kinda weird baby can change her size in the 4th closet and the mimic one / Fiona (I’m assuming could be 2) has hand units voice right?

ANYWAY.

I was thinking over Fiona (M1) prehaps being glitchtrap and how that relates to the idea of putting a family back together. I think because of books like the storyteller we’ve been assuming M2 is doing basically everything. M1 however has the right motivation and isn’t currently in the physical body (as far as we can tell). It’s not out of the relm if possibility that tehy swapped but it would be weird.

Other theorists have done so much already with the whole putting the aftons back together but the clear evidence is the sticky note room mentioning family the afton family table in that room and whatever’s going on with Vanessa and Gregory being stand ins.

In secret of the mimic it’s M1 who pushes Edwin to make a replacement child. It’s also M1 who tells Edwin to make another if it isn’t working. She’s been shown in this game to not be above pivoting. And fuck is it a stretch to go from make me another David to I wanna be an afton but if she’s glitch trap then the most recent data set is of the aftons. We also know William owns the place she’s at by the time of security breech she would have spent more time around and involved in aftons than Murray. If she is hand unit she even spent some time with baby.

I know most of this is headcannony but I think it’s less of a stretch for an ai trained to be a mother to continue to do that just pivoted due to more data than m2 just getting plugged in and deciding afton is his entire personality especially since we never see him outside of his physical body. Also the mimic staying in a physical body whilst finona being Mrs helpful whilst in ruin M1 being helpie.

Fuck am I glad m1 now has a name so we can stop saying the mimic to refer to two characters.

Anyway I’m gonna go overthink sister location again. Xx

With everything going on I get how this could be getting overlooked but:

HB 2112 in Arizona passed the House on February 12, 2025. This is bad news. This is one of those Mandatory Third Party Age Verification for Adult Content bills.

If you are in Arizona, please contact your representatives, the Committees, and the Chambers and tell them to vote no and shut this down. This is a huge breech of privacy and how this age verification is enacted leaves people vulnerable to identity theft through phishing schemes and data leaks. Letalone the fact that we all know it won't work. Kids are clever. They make fake IDs and steal their parents' or siblings' IDs already. This won't keep kids out, this will only endanger legal adults and their families' livelihoods in a myriad of horrible ways.

Please please don't forget about State Legislative action. Please keep fighting for your right to privacy.
