#being hacked sucks

[nazmazh]

So, the thing I don't get is "Why delete the tumblr?"

As far as I can tell, the hacker only was able to gain access here, out of all my accounts.

And, like, sucks for them because this was utterly worthless in terms of like, actual monetary value, or access to financials. (ProTip y'all, don't plaster your credit card numbers all over your tumblr posts, I guess).

So, like... Why delete it? That clearly meant some effort to navigate in and do it, right?

And to have done it without setting off notifications, must've meant some way of switching the account over to some other email and/or bypassing the "Hey is this you?" check-in email that gets sent out before letting you do anything.

Like, I'd've understood if they, like, hijacked it, wiped it, and turned it into a shitty bought hawking sunglasses, sketchy drugs, or porn.

Or hell, keep it as a potential backdoor into other accounts.

I wouldn't be any happier about that. But I would have at least followed the logic.

(I suppose that might have meant a slimmer chance to recover something - follower/following lists, maybe).

So why just delete it then?

Spite?

General dickishness?

And like, clearly they were aware of accounts not just linked to any one singular email I register to things with and trying to gain access to stuff tied to different accounts.

So I guess the next part of that is were they following around my username or something?

I guess there's enough "use as backup" between my emails that they might have known to try for multiple things.

At any rate - New, better passwords everywhere and 2-Factor Authentication everywhere that has it.

Hopefully nothing more comes of this. And hopefully I remember people who I was following and people who were following me find their way back.

Ok, so. It's come to my attention that there's a new scam/hacking issue going on, and since there's not a whole lot I could do to help resolve it myself, I just wanted to make a post about it to make sure that everyone's informed

On one of my other blogs, I was looking through my notifications. There was an ask that was supposedly sent to me by @/nyanchio, but when I clicked on it, it turned anonymous

This is the ask

I sent nyanchio a message and asked them what the deal was, because it confused me. They told me that they were hacked, and these sorts of messages are going out to random people now

They are NOT actively doing this themselves. If you receive an ask like the one above from them, from an anon, or from anyone else, just delete it. DO NOT click the link, or else you may get hacked as well

Edit: adding this bit to clarify that from nyanchio's end of things, the issue has been resolved. There shouldn't be anymore of these asks sent from their account, but that doesn't mean that someone else's account can't start sending them next. The internet is an amazing place sometimes, but it can also be super risky and even potentially dangerous, so if you're sent a link by someone you don't know, NEVER click on it

I think a big part of why I want to get into clothes making is because I want to have on-demand modest clothing and on-demand kippot. I feel like a genius, the universe is in my brain rn

Hot take? Maybe? A lot of things that people call men gross for are actually just normal things but women are being held to a higher standard so they get mad about the unfairness of it. Like farting? Normal bodily function. Spitting on the ground outside? Bitch I don't want phlegm stuck in my throat I'm not gonna swallow it. Peeing in the shower? It's literally a shower you are actively cleaning yourself as you go (peeing in the bathtub is a different story, I don't wanna marinate in piss). Like I'm sorry but these are literally just normal human things to do and I'm sorry that you're being held to an arbitrary inhuman standard but holding other people to the same standard is not the solution here.

how to live with the guilt of helping to launch a dogshit digital product for the most annoying and difficult users ever when i was an intern and doing my best except my best was a complete failure and at the same time live with the fact that this was not entirely my fault because literally no one told me things would go wrong and now i have to review the complete failure it was in an empty attempt to remodel the product without being able to fully adress the systemic problems that doom the user experience from the start <3 google search

Have you ever worked with rude actors? You don't have to name names, I'm just curious!

Nah, and honestly a lot of what people label as "rude actor behavior" is taken way out of context.

In my experience, it's often the assistants or managers who are going OTT, but the celebs themselves are really chill.

You have to remember, like, maybe it's cool for you on the crew to see them, but this is their job. They probably have a dozen things to do today, are stressed, are dieting, still have workouts to do- so yeah. Sometimes they'll snap if someone on the crew is fucking up. Not like, reasonable errors, but usually incompetence or trying to be territorial to look important on the crew (puffing up, as we say).

If you're doing your job and keeping things moving, showing you respect their time, they relax visibly. If you can get them out EARLY? That's a big plus. If you can get them done early, that's often when they offer the crew autographs and photos.

The only 2 people I have ever had to work with who were arrogant dicks, they were incredibly minor celebrities who clearly thought too highly of themselves.

And frankly, if you're like that, word gets around, and crews aren't so willing to work with you. You stay minor forever.

Celebrity shoots can be stressful because everyone is anxious, but seriously, remember, they do this for a living. They understand how hard crews work and they know accidents happen. And if a celebrity comes in in a bad mood, just focus on your work and create an atmosphere that let's them know you and your team respect their time and want to help get them wrapped quickly. They chill out very fast.

Everyone likes to feel respected as humans. Do that and most problems are fixed.

Y’know if Guilty Gear, for whatever reason, decided to suddenly change genres (again), I wouldn’t mind seeing the series take a stab at being a Hack n Slash.

And I mean a proper hack n slash not that RTS/MOBA bullshit we got in Overture.
