I honest to fucking God don’t understand how cybersec is so fucking bad that there are so many damn data breaches that I lost count. I had a few accounts on chatgpt (that I dont use anymore) but they are all compromised now…

Just what the fuck is this shit? Are they done by lone actors or cybercrime gang? Or are they state actors or state-backed actors? Or are they inside jobs to allow the company to sell data illegally to make more money? Flock has admitted to using data from data breaches to their system.

You also notice how rarely you hear about cybercriminals getting caught? It’s almost like if you take even a minor bit of opsec you can get away with anything.

    For sure, yeah. When I joined my current company that provides a web service, I was blown away by how much is recorded. DataDog has a feature called RUM & Session Replay and I don’t think people realise that every mouse movement, click, and interaction in general is recorded in enough detail that as a developer I can play back user sessions as if I were watching a screen recording. Mixed with the fact that it also captures as much identifying information as it can, it’s pretty fucking creepy
