update: got the cool handle

@MellowOnline1 Great tweet, did ChatGPT write it for you?

Update: An update suggests that the alleged Steam data breach is not a direct breach of Steam itself, but rather a supply chain compromise — meaning an external service that Steam relies on was targeted. Here's what we understand from this update: New evidence confirms some real data is involved: A sample of the leaked data includes real-time SMS logs, which are used in two-factor authentication (2FA). Twilio is the vendor named: Twilio is a company that provides communication services, like sending 2FA codes via SMS. Steam uses (or used) Twilio for this. Leaked info includes: Message contents (e.g., the 2FA codes) Delivery status (e.g., sent, delivered, failed) Metadata (timestamps, recipient numbers, etc.) Routing costs (how much it costs to send each message) The implication means that the alleged Mipped seller has backend access to Twilio: The nature of the data suggests the attackers had access to Twilio's systems, likely through a compromised Twilio user account or API key or direct access to Twilio's backend dashboard. Not a direct hack of Steam itself: Steam’s internal servers or databases don’t appear to be breached. But because they rely on Twilio for sending 2FA codes, this affects their users too. Why it’s dangerous: Phishing: Hackers could use the info to send fake but convincing messages to users. Session hijacking: If attackers can intercept or replay 2FA codes, they might bypass login protection.

Yesterday, an alleged major @Steam data breach occurred, compromising over 89 million user records (roughly two-thirds of all Steam accounts). These datasets are being sold for over $5,000 on what appears to be a site akin to Mipped. Mipped alongside their sister sites is a forum site we at @SteamSentinels have warned Steam about for years for instances of developer blackmailing, review manipulation, greenlight boosting, and other dodgy activities, but as of yet, Steam hasn't tried to take action against the site. techraptor.net/gaming/news/sh… steamcommunity.com/groups/Sentine… This inaction has ultimately led to the selling of tens of millions of user account details. ✅ Enable two-factor authentication ✅ Monitor your email for suspicious activity ✅ Change your Steam password (and others, if reused) ✅ Beware of phishing attempts disguised as game promotions or support messages ✅ Join Sentinels of the Store to stay in the know! steamcommunity.com/groups/Sentine… linkedin.com/posts/underdar…

logged on here for the first time in weeks and my DMs look like this lmao why are you guys still here? just to suffer? you know where to find me.

I’m telling y’all! Time to make the jump

@Melvin_TheAlk whoops I didn't see this because I'd already moved over lol

ughh I see this new "feature change" of the blocking system... I don't want to switch though it's such a hassle and not enough people will migrate Can we all just go there now? Let me know if you did, if this has enough responses I'll go to BlueSky as well

@itsVuto You can set a custom domain as your handle, and I own the asph.me domain

@Aspharon how did u get that .me instead whatever it normally is

update: got the cool handle

@Kipo_Beepo hi im asph

ok everyone give me ur bluesky stuff

@Quote_Cannon Now that's a title I can get behind

@Aspharon JOIN ME IN MY EXODUS, OH FLOOFY ONE

okay I found a tweetdeck alternative for the other place this might actually be the thing that makes me leave twitter

I'm also in the other place, like everyone else. Link is in my linktree, I'm just 'asph' over there. But honestly I'd much prefer you'd follow me on tumblr instead, it's a nice place and I'm actually active there. I enjoy it much more than any other social media place.

With your incredible support, I am overjoyed to announce that not only will I be able to run Supper Mario Broth full time, but I will be able to also invest into material and equipment for more and better Mario content. Thank you all so much. You have saved my life. I love you.

anyhow I'm very normal about the latest episode of Agatha <-- lying Go watch it if you have any interest in Marvel whatsoever it's so much better than I thought it'd be

It's so refreshing to see a male character that just happens to gay, I feel it's so rare unless it's the entire subject of the show (Love, Simon, Heartstopper, etc.)

okay seeing actual mlm representation in a show hit me a little harder than I though whoops

@HeckinFox That's where I come in, I want to teach a simulated brain to identify that my shoe is in fact really a shoe, I don't wanna do math

This is where I start to really regret my choice of studying computer science... I wanna solve mathematical problems not bitch about how I just taught a simulated brain to identify that my shoe is in fact really a shoe...

I have to train an entire fucking neural network for my homework, wtf And it's not even working because some python dependency fails to install no matter what I try aaaaaaa

@mentallyunmabel What the fuck???

what the fuck????

@Shayy_TV It's missing "Undertale Yellow is Amazing, And Here's Why"

@TheAbsol This is why I appreciate you so much Matt, always keeping it real

For full transparency, I must come clean and say that I drove here today. It would weigh on my conscience forever if you celebrated me walking to Burger King on a day that I did not fully complete the full trek.

🚶‍♂️

@TheAbsol [LOUD CHEERING]

@Melvin_Dookbutt @Melvin_TheAlk Melvin 😭😭😭

Look at these pictures and tell me they're NOT the same
