Oh, OK, I've never noticed that, thanks. Sounds logical, there is probably much more societal stigma in the corporate office world.

I don't get it, can someone explain?

The entire service didn’t feel very reliable from the start. And look what happened.

It’s a nice thought but if everyone were to manage their own email server (and other things) we would have SO much more security problems in general.

That’s oversimplifying it quite a lot. Many tech-educated users, developers, IT experts etc use MacOS/iOS. And many users of Android or other OSes have no idea what they are doing. All the large operating systems today are too wide to have a one demographic, they cover it all.

Thanks for the links. I wasn’t aware of those, it sounds like PlayStore level of crapware in those cases, although you have to be REALLY dumb to be fooled by such obvious ones. But if you’re a very technically challenged person I am sure it is possible.

But the case with the LastPass clone is definitely much more malicious.

I am surprised this happened, it’s the first case of anything like this that I have heard of. Do you know of any other cases?

Those aren't available to register anymore though, are they?

I don't use any service that requires a phone number, which even does that anymore? I guess Facebook, Instagram, Twitter? That's surely just to track you. It is very easy to spoof a mobile number, the regular old confirm security code per email works just as well. Or just do email register + 2fa with an authenticator app or passkey.

There are better ways to confirm someone is a human. If they would not just want to gather personal user data instead, which apparently is the case.

I am not sure why you would even ask such a question, I wonder what kind of bubble you live in where this is even questioned? That is horrible in itself, and a horrible thing for the victims to have people question rape, sexual abuse and murder. This is the side you want to stand on?

If you are just ignorant and have never heard of it, I suggest reading the news from the latest 4 months, there are PLENTY of eye witness accounts from survivors or the terror attacks.

Maybe this will help you as well (NSFL with images and videos of raped and murdered women and men): https://www.thisishamas.com

Please get a grip of yourself and stop shaming yourself and others.

Excellent to-the-point comment!
