Bob K Mertz :distressedUS:<p>It has come to my attention that sending Mastodon links via text message are being filtered by either T-Mobile or Verizon.... Specifically, at least in this case, links to infosec.exchange ... I shared something with my family in a group SMS last night and no one received it. Today I'm with members of my family and have confirmed that any message with a infosec.exchange link does not go through but all messages without the link do - this involves messages of JUST the URL and ones with text and the URL. I also tried SMS to just my nephew with the URL and it disappeared into the void as well.</p><p>I use T-Mobile and the entirety of my family uses Verizon. I have not been able to test to another T-Mobile customer as of yet.

@ooguz Build a tool to circumvent censorship during protests over legacy comm's such as #SMS, #lora, #radio and Dial-up. He published software today. So if anyone want to help him develop this idea further please give him a hand. Dialup used to be a backbone service for many protests since 2010 in east and making it more accessible is valuable.

There is a small list of Master System games that can't be played on the Power Base Converter using a Mega Drive controller due to slight differences in how the Mega Drive control pads operate. 🎮
In these cases a Mega Drive controller causes the wrong set of inputs to be selected and prevent the input from working properly. 🔀

One of these games is Wonder Boy in Monster Land...

Ça faisait longtemps que j'utilisais #SilenceIM pour lire/envoyer des #SMS sur #Android, alors que l'application n'est plus mise à jour depuis des années (avec des trucs amusants comme la copie intégrale des messages quand quelqu'un met une réaction émoji dessus 😁) et que le nombre de personnes avec qui j'ai échangé des SMS chiffrés se comptent sur les doigts d'une main. Maintenant, les notifications ne fonctionnent plus donc je cherche une alternative #logicielLibre #viePrivée, si possible avec #chiffrement.
J'ai vu #FossifySMS, #QUIK et #DekuSMS (tous sur #Fdroid).
Vous avez des #conseils / #suggestions pour m'aider ?

»Swiss Life – 60 Schweizer Pensionskassen von Hackerangriff betroffen:
Tausende Kundinnen und Kunden des Finanzkonzerns Swiss Life sind Leidtragende eines Datendiebstahls bei einem technischen Partner. Der Schaden hält sich laut Unternehmen in Grenzen.«

Nein, 2FA ist nicht per-se sicherer und schon gar nicht per SMS. Aktuell ist schon etwas länger TOTP, doch dies kennt anscheinend immer noch fast niemensch.

Die #Telekom:

"eine gute Nachricht für unsere SMS-Nutzer! Um Sie besser vor missbräuch­lichen SMS-Nachrichten zu schützen, erweitern wir das Schutzsystem in unserem Mobilfunknetz.

Ab dem 1. April 2025 können wir SMS mit missbräuchlichen Inhalten blockieren oder mit Warnhinweis versehen, wenn diese eine Gefahr darstellen.

Dies erfolgt automatisch, Sie müssen nichts weiter tun."

Sind die bekloppt??? Meine #SMS 1. scannen und 2. einfach verschlucken? Kann ich das bitte selbst entscheiden? 😡

Gestern flatterte ein Brief ins Haus von einer dubiosen Firma, die sich als neuer Zahlungsdienstleister für die #Kreditkarte meine Frau ausgibt und will, dass wir irgendeine App runterladen und da sensible Daten eingeben.
Alle Alarmglocken an, erstmal recherchiert.

Ergebnis: Die Dienstleister der #Sparkasse sind tatsächlich unter dem Namen #qards fusioniert (@sparfindig hatte berichtet) und müssen aufgrund der neuen dritten Payment Service Directive #PSD3 (#EURichtlinie) u.a. sowas wie #ZweiFaktorAuth für #onlineShopping implementieren.
Weil wir die Kreditkarte selten nutzen und die Gattin nicht noch eine supersichere App (S-ID-App #SIDApp) installieren will, bekommt sie jetzt halt für 10ct ne #mTAN per #SMS aufs Handy.
Und das, obwohl das mTAN-Verfahren wohl schon mehrfach gehackt wurde. Wenn ich's richtig verstanden habe, waren dabei aber immer Trojaner auf Rechner und Handy im Spiel und die Betroffenen hatten keine Alarmglocken eingebaut, als sie ihre Daten fröhlich in irgendwelche Masken eingaben.

Das ist ein umfangreiches Referat, fast schon eine Hausarbeit, und ich kriege nicht mal ne gute Note dafür. Wäre schade, wenn das kurzzeitig agglomerierte Wissen einfach so abgehakt und vergessen würde. Also trööte ich es einfach hier hinein in der Hoffnung, dass es jemand nützt.
