I have irrational fear of leaving a port open and getting ourselves hacked, right before exiting I have to do a firewall check every damn time even if what I touched had nothing to do with ports

irrational fear of leaving ports open
 
KDE 6.0 was released plommy! come back!

I'm using it on Linux too pal.

Still have to dual boot with Win10 to use the legal bookies, Pinny, Betano, Scorebet, BetMGM etc etc as they require a geolocation and spyware program that only works with Mac and Windows.
 
You can't run it with the Wine emulator?
Definitely not. It detects its environment, can tell if I'm using an emulator, screen share program, teamviewer, wine, etc, will even block bets if zoom is running.

Its called "playerlocationcheck.exe" and it works well for the bookies.

There is no workaround as far as I know. I prefer using my pc because the apps on the phone are just advertising machines and are actually very clunky. Props to pointsbet, thescorebet, bet365 and betano for their android apps as they all work very well. Others are just too clunky, buggy or slow for me. Caesars, Fanduel, Draftkings etc

 
My Amazon account got hacked into in July.

Received a call from a spoofed local number identifying as Amazon, so I answered.

They asked for me by name - which startled me because the phone scammers in India call randomly and don't know who they are speaking to, initially.

She asked me about my debit card number ending in xxxx, and she had the right info, this startled me as well.
She asks about an iphone I'm buying, blah blah blah.... while shes talking I log in to my Amazon acct and see the phone in my shopping cart. I'm a little freaked out.

Check my email and I see:

amazon hacked



So I immediately hang up the phone and change all my important passwords - gmail, bitwarden, banks, amazon etc and activate 2FA wherever possible.

I still haven't figured out how they got into my account, but they did.

And no, I don't use the same password twice and they are always generated by bitwarden and look like this:

they can get access to the browser localStorage, cookies are stored there in the file system in plain text, all they need is the proper permission

either through a program you installed which is less likely, or a browser extension, if for example the extension has universal access permission to all the websites then they have access to the localStorage of that website

extensions developers are always been hounded with offers to buy their extensions from black hat folks, when a sale happens extension users have no idea the extension change owners, the new owners steal the cookies and log in to your account
