Earth 1 is a terrible aplha version.
Earth 2 is even worse.
We need earth 3How many times can they make use of the same set of data? Aren’t we all just leaked 50 times over by now?
Just think of all the countries and companies that grab this data, group by email address, then start to identify preferences of people around the world. Its not just for identity theft. The possibilities are endless! And horrifying.
That was the crypto scam right?
It seems like it, all of the prices are in dollars so it confused me for a second but that’s probably because nobody understands how much 0.0…0X of a Bitcoin actually is.
Glad I live on Earth 1.
Hmm, well Earth 1 has had way more data breaches than Earth 2.
Is Earth 2 a dlc?
Second movie already? the first one didn’t even finish airing.
Only usernames and email addresses were taken so nothing particularly valuable although if you’re subscribed to Earth 2 you’re probably a bit gullible, so maybe it is worth having a list of known idiots email addresses.
People commonly reuse the same usernames and passwords with an associated email. All that must be done is check breach data for matching email and username and then try the password from the list. You’ll likely find more than a few will be a match
You are correct that people commonly reuse passwords. People are stupid after all. But in this case passwords weren’t taken because they were encrypted, so all they’ve got is user names and email addresses.
From the sounds of it, the database was actually pretty secure the problem was the interface between the database and the website wasn’t. Good news is because the database was secure not a lot of sensitive information has been leaked.
Oh yeah, that list is going to be an absolute goldmine for scammers.
And honestly, if crypto people had any self reflection at all, the fact that being overtly a crypto person makes scammers flock to them, because they have hard data showing, statistically, how gullible they are should really make them reconsider being crypto people.
Crypto is a revolutionary product because it enables users to possess their own units of account. With great freedom, comes great security concerns. Keep in mind, the vast majority of scams are still conducted with fiat currency. Blaming ignorant crypto users does not overshadow the value digital assets provide to humanity. These benefits include: protection from fiat debasement, the ability to transact without intermediaries, global accessibility, privacy, and transparency. We’re using the fediverse for fucks sake, so some of these features ought to be seen positively by many of us. You’re absolutely right that greedy and gullible are drawn to crypto because “line goes up.” There will always be a learning curve for new technology and hard lessons will be taught to early adopters.
Every single time anyone mentions crypto always some idiot comes out of the woodwork and starts to have an argument about the definition of fiat.
So let’s just say this right now and then move on shall we, If it’s currency it’s fiat, therefore crypto is also fiat
Fiat is government-issued currency with no underlying commodity and no upper limit. Crypto has no government backing and its issuance is determined by each cryptocurrency system (maintained by miner consensus). Some crypto has upper limits and others do not. I think having no supply limit is the distinction you’re trying to define as fiat.
Wasn’t that show cancelled?
After just one season, too. Damn shame. Tim Curry was amazing.
I loved that show. Some famous actors in this show are Clancy Brown, Terry O’Quinn, Tim Curry, Antonio Sabato Jr. I wish it wasn’t cancelled.
Shit, I didn’t get the update to Earth 2!
And they said there was no Planet B
This is like normal Earth except more crypto. So it’s more like Earth Z
Or earth F if you put it on a tier list
