inTried two-factor auth via SMS vs an authenticator app and one got my account compromised in 48 hours
Man that SMS stuff is scary. I actually had a buddy of mine, he's a mechanic, and he kept getting these weird texts that looked like they were from his bank. He ignored them then a month later I'm helping him move a couch and he finds out someone tried to buy a plane ticket to Ghana with his PayPal. The SIM swap thing is real. He never lost his phone either, they just called his carrier and tricked them into porting his number. Took him like three weeks to get his number back from the scammer. That Nigerian login you saw was probably them testing the waters before they did something bigger.

Worst I ever saw was someone who thought the robber moved every turn. Total chaos.

inShowerthought: Dubbed vs Subbed debate at my anime club got WAY out of hand
honestly though i think the dub is actually better for cowboy bebop. steve blum's spike just has this effortless cool that the japanese va doesn't quite nail, and I've watched both.

inCan we talk about how long it took me to fix a simple phishing filter
Man I read a similar story on a sysadmin subreddit the other day about someone who spent a WEEK hunting down a phantom email issue only to find out it was some "temporary" forwarding rule their manager set up two years ago and forgot about. That custom whitelist thing you found is EXACTLY the kind of nonsense that makes IT work feel like hunting ghosts. I had a buddy who found a hidden exception in their spam filter from a vendor install that basically gave a free pass to anything with "invoice" in the subject. 72 hours is brutal but at least you found it, the guy in that subreddit almost got fired before he stumbled on the forwarding rule.
