●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Friday, March 18, 2022 ●● ● Mar 18 [00:10] matey matey: selling their houses to fucking aquaman is a meme. <- thanks [00:10] matey /me isnt cool anymore [00:11] matey never wasm but hey [00:12] *techrights-ipfs-bot (~techrights-ipfs-bot@pumv3cb2rfinu.irc) has joined #techrights [00:12] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 19.73 k/sec., IPFS upstream 91.78 average k/sec., average swarm size 278.33 [00:14] DaemonFC Someone got on Walmart, hacked into some lady's account, and ordered a bunch of shit. [00:15] DaemonFC I called Walmart and asked if there was anything shipping to my address, this was on Tuesday (after some woman from a private number called me and complained that someone was ordering things to my house). [00:15] DaemonFC Walmart told me nothing was coming. [00:15] DaemonFC Yesterday, I got a package, and it was an inflatable pool toy. Today I got a package, and it was a 100 pound TV stand. [00:16] DaemonFC I keep calling to complain. The police won't take a report from me about what's going on. FedEx won't take the item back unless I pay the return shipping. Walmart the store says "Not our problem. Call Walmart.com". Walmart.com says to just keep it or donate it and that the woman who was defrauded will have to work this out with her bank, but they won't pay to have the items returned. [00:17] DaemonFC It's pretty clear that I was never supposed to know this was going on. They figured they'd wait and snatch them off my doorstep and if the police showed up, they'd be here questioning me. [00:18] DaemonFC DaemonFC claims democrat-run cities have failed. I say, if they have failed then why the fuck are people willing to pay $2,500 per month to move there? [00:19] DaemonFC Once they get the green light to work from home, they move to a red state and then their boss goes "Hey, wait a minute! We're paying you a higher salary so you can deal with the bullshit cost of living in Chicago!". [00:19] matey if they have failed then why the fuck are people willing to pay $2,500 per month to move there? <- because aquaman defaulted on the home loan [00:20] DaemonFC "Come back here! How will we support the decision to have an army of middle managers, a $4,000 coffee machine, and office space in the Sears Tower if you're in West Virginia enjoying wide open spaces, no crime, clean air, and low rent?". [00:20] matey loved the video [00:23] matey presumably some parts are undergoing gentrification while others are simply becoming a shithole [00:23] matey daemonfc: if you could live anywhere, where would you go?

[01:07] Snap[$] my mom told me i should had installed ubuntu instead [01:08] Snap[$] this is gona take all night :> [01:08] DaemonFC daemonfc: if you could live anywhere, where would you go? [01:08] DaemonFC Sorry, I went to the police station. [01:08] DaemonFC Had them write out a report on this. [01:09] Snap[$] your full of shit [01:09] DaemonFC I live down the street from them. [01:10] DaemonFC I just wanted to be on the record saying what exactly happened. [01:10] DaemonFC In case anyone files a complaint later, so it doesn't look like all of these packages from Walmart got dumped in here and I never said anything about it. [01:11] DaemonFC I told them that Walmart says they can't take it, Walmart.com told me to keep them or donate them or throw them away and it's between their customer and her bank, about the lady that called me from the private number, and so on. [01:11] Snap[$] how much did you pay? [01:11] DaemonFC Nothing. [01:11] DaemonFC They ordered an inflatable pool toy and a TV stand. [01:12] DaemonFC It's like maybe $160 worth of stuff. [01:12] DaemonFC $150 TV stand and a $10 pool toy. [01:12] Snap[$] so what prevents people just flodding the police with reports? [01:12] DaemonFC Well, if you go down there and talk to them and ask them to give you a report number, they'll take a report. [01:12] DaemonFC But normally they don't take reports over the phone. [01:13] Snap[$] so its just like linux tick system [01:13] Snap[$] ticket [01:13] DaemonFC If they have to, they'll give you a report number. [01:14] DaemonFC It's just that usually people don't want one unless they've suffered an insurable loss. [01:14] DaemonFC Most likely what will happen is she'll file a chargeback with her bank, who will give her the money. [01:14] DaemonFC So she won't care. [01:14] DaemonFC Then the bank will take the money from Walmart. [01:14] DaemonFC So her bank won't care. [01:15] DaemonFC Then Walmart already told me that they locked her account and forced her to secure it. [01:15] DaemonFC I told them they should force everyone onto 2FA in the first place because then you couldn't make your password "password123". [01:15] DaemonFC Shitty e-commerce site. They must not really care about fraud. [01:15] Snap[$] was that your password? [01:16] DaemonFC I don't have a password on my Walmart account. [01:16] DaemonFC They send me a one time code to my phone instead. [01:16] DaemonFC It's like 8 digits and it only works for 1 minute and then it expires. [01:16] Snap[$] so how did you get robed? [01:16] DaemonFC And you have to generate a new one. [01:17] DaemonFC I didn't. [01:17] DaemonFC Someone shipped the package to me with the intent to run off with it. [01:17] Snap[$] but you got the package? [01:17] DaemonFC Yeah. [01:17] DaemonFC What was I supposed to do? Leave it out there so they'd succeed and do it again? [01:18] Snap[$] so how the the rober got your 8 digit code? [01:18] DaemonFC They didn't. [01:18] DaemonFC They got my name and address and put it on her account. [01:18] DaemonFC Then they placed an order with her account and shipped it to me. [01:19] DaemonFC I think Walmart did manage to stop one of the items. [01:19] Snap[$] so she validate the purchase with her 8 digit code? [01:19] DaemonFC Because she told me there were three items. [01:19] DaemonFC I just don't remember what the next one is supposed to be. [01:19] DaemonFC Snap[$], Probably she uses an iPhone and couldn't spell 2FA. [01:20] DaemonFC That is how The Fappening happened. [01:20] Snap[$] so iphones are less secure? [01:20] DaemonFC They have a really shitty security mechanism. [01:20] DaemonFC The only software allowed to run is from the App Store. [01:21] DaemonFC Yet, Apple doesn't have a human read the source code. [01:21] DaemonFC So malware has made it into the App Store, and there is no defense-in-depth. [01:21] DaemonFC So once it gets on the phone somehow (security hole or App Store) it can do whatever it wants on the phone. [01:21] Snap[$] they have access to the source code? [01:22] DaemonFC Usually. They run a binary through an automated system that sees if it does anything suspicious and flags it for further review. [01:23] Snap[$] so they dont [01:23] DaemonFC If it gets stuck in further review, often the developer doesn't hear anything from Apple for months. [01:23] DaemonFC Then it either gets accepted or rejected. [01:23] DaemonFC They do, but they don't want to allocate manpower to inspecting source code. [01:23] DaemonFC So unless their smoke testing uncovers something suspicious, they usually look no further into it. [01:24] DaemonFC Which makes it easy to slip in dormant code that does nothing while it's being tested, and then activates later, after it's in the store. [01:26] Snap[$] friday 13? [01:26] DaemonFC Epic really embarrassed Apple with that. [01:27] DaemonFC They not only sneaked in dormant code that Apple missed, it was an entire competing payment system. [01:28] DaemonFC The Play Store on Android is the official store, has had a lot of malware incidents, including banking trojans. [01:28] DaemonFC F-Droid is operated by volunteers, open source software only. I'm not aware of any malware making it in. It also has reproducible builds.
