Hackergate thread 6 - PLEASE READ

Well whoever Simon is, he's the one who posted here. I got a pm from him and he used same remark in my pm as he did in one tweet

wizard If you block an account it has a reciprocal effect, so that you don't see their tweets and in the normal course of things they should stop seeing yours. But it's not an effective way of protecting Twitter posts from being read by specific individuals. It's really easy to view posts from any public account even if they have blocked you.

Librariesgaveus -love your post down thread about the police. That is the reality of the situation. They ARE human beings and deal with extremely traumatic incidents for which they get NO debriefing.

doesn't blocking an account only stop them from tweeting you or you seeing what they tweet but not them from seeing what you tweet?

spam That's Simon. He made a joke about MNHQ favouriting his tweet and helpfully posted that blocking his account doesn't stop him from seeing tweets.

Jeffrey posted rude insults and swat attacks. His account has been suspended.

i've not played FFXIV never got round to it, ended up not having time for gaming of late with my course. ive got over a hundred games on steam ive yet to get through so eventually, maybe in holiday time ill get round to some of them. like i said, i only really go back to wow when they offer me free game time, you can do a lot in 7 days if you really put your mind to it and some of the quests are seriously easy and repetitive but the ding is always nice when you get it

Especially for Libraries

Which one is which?

I can only find one twitter account. it's the seg_w one. Is that Jeffrey or Simon?

FFXIV is much better than WoW imo.

Nooks = noobs

Stupid autocorrect

'leet' (elite) haxors (hackers) basically.

It's only Leet, LibrariesGaveUsPOwer.

keks been doing the rounds since wow came about almost i think, years and years now. been a while since i saw it outside of wow though to be truthful, wow is fast losing it's hold on the mmorpg market, lots of other things have either taken over or as some reckon, the market for it is dying out. i go back to it every now and again when they offer me free game time or im having a particularly bad flare and get stuck in bed for ages

"It seems us nooks have been ultra owned by the elite hackers lol lol lol all the lols"

1337 = elite. I had to go back a few pages to get that.

Yeah, didn't quite get the 1337 h4x0r5 bit...kek is the WoW equivalent of lol apparently.

Seems US noobs have been uber pawned by xxx hackers lol?

I have only the vaguest idea what that means. If I squint.

SFAIAA you only get https security on a log in page for here.

uh oh, s33m5 u5 n00bz h4v3 b33n ub3r pwnd by 1337 h4x0r5. kek kek kek

keking all over the world

I am not jeffers, simon or donald but i have been around the chatrooms and i have played sometimes still play WoW

Seriously FFS The only secure part of the site is the actual login page.

When I tap on 'mumsnet.com' on the bar above I get this:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2455493-Hackergate-thread-6-PLEASE-READ
No https and no padlock- is it not secure- I'm on iPhone and ios7 I think.

Can I be a dodo and ask how I can tell if I am looking at an https site from my mobile (not the app, on safari on an iPhone). When I tap in the address bar it only shows www. etc as the address. Thank you

Has any major news website written about this? Seems worthy of news and also of a decent critique from a good comment journo.
It's terror and disdain of a woman only space.

I thought that the lack of news this time was on purpose not to feed the troll, as such.

I know this is a bit far-reaching but there's been a fair few of these type of things lately - the Pentagon was hacked into in late July and info was stolen, apparently they had to deal with DDOS too , Ashley Madison (blackmail??) and Mumsnet. I don't think people should underestimate the power that some might attribute to the value of ordinary people from all over the place being able to talk to each other and gather information. I really think that's what is under attack here - the pissed off Dad thing is just a ruse.
