A #Hacker Got All My Texts for


A gaping flaw in #SMS lets hackers take over #phone numbers in minutes by simply paying a company to reroute text #messages.

source: vice.com/en/article/y3g8wb/hac…

I hadn't been SIM swapped, where hackers trick or bribe telecom employees to port a target's phone number to their own SIM card. Instead, the hacker used a service by a company called #Sakari, which helps businesses do SMS marketing and mass messaging, to reroute my messages to him. This overlooked attack vector shows not only how unregulated commercial SMS tools are but also how there are gaping holes in our telecommunications #infrastructure, with a hacker sometimes just having to pinky swear they have the consent of the target.

T-Shirt or pullover/hoodie being prepared, what phrases to use?

I'm about to prepare a T-Shirt or pullover/hoodie with quotes from The Great Dictator movie, from the very "change of heart" speech, #CharlieChaplin gave. Any good phrases to remember people how it is being a human?

Maybe I take one of these, but if you can come up with better once, then please write in the comments:
* We think to much and feel to little.
* We don't want to hate and despise one another.
* Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.

But also this:
* Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Thou ... Any feelings?

#CharlieChaplin
