I had that happen too. Old account, terrible password, etc. Turns out I had a bunch of random people followed and some posts from my account, in what I assumed to be Hindi text. I have since changed the password and found a Chrome app that mass unfollows people.

The whole email is just wrong though..... first rule of not being caught in a phishing attempt is to avoid using links included in the email and to find your way to the website yourself to see if there's an admin message on your account (there wasn't one in this case) and/or reset your password from there.

The fact that it specifically says "how do I know this email is legit" is even more laughable. What would they expect a phishing attempt to say?

I dunno.... I'm inclined to believe it was legit, but if it is, they need to take a page from secure financial websites and adopt a policy that states they'll never under any circumstances include a link to account information in an email.
 
Yeah well..it is Twitter we're talking about here. You and I both know most people will click on those links whether they're supposed to be there or not. At the very least getting the common public looking for what they mention (HTTPS and padlock) is better than nothing.

Yeah, but the padlock folks see is the one for the website they're viewing the email from, not the destination.... ;)

I just wish the folks "in charge" of social media websites/apps would take their role(s) as subject matter experts a lot more seriously and not only use "best practices", but also go out of their way to inform/educate their users.

On another note.... quick snippets around the 'net suggest that the most recent round of dDOS attacks were being run off of IoT devices. I'd say we should let ISPs sue the manufacturers of IoT devices for costs relating to securing their networks against these attacks unless the manufacturers can demonstrate that they've taken substantial steps towards fixing security holes when they appear.
 
Sorting through my electronic music collection to actually be able to do more gigging this winter. Wanted to be able to play just about any style and be able to pull an hour or two out of my ass if needed on the decks without issue.

So far have 5500+ tracks in MP3, WAV and AIFF, and a couple hundred in FLAC that I have to transcode before I even start vetting them to see if they are even worth sorting...

This will take some major doing. Yikes.
 
Wow, Newegg's restocking fee. Bought the 6TB Toshiba X300, few days later a much cheaper 6TB as a daily deal pops up so I thought "I'll return the toshiba, it's unopened, unused, etc". File in the RMA and notice there's a $42 restocking fee which doesn't include original handling. What the hell. That's fecking expensive.

Almost tempted to keep both drives. Either way they're making good coin on me. Lesson learned on returning items to them I guess.
 
I had it before, but I buy so little kit at the moment I didn't hang onto it. Usually I prefer to buy local at MemEx, but have been on the road a ton this year.

Not sure if I'll venture back into premiere, or just stick with MemEx in the future.

Yeah, $900 is a bit much for a phone.

Honestly when I saw the price I thought why wouldn't I just get a Note 7 for basically the same cost? I mean it sure appears to be better than the Pixel XL, well exploding batteries aside.

At least that is my thoughts. And again, no microSD = no buy from me.
