Instead of storing my data in the cloud, I just store it in the bush. It's the same thing, only palette-swapped. More accessible, too.
“We learn different lessons from finishing projects than we do from starting them. Starting teaches us about ideation and initial implementation. Finishing, on the other hand, teaches us about perseverance, attention to detail, and the art of knowing when to let go. These are invaluable skills that can only be honed through the act of completion.”
For those being notified or first learning about the #WIRED #databreach:
On December 25, I broke the story of how I had been contacted in November by "Lovely," who claimed to have discovered a vulnerability. They asked for help getting Condé Nast to respond to them. They claimed they were not seeking any bounty or payment and had only downloaded a few profiles as proof.
They showed me my own data.
Trying to help, I reached out to Condé Nast corporate as well as to a contact at #WIRED.
Condé Nast never responded to me -- or to "Lovely" who eventually showed their true colors as someone trying to extort Condé Nast.
Do they have more data? Yes, it appears they do.
@troyhunt verified the data leak and #HIBP has been notifying its affected subscribers.
