Good idea with the new thread. And thanks for the update. I want to hear about the Fedi drama. What happened?
New thread nostr:npub1ue4z8d9z7de6pvlx22jgzmc4hamn43rg95gsdhkenvenvm0ma62qjpv4eh to avoid that stupid bot. Anyway, not much on nostr I don’t think except there’s some new clients and stuff. Damus had to remove zaps on the App Store because it breached their tos or something, ppl were mad about that and it even got a bit of media attention. There was some p big fedi drama tho lol.
Discussion
The short version is that someone hacked poast and baest and leaked all of their DMs so that caused some serious drama lol.
Wow. That sounds major.
It was p crazy, ppl went through it and found some funny stuff. I think other stuff was leaked too, not totally sure.
Is this something that was easy to hack or was the hacker really good?
Leaked DMs would be my nightmare. I don’t use DMs on here.
I’m not sure tbh, it seemed clever but I don’t fully understand what happened.
Nostr has encrypted DMs so that can’t really happen here. But there are new extensions like nos2x so clients can’t hypothetically steal your nsec.
Oh yeah. Encrypted DMs. You’re right. I’m glad I came back. My brain was starting to get rusty.
It was as sophisticated as it needed to be. The collective that did it have hit stronger targets in the past. They were aided by pleroma being fairly insecure. If the vulnerability they used had been patched they would have found something else.
Interesting. So they’re a known collective?
