Security breaches arent about reading your email breh. Noone in their right mind sends sensitive information over email. Most companies will email you a ling to their system for you to enter credentials and get sensitive information.

What hackers are looking for is your password. Sooo many people use the same username/password combination for different sites because it's hard to remember 43 different passwords. Once they have that they can easily get at your shyt on other servers if it exists.

But they're also gonna read sooooooo much spaaaaaaaaam!!! :damn:

Yea I know so many people who use the same passwords for all their accounts, I use all different passwords I have them all written done, it just sucks because I cant remember them all so I just can only log into stuff when Im at home
I use keeper to save my usernames/passwords but even there i dont type inthe actual username and passwords. I just type in obvious hints that only I would know.

And most of my important passwords are sentences different languages just to keep these hackers working overtime :pachaha:
My home wifi network password for example is a short sentence in kreyol. 23 characters long. Good luck guessing it

I heard yesterday that they're charging $100 to reactivate the emails or is that a scam connected to the hack? Had a coworker tell me he was trying to retrieve old emails going back years and was frustrated trying to figure out what to do once he couldn't get in anymore.:pachaha:

Unless you're using accents and punctuation, it's no different that just having a couple common words in a 23 character string.

Example: eseyeD3v!neMoDePassaa

It says eseye devine mo de pas saw
I removed the spaces, replaced one of the es with a 3 and the i with an !

When translated in english it means "try to guess this password"

Sh!t been in there for years and has sucked for years :laff:

Thing about translating from other languages with these softwares is this: They translate WORD-FOR-WORD.

When you are translating a sentence you need to translate the expression, what it means... not each word at a time.

My ex girl is from Guyana. She'd be trying to talk shyt to me in Kreyol and uses google-translate to do it. 80% of the time that sh!t makes absolutely NO sense.
Same thing at my job. We have a customer who opens tickets in english by using google to translate what he meant to say. Makes zero sense most of the time
