Hack alert
May. 26th, 2020 02:45 amSo, Livejournal has had a truly massive password breach, from 2014. If you had a livejournal before that, it is now possible to obtain a file that has all the passwords, in plaintext, with the usernames and emails they are associated with. More information at Squirrelitude's excellent post.

As far as you know, I only have one dreamwidth. It does, after all, make the difference between access and reading so much better.
But it's nice to know that the option could be there again.

MOOP!
PostScript: Consider this to be me explicitly revoking consent for you to intentionally go and try and find any of my journals or identities using this breach. Do not do that, I will not think better of you if I find out, and if you feel inclined to do something like that, I can find better friends to spend time on.
1: Which I'm not telling you because it was also the secret hack to finding "all" of someone else's journals, and that's that person's business.
2: Do you know the name of the only voice channel on my Discord server? Of course you don't! It's set with permissions such that I am the only person allowed in there! Why? Because I am crazy3, and the ways in which I manage that are sometimes very strange.
3: I use this non-pejoratively, but it is the correct word. Sometimes my brain works very very poorly, or oddly, and I am driven to do things that likely don't make sense to anyone else, but I can feel some sense of ritual around them that makes it work for me. Anyways, it's named for the place I go when I cry during bells, and that's enough said about that.
4: Melody, my new little machine, has version 4.0 sitting on her desktop, just quietly available should I need it. Keladry was 3.0, Vera was 2.1, Seren was 2.0, and Dmitri Alexander II had the first BehindtheWalls file, started in February of 2005 because things were _much_ and even if I wasn't posting in my journal, I still needed to write.
...holy fuck, I've been using the term "Behind the Walls" for literally half my life now. Dang. That is...a lot.
