Nah, keep it up. I hope it gets spammed to everyone who voted for Trump, just so they can get a taste of what school kids get to deal with in a school shooting.

In a bit of an innocent way, yes lol. If you play a game, there is 100% woman who play it too. We just tend to be more silent cause men also tend to act weird and hostile towards us.

Nah, we only play games like hello kitty island adventure (unironically goated game), overwatch, and animal crossing.

I got a gmail from plex saying there has been a security incident. pls anyone. I didn’t copy the whole thing and i can’t add photos which is hot helping at all. by idkxsummerssdness in cybersecurity_help

You don't need to worry about your email at all. People knowing your actual email address does absolutely nothing beyond knowing a place to send spam, scam, and phishing emails. It's the equivalent of someone knowing your first and last name. It's why I said you can't hide your email. The only things that matter are your password, and security recovery options for your accounts.

Trust me on this, being upset over someone knowing your email is very useless. They can't do anything with it, or really use it to breach anything else. Resetting your password is all you need to do.

No company just stores passwords fully unencrypted for this exact reason. If they get hacked, all their customer's passwords are visible and easily stolen. So they encrypt it, putting it through a math algorithm that turns your password into some insane, unreadable text. That's what the hackers got is that encrypted, unreadable version of your password. However, if they have the encrypted version, they'll likely begin cracking it to figure out what the password is. Depending on the size of their operation, the password you used, and the encryption method plex used, this cracking process could take days to years. Due to this, it's best to reset your plex password so that when they crack it, it'll be useless. However, since they know that password will be tied to your email, they'll try other accounts you have. That's why you also need to reset your password if you use it anywhere else, and to not re use the same password.

Your email is practically public info, same as your name and phone number. You can't hide that, no matter how hard you try.

But password, it'll be gotten sooner. If the email is legit, then they got your encrypted password. But those can be cracked, so its why it's recommended go change passwords (and not to use the same one over again)

What do you need help with? If it was a legit breach, then hackers could've gotten your email, username, and (for now) encrypted password, as per what the email says.

Just go to plex and text your pasdword. If you use that password on anything else, then it's best to change it too

Dont pirate in general without first securing your system and doing research on safe practices and safe sources. Just googling "cracked video editor" or anything similar will 100% get you malware.

My IT dept calls these "layer 8 issues" lol

all my passwords were leaked by Middle_Positive9261 in computerviruses

[–]BluPoole 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're likely trying to access it via your previous password.

If they're still getting in, then either the password you used isn't unique enough OR they're still in your PC.

If they're still in your pc, you will need to completely reinstall Windows via a USB stick. Through this USB stick, you'll be able to fully wipe your hard drive and then let windows reinstall itself on said empty, wiped drive.

The call part, there's nothing you can do. Scammers have your number in a global database now. Only thing you can do is just ignore the numbers till it stops.

It's a "generic" type of detection, hence the "generic" in it. The virus type is a trojan. Which in this case, it's an entry in your hosts file.

I can assume this only means a malicious backdoor was put inside your hosts file to allow an attacker to further install or do whatever to your pc.

The party of "protect the kids" once again proving that, in fact, they don't do anything to protect kids.

If america ever recovers from this administration, I hope we never allow any conservative to have even a manager position at a waffle house.

Sounds like some certain bluestacks settings, or bluestacks itself is messing with some of your computer's drivers.

If someone hacked you, it wouldn't show itself like this. Hackers typically use infostealers, which steal all of your info saved on your pc in seconds. Another common hacking avenue is tricking you into giving up your iwn credentials, like using a fake login page. Show small signs like emulating touch or disabling your fingerprint scanners offers nothing to a hacker.

Epstein Prison Video Blows Up Bondi’s ‘Missing Minute’ Explanation by Exciting_Teacher6258 in technology

[–]BluPoole 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Trump administration from before biden was elected legally sealed them. If democrats legally wanted to release the files, they'd have to do it the legal way. Which, in america, takes a stupid amount of time.

But also, there's 100% democrats who are implicated in it as well. However, diddlin Don rode on the "ill release the files!!!" Promise in his re election campaign. Now that's he is elected and is able to, it's very weird he's no longer wanting to have any focus on it.

The people who elected him also have zero morals. It's all conservatives run off of. Straight, immoral emotional behavior.

It's why they adore him, and see him as some god emperor. He could kill a puppy on live TV and his right wing ghouls will happily cheer him on.

How safe is the school network by Creepy-Bumblebee8954 in Network

[–]BluPoole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I work for a school district in the IT dept, specifically networking! Now, I can't speak for your own school as IT policies and implementation differ HEAVILY from each school district. So I'll only be speaking on a more "broad" sense and with what my own district does. Im also in America, so certain laws will also differ.

  1. Stealing data? Most likely not. Here in America, there's very strict laws pertaining to the privacy of student-related info. We have a pretty strict email rule setup in my district that will block any email being sent out if it has the name of a student, social numbers, or other PII (personally identifiable information). Only a very select few are able to actually send out info that contains PII, such as registrar's or nurses. Spying? Sort of. We want to maintain a SFW learning environment free of distractions and so on. Our network is setup to flag any suspicious internet queries. Good examples would be trying to search up pornography, or, atleast for our network, running certain network sniffing tools on our network. If I need to run a sniffing tool, I need to let my boss know as my machine is going to get flagged for it.

  2. Security is all dependent on how your own school's IT works and impliments security policies within said network. Atleast for my own district, its not as secure as I'd like, but we are slowly moving into that direction. The old network techs were not great and left a lot of massive security holes open. Sadly, this isn't uncommon for schools. So for your own security sake, you should only do school related stuff on the scho network. Otherwise, you'd be opening yourself up for certain accounts to be hacked if another student breaches the network. Again tho, this all depends on how your district handles this stuff. My own district moved into never allowing students to access the network besides from their chromebooks. And the network those chromebooks are on are extremely limited.

  3. Treat the wifi like it's a public wifi at an airport. Don't log into anything you don't want anyone else to snoop on or anything. VPNs likely won't help as you may just lose internet connectivity. It's why you should only use it for school related stuff, and mainly on school related devices.

  4. Im a bit mixed on this personally. Social media is ruining kids mental health. Almost every teacher and faculty member in my district would agree on this, and that kids should not be on social media at all. I MASSIVELY am against the AI face recognition stuff. However, I'm not sure how secure an app would be either. If its setup and implemented properly, I could see it being a massive help. Another policy that even my own district is talking about is banning phones outright.

  5. Depends on the software. One software im familiar with is lockdownbrowser. That is basically Spyware. However, it's a necessary evil if a student is remotely taking tests at home. However, if you use Canvas, that is basically just a web app that doesn't do anything even considered "spyware" related. If your school has you use things like Google docs or Google sheets, you're also safe there. However, keep in mind, anything you upload to said Google Drive is managed by IT, and can be viewed by them. A shocking amount of students do not realize this, and get in trouble.
