uh... so uh... discord is down.

apparently it's global outage.

however Miq, on the same network as me, same router connection and everything, is happily able to be on Discord, and voice chatting away with another friend in the UK that I was also meant to be talking to regarding business stuff.

...and only me and my phone appear affected... hm.

Oh and don't reply to it at all, or click any links in it. MAYBE screencap it, send it to whatever phishing report system you can, or find one of those bitcoin wallet lookup things and report it for scamming like I did I guess (I don't use bitcoin, I never will, and I have no idea whether it'll do anything but hey why not), but otherwise just ignore/delete it forever. It's not real, it's fake.

So yeah just be aware if you get an email that has your own display name as the sender (and a random email address that's almost certainly spoofed) as well as one of your old passwords (probably one you've used before but already changed as a result of it being in one of those data breaches which is basically publicly available), claiming to have keylogged you using a porn site and hacked your webcam and display, and contacts, it's fake. They're trying to scare you into paying bitcoin. Ignore it

lol, just relaised I got an extortion email from some chucklefuck trying to get bitcoin outta me, saying they got video of me from my webcam (WHAT webcam?? rofl) of me watching porn, and threatening to send it to my friends and family unless I pay about 1k in bitcoin.

Turns out you can look up a bitcoin wallet address and see how much is in it, and if it's been reported for fraud/scams. Well, there was one before, and there's another now, and there's no transactions on it, and no balance. haha

2fa: amazing when it works

absolute arseballs hwen it doesn't. fucksake.

Aw jeez

can't log into my blizzard account to install the launcher to uninstall Overwatch to uninstall battle.net because I guess the authenticator isn't synced and I could try and recover it but I can't because I don't have the original recovery code so I go and try and disconnect the authenticator from my account but yOU NEED THE CODE FROM THE AUTHENTICATOR WHICH DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE I GUESS IT'S NOT THE RIGHT AUTHENTICATOR THANKS BLIZZARD
