Remember when reddit was hip enough to have a canary system and now they don't even disclose hacks anymore. It's not the same platform. Good riddance.
I mean, to be fair they disclosed it immediately. https://www.redditinc.com/blog/sharing-our-findings-around-a-data-security-incident
Good point. Didn't notice that detail in the linked articles.
God I remember reading about Reddit's warrant canary being taken down.
I remember thinking that it was no big deal and it will always be the same.
How wrong and naive I was lol
it's so weird to me that dead canarys are not half as big a thing as I'd expect them to be
For example, it's been close to a decade since Apples Warrant Canary died, and still people consider Apple trustworthy with their data...
I wonder if it's not so much that people don't care but rather that every big tech company will inevitably receive such warrants. Even if you don't use those services, most devices by default use the (probably backdoor-ed) NIST ECC algorithms.
Sounds like reddit is having a bad year.

Oh well. How's everyone's Sunday? I'm making pulled pork sliders tonight.
Pad Thai with zucchini, squash, and cilantro from my garden. Eggs are from my chickens. Everything else super fresh from a local farmers market.
Spez did a little FAFO dance.
Mexican discada tacos over here
Maybe some tasty rice. I want to get an instantpot; never had one before but I have heard they are amazing
You’ll love it! This is a great sample of recipes.

Seconding Corran.
I use mine to cook dog food every week (poor guy is allergic to damn near everything). Often cooks a couple family meals during the week, too. Great labor saver

Smash burgers on the new flattop I just finished seasoning.
Pulled pork sliders sounds like a great plan for an upcoming weekend
Haven't decided.
Maybe ziti with meat balls and marinara, or some bratwurst with potatoes.
I’m making burritos with rice, refried beans that I forgot were homemade, guacamole (with onions this time), and some Beyond ground beef seasoned with the spices in the cabinet that I like but can’t name.
I spent the day playing Subnautica on my Switch, cuddling with my dog, and trying to recover from dehydration caused by the wicked sunburn I got yesterday. Finally feeling better internally. My skin is killing me tho. I can't even apply aloe because my burn is on my back and I can't reach it. Gotta love living alone lol.

Had some pasta with old sausages from the freezer earlier. Surprisingly wasn't that bad.
I did laundry at my parents place with my wife. She's scared of my mom so we did it while they were out of town.
Tried a really good Italian place with the wife afterward was a good date.

Great , we need all the more Bad news spreading about reddit.
they did the entire stunt to open for IPO likely this will screw them.
If that includes user data (such as emails, phone #s, social media accounts, etc.) that's bad news for all of us who have or had accounts with them.
Why would reddit have your phone #s, social media accounts, etc?
Adbux
They're sign up options. You can sign up with Google, Apple, email and they ask users for their phone number for some reason as well iirc.
Good thing I never gave reddit any of those, despite their continued nagging over the years...
the whole point of reddit is that it doesn't have any of my user data, apart from what they can scrape from my browser such as IP address and browser fingerprint(s).
80GB, even zipped, doesn't sound like a lot considering the size of Reddit... or am I wrong about it?
This is why I hate when articles mention the size of the data - that rarely actually matters. What matters is what makes up the data - 80GB is one BluRay, or the entirety of English Wikipedia's text.
Well the size is somewhat important.
It gives a glimpse into what could have been stolen.
But I agree it's not like 80GB of hack is automatically worse than 20GB of hack if it's stolen source code or payment information or similar.
Didn't know BluRays could be that large, I've only heard of them going up to 25 or 50. Any more info on this?
I remember seeing a Atmos Dolby Vision rip. 125GB
Nice, TIL.
BDXL disks have three layers and can hold roughly ~100GB. Mainly used for 4K movies.
If it's only text, it's four times as big as the entirety of English Wikipedia.
Thank you for correcting me!
If this does not include media that a lot of data
It's internal stuff, so yeah 80gb could be quite damning, the group claims it shows things reddit doesn't want people to see.
A snapshot of all of reddit's public text posts up to March 2023 runs about 38GB compressed (zstd) on archive.org. Decompressed, it's well over 300GB.
An internal zstd of 80GB may contain private messages as well or other morsels.
The crumbling of Reddit continues.
No matter the outcome, it's one hell of a ride.
Does anyone know where they are going to leak that data to the public? A torrent? DL? I2P?
Only on their App i bet
Idk how this one is working, but didn't many hacker attacks where they leaked stuff end up being sold on the dark net
Maybe they try something similar or they are straight up sending a fax to everyone
Yeah... they are probably going to sell it to the best bidding on the darknet... but because they said they are going public, I though they were releasing it to everyone.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Funny how my comment on lemmy is on a post about a massive hack on Reddit, because of their bullshit tactics. mlem seems to be like Apollo-ish.
They really wanted $4.5mil for some data? Looks like Spez took a page outta this guy's book lmao

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
