    Yeah, as someone who doesn’t get paid to do security, but does it anyway because it is their passion…

    Dad is on the right side of things. Hijacking a phone connection like that is fucking HARD. I’ve been studying hacking since Zork.

    While spelling out your email and password phonetically is a pain, its fairly secure.

    To pedants: I said fairly, no one under observation from a three letter agency should use this.

      Whew, good to know I’m safe as I’m only under investigation by the New Mexico Bureau of Investigations. The NMBI

      It also ends up on a notepad next to their computer. But at least that requires physical access. And your Netflix password is the least of your concerns in that case

      Man in the middle at the demark, flower pot, or ped. It’s “clipboard and safety vest” easy until underground or past the mux.
