lol at IAB's choice of headline: "Belgian Market Court Confirms Limited Role of IAB Europe In The TCF"
IAB was on the hook for the dreadful cookie "consent" popups that ruined the web (no, it wasn't GDPR that ruined it, it was a very deliberate action by "industry groups" like IAB).
The only reason the Market Court annulled the previous decision was on procedural grounds, while agreeing that IAB is responsible, and keeping the 250 000 EUR fine in place.
Too bad. I wish Market Court would've burned IAB to the ground, salted the earth and scattered the ashes.
TLDR: “The leak consisted of older text messages that included one-time codes that were only valid for 15-minute time frames and the phone numbers they were sent to. The leaked data did not associate the phone numbers with a Steam account, password information, payment information or other personal data.”
Hmm, so the leak did include valid mobile phone numbers of that many Steam subscribers. I suppose that could be valuable intel to someone, down the line.
One of my friends was known to quip that Steam had better security than most banks, even in the early days. And it's true that Steam accounts host data and purchases that are quite valuable to the customers, as well as highly attractive to thieves, so customers do well to protect their accounts to the fullest extent.
A long time ago I was the holder of a Steam account, and I was once notified in email that someone had successfully entered both my username and password, since the password was trivial and/or reused from some other account I had. Since the account was still protected by MFA, I chose to take no action at all. But I believe that the perpetrator had some sort of Russian connection, IPv4 geolocation or something. But it was clearly an instance of: https://m.xkcd.com/2176/
Thanks, I always mix up mold and mildew. However, "arpa" is specifically a lottery ticket, whereas there are tickets for concerts, tickets to ride, tickets in Jira etc...
Arpa is used for all kinds of random chance things, not specifically for lottery. I feel like ticket would still be the equivalent but I guess that would be more transliteration and opinion than direct translation? Also my view for lottery may be skewed due to the Finnish lottery culture, and how lottery has more meanings in English. Sorry turned ranty.
