Played a run through, would be nice to be able to play more than 1 puzzle (if there's nobody to queue with quickly in multiplayer). Maybe let me play yesterday's puzzle or something, especially if I just figured out the ropes?
Good idea! I’ll add an option to let you play previous Daily Puzzles, especially if you’re still getting the hang of things. To still keep the Daily Leaderboard fair and competitive, only players who complete the puzzle on the actual day it’s released will be eligible for that day’s leaderboard. Check back tomorrow for that feature!
I read this and came away a bit sheepish not really grasping the significance of extreme focus on PRNG and entropy for basic things. Glad to see the rest of the comments agreeing. "What every experimenter must know"...
It's not defense in depth, it's defense against a different threat entirely.
You want to have encryption, but I doubt their encryption or lack thereof has anything to do with this attack. Do we even have evidence the data wasn't encrypted?.
If someone gets access to a ticketing system they shouldn't have, talking about encryption is about as useful as talking about seatbelts. Important for general safety but irrelevant to the problem at hand.
Yes, that is how I read it as well. Email was just for fun, and the code came by a different channel (of course). The email the scammer sent wouldn't contain a code they can use to take over his account (of course).
On obvious spoofs I see "legal@gmail.com <via scamdude@askjdfaskldfj.net>". I think he means that it didn't indicate the latter. And if gmail phone app didn't fail to display headers he could have looked
Your analogy is different. They bought for X, then when it was stolen it was worth 80k, and at this random time today, it's worth $120k and he's saying he lost $120k.
Value is arbitrary, and only crystallises at liquidation. I have a painting I paid £300 for. Works by that artist are now selling for £10000. Does that make my painting worth £10000? I can send it to be appraised but even if it is valued at £10000 that value could only ever be realised if I send it to auction. If I wait too long the artist may fall out of fashion and the work may be worth less than I paid. The real value is the pleasure it gives me each day when I look at it. Is that worth more or less than £10000?
Be that as it may, it's missing the illogical point the other person raised. If your $300 painting was worth $10k when it got stolen from you, but 7 years later the market value is $1M, you don't say "I was robbed of a million"

This is key. I would "never" fall for a scam like this. But who knows for sure? I would also never cheat on my partner, but can I say with 100% certainty that some insane situation can't possibly ever come up where my many layered defenses are compromised? Can some sufficiently charismatic individual deliver a perfect AI script to me based on info from 5 other breaches, in my brother's voice, to make me give up a 2fa token in an emergency? Maybe! So just never answer the phone, ever
It's honestly irresponsible to pick up phone calls at this point. Phishers are really good, and every human has some weakness, so you can't guarantee you wouldn't fall for something -- perhaps one day a new vulnerability comes out and your old guidance is no longer perfect. Answering the phone at all is just putting yourself at risk
