"Never assume that data useless to your application is useless to all others - we are asking it different questions"

Privacy is dead because we could disseminate valuable data from crap if our lives depended on it, discarding simple key values for over analysed crap metrics every time.

Oh, and it's also screwing us over... if your keen know more about getting fucked go take a look at @linux 's rant about the matrix.org hack

The matrix.org hack - https://devrant.com/rants/2062377/...

@linux

... How am I supposed to read this? How is this related to data privacy? So confused

@tokumei look at screen shot - @gitpush intentionally obscured it to prevent misuse. Then click the link and find the site on the top Google result

I'm sorry I don't understand, I'm sensing my rant should have been posted as it did pose potential risk on said website?

@gitpush no ‐ Thank you for posting the rant I enjoyed it, I love playing with xss attached attacks in the wild (purely from a secops perspective).

My point is about second questioning all the meta data we consider harmless or meaningless - in our applications and personal lives that we either dont think is worth stealing or securing.

I thought your pic was obscured beyond recognition - 99% of would, especially since the info is so 'generic', but that does not equate to uniqueness. Now consider that It took me 2 Google queries to get a screenshot that was intentionally obscured as the top result (first one returned the theme) - just how much personally identifiable meta data packets are lying around or embedded in a high res selfie

@kurtr your comment made me scared 🤔
I never thought of it that way need to be more careful. Thanks for bringing it up 😀

@kurtr

very well done, I am very impressed!

@gitpush we all should be lol - if devrant had a little more money to throw at storage and wasn't so heavy on image compression the workspace reveal might have in advertly become one massive chain of data breaches

I have learned a lot from this. Thanks!

Just wondering how in your eyes privacy would be dead?

@linuxxx because devs cant tell which information is important

@kurtr Well yeah but privacy is a broad thing, what is it in your eyes?

@linuxxx I'm referring to the amount of meta data leaking out and lying around the web of devices you need to use to be part of society. When you realise the state and extent of web security you realise its only something we are starting to fix now. Everyone's already been pwned atleast once

hopefully they see this in some log
