I use Lookify.io which lets you look up a carrier without creating an account - you can also see if anyone else flags it as spammy but who knows if the reports are anything other than anecdotal

This is the craziest part of the whole article - imagine you wanted to own something like "555-FOOD" - to have this vanity number work in every area code, you'd be looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars (annually?) if you used Verizon to route the calls

Anecdote: Out of every bank and financial institution I have ever tried hacking (ethically, as part of bug bounty programs) Goldman Sachs is hands down, without a doubt, the most secure externally. By a long shot. They have what basically amounts to a central authentication service that 95% of their public facing IP’s resolve to. Their sub domains are locked down, they have a reasonably good patch schedule, they swiftly denylist your IP after running light scanners - it’s not a joke. I challenge you to find a vulnerability - when you do - get some money for it: https://hackerone.com/goldmansachs

Many of us including myself are unable to fathom living a life like this, but I imagine this man will die in peace with a flock of sheep to his name, listening to the cuckoos.

And he will be just as happy (if not happier) as any of us reading this article.

Sincere question - not meant to be inflammatory: Do you actually believe that most employees in the United States are coerced/forced to sign employment contracts, or are you simply playing devil's advocate?

My favorite part of this response is in the footnote on page two, which states:

>If your client sincerely fears that this depiction is too realistic to be perceived as parody, Krazam’s video should be the least of its reputational concerns.

Followed by screenshots from the video showing the DocuSign "Docustage" and Meme Center (Sponsored by GE). At the end of the video itself, the Coachella participant is banned from the event because their "vibes are not compliant with the Coachella policy".

Glad EFF stepped in here to protect small creators such as this one.

Is this a security problem? Depends on who you ask - but I'm willing to bet it would fall into the "accepted risk" category for the Facebook security team if they had to evaluate this.

The reality is that phone number lookup services are available all over the web which provide even more information (first+last name, address, zip code, social media profile links, etc etc etc) for free (https://www.bestfreephonelookup.com/phone-number/ as an example) - these services get their info from data aggregators and usually - your carrier! I don't see how Facebook exposing (in _limited_, very specific circumstances) the first name of a persons phone number being a security issue.

All the people in this thread screaming GDPR violation don't understand that if someone decides to stop using Facebook and delete their account, this method to lookup someone will not work. Sidenote: If you're really paranoid about having your phone number expose your real name when you're using any type of service online, just sign up for a Google Voice (voice.google.com) account and link it to your cell phone - I use this whenever I sign up for anything online and it saves me a ton of spam and scam calls.

EDIT: Facebook removed the ability to use the in-app search box in Facebook to find people based on just a phone number, this has been removed for at least 2 years.

I don’t even know where to start with this post:

- This isn’t even necessarily a hack. At best, this is a mild inconvenience to the user accounts that you are locking out, on what appears to be a legacy system, due to a quasi-brute force.

- You are “hacking” this company, without their permission, because you want “payback” that Amazon didn’t hire you for what you perceive to be a racially opinionated interviewer. Despite whether this theory (yes, it is purely speculation) is true or not, I would imagine this is HR 101 and a company as large as Amazon would go to great lengths to ensure that this is not the case.

- Your sense of entitlement goes even further, despite having illegally “hacked” a company, after all of this you expect a payment from them?

If anything, this post reaffirms that they made the right decision in not hiring you for the role you were being considered for, and guarantees that you won’t have an opportunity to interview again.

What’s peculiar about this is that parental restrictions itself on iOS has always been flawed, Apple knew about it, and it’s still an issue to this day. The sole purpose of parental restrictions on iPhone was to block adult websites... and that worked as well as you can imagine: https://www.jonbottarini.com/2017/03/09/bypassing-apples-ios...

This is incredible.

Great website, never heard of it before. Will definitely be using it as a resource in the future!

That was my tweet believe it or not. I had to turn notifications off on my phone because out of nowhere it was getting bombarded with shares/likes...

As a researcher, I am incredibly, incredibly excited to see H1 grow and more companies come online. I pay a good portion of my rent through bug bounties and I have to admit the gamification and ease of working with H1 makes it fantastic for someone like me.

As with most events that have occurred since Trump took the presidency, I am concerned, but optimistic. She has my full support, I hope she makes great changes to a system that desperately needs it.

Pop-ups like that have long been shown to improve conversion rates... at the increase of pissing off people who wouldn't have been a conversion anyway.

I usually have them for other projects I am working on - rarely do I purchase a domain just to let it sit there, but that's just me.

Not in the market to domain squat... gotta put them to use somehow.
