Depends on the disaster!

The AGI disaster mode is particularly fun. Start a city in 2050 and deploy.

I've been experimenting with Fable 5.1 and it's ability to one-shot from a reasonable PRD, and then follow up/evaluate its work and then create/improve via a ticket stack and loops. This is a Friday afternoon prototype and fun to play. Enjoy!

Hmm. Another one for your security audit. I was able to change the registered email address on our account

1) Without re-entering my creds following login 2) With no notification to the old email address that this had been done.

Re:BrowserStack Post Mortem (Shell shocked) on Wednesday November 12, 2014 @06:49AM (#8594997)

Thanks (can't reply direct to the reply for some reason)

Re:BrowserStack Post Mortem (Shell shocked) on Wednesday November 12, 2014 @06:42AM (#8594971)

Me again.

"he was only able to reach less than 1% (our estimate is 5,000 users)"

So you have 500k registered customers then? Surely not.

Re:BrowserStack Post Mortem (Shell shocked) on Wednesday November 12, 2014 @06:40AM (#8594965)

OK, I want to make sure though. How can these creds be regenerated? What happens if we had leaked them accidentally, there seems no way to regen them?

Re:BrowserStack Post Mortem (Shell shocked) on Wednesday November 12, 2014 @06:39AM (#8594961)

Another thing to mention here - we've received no direct contact from BS at all following this - if we hadn't been following this on HN (and we were a little naive) we might still not know this email was not genuine. The blog post mortem is great, but I think it's a poor show not to reach out to affected customers directly.

Re:BrowserStack Post Mortem (Shell shocked) on Wednesday November 12, 2014 @06:36AM (#8594947)

Is anyone from BrowserStack monitoring this thread? We received the email so we can assume our account was accessed by the hacker. Passwords crypted and salted (ok - changed) but what about the BrowserStack automate username and token, generated by BS themselves, that we are unable to edit or regen?

This guy is crazy if he thinks an organisation with annual /revenues/ of $110M will spend $10M+ on a domain name.
