it makes sense since they function as a global reverse proxy and do MItM decryption of traffic for optimization purposes. But them calling it in such a way is creepy, and also now the cybersecurity community needs to rekon with something we technically knew was going on before but didn't consciously consider a threat, until now.

I've been warning for CDN's like Cloudflare and Fastly (and cloud providers in general) for a long time.

Here's a recent toot (in Dutch, the "translate" button should do the job): https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/114042082778156313.

If you trust Google to translate it (guaranteed NOT error-free, it *may* work in other browsers than Chrome): https://infosec-exchange.translate.goog/@ErikvanStraten/114042082778156313?_x_tr_sl=nl&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

P.S. Fastly knows your https://infosec.exchange login credentials.

If your adblock is good enough you always see the captchas, so you always know when a thing is cloud flair.

Also, who's not doing single use email addresses? Every site is a sea of spammy notification/cart abandonment/special offer/watch list/privacy policy update/m&a mail... And thats before they get pwned or sell your details.

Who wants all that in one mail box?

I already get a bitcoin scam call every 2 weeks because i enabled sms 2fa one place and scammers got hold of the number. At this point they know i know and they know i know that, but the guys on the phone have a call/hour quota and they gotta pay rent i guess...

Cory Doctorow @pluralistic argued that hiding your email address from spambots is futile anyway so he doesn't worry when he publishes it regularly: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2010/dec/21/keeping-email-address-secret-spambots

He needs a good spam filter technique though. Afaik he is still using the same email address.

A good promo for #Thunderbird , it’s a very good email client. I use it as well (not that my use is any recommendation whatsoever next to Cory’s :)

We welcome any and all recommendations! They are all good, and thanks for using us (and telling your fediverse friends.) 😊 🙌
