In the days since I posted this story and this story on Bell Canada’s sales tactics, I’ve gotten lots of emails and Tweets from people that make it clear that Bell Canada have really not made a lot of friends with Canadians. In fact, I have been pointed towards protest groups that have been set up in relation to Bell Canada and their activities. For example, I was pointed to a Google Community that has frequent postings about anything negative that Bell Canada does. Related to this, I also was pointed towards a Twitter feed called “Bell Canada Lies” that is similar to the Google Community.
The thing is that these two examples, combined with other things that I have seen in the last few days, is above and beyond anything that I have seen with any other Canadian telco. Bell Canada has a real PR issue that has existed long before I posted my stories on Bell. That’s a huge problem if you’re Bell. And the fact that people are bringing this to me is also not good for Bell. It says to me that Bell really needs to clean up its act and fast.
Imugr Pwned For 1.7 million user records in 2014… Yes… 2014!
Posted in Commentary with tags Imugr on November 27, 2017 by itnerdAt least they came clean about it even if it was 3 years late.
Image storage site Imgur has confessed to leaking 1.7 million user records in 2014. The company was advised of the breach by HaveIBeenPwned administrator Troy Hunt on November 23, 2017. To which, Hunt said this:
I guess so. Though one would argue that while they were quick to respond once the pwnage was pointed out to them, they had been pwned for about three years by the time they found out. That’s a bit of a #fail.
So you know what to do. Change your Imugr password to one that you don’t use anywhere else so that you can ensure the pwnage doesn’t get any worse.
