Turns out by calling an O2 number you get the recipient cell tower id in the SIP headers, and thus where they are located. 🤯
O2 VoLTE: locating any customer with a phone call
Privacy is dead: For multiple months, any O2 customer has had their location exposed to call initiators without their knowledge.

Steam confirms the recent data breach news is a nothing burger.

Accounts are safe, no account information was leaked. It is just a list of mobile numbers that have received a one-time 15 min code. There is nothing else in the SMS besides the code. Practically useless data on its own.

Something dodgy going on with #AWS #Route53 where DNS servers respond with incorrect A records for a #twitch domain. This manifest as certifcate errors in Chrome. Below is an example of the issue where only 3 out of 8 A records are correct. 🤔

Ending Support for Expiration Notification Emails
Since its inception, Let’s Encrypt has been sending expiration notification emails to subscribers that have provided an email address to us. We will be ending this service on June 4, 2025. The d...
