XMPP Providers: XMPP Providers Fully Automated
Automate all the ThingsDuring the past year, the team behind the XMPP Providers project worked on automating the process of gathering data about XMPP providers.
Automating this process reduces manual work significantly (for example, checking websites by hand, verifying information, listing sources, etc.) and helps to sustain the team’s efforts.
Automation also enables the project to be up to date – every day!

How Google Authenticator made one company’s network breach much, much worse | Ars Technica
🤦♂
WHY are these big companies treated as though they are the be all and end all of infosec? These are rookie mistakes Google’s making, at scale.
Unfortunately Google employs dark patterns to convince you to sync your MFA codes to the cloud, and our employee had indeed activated this “feature”. If you install Google Authenticator from the app store directly, and follow the suggested instructions, your MFA codes are by default saved to the cloud. If you want to disable it, there isn’t a clear way to “disable syncing to the cloud”, instead there is just a “unlink Google account” option.
Like, never ever put your multi-factor tokens into a single cloud storage location! The whole point of this being “multi” factor is that there is a separate, independent physical factor involved in the authentication process. If the authenticator app on your phone puts the tokens in the cloud, then it reduces the security that comes from having a second factor. This is basic stuff.
Of course, never ever use Google Authenticator. All it does is generate TOTP and HOTP codes, which you can do with any OTP app, preferably an open source one that’s been vetted.

I just received this email and I have some questions:
This email is from a trusted sοurce.
You received this abucci@bucci.onl because you have been disconnected from sending and receiving emails.
To continue using this email address we urge you to re-confirm if your account is still active on bucci.onl to officially unlock it to our default settings.
Re-confirm account (a link; removed)
※ This process is very important to help us protect your internet and fight malicious activities.
Since I administer bucci.onl myself, I’m a little confused. I don’t recall disconnecting myself from sending and receiving emails. I don’t even know how you disconnect someone from that. I also have never created the email address this email appears to be coming from, but maybe I should trust it anyway since they told me it’s a trusted source? Most puzzlingly, I’ve been sending and receiving emails just fine all morning, so I do not appear to be disconnected from anything? I want to help protect the internet and fight malicious activities, but what should I do??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I’m playing around with snac2, which I think @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no mentioned on here, and I have to say it’s extremely easy to set up and it’s been pretty straightforward so far.

For now I’m abucci@buc.ci, but no guarantees that will remain stable; I’m just testing for the time being.
