SECURITY RESEARCH AND DATA PRIVACY
Always Rambling on about Games and Security
Undoubtedly, in a year of constant bad news, watching the erasure of a racist, tyrant Bloodclat World leader has been the number one boast to my happiness.
It’s incredible how the audacity of hope hits me across the pond. Now it’s all about rebuilding a non-destructive situation and making my second home fantastic again.
U……S……A U……S……A U……S……A
Arriving at an empty Heathrow Airport was incredibly eerie and travelling on an empty Underground train reminded me of how Sundays used to be decades ago.
No tourist, no business folk, no commuters just the old worker…it was 11am.
In the meantime, I was so out of touch that I didn’t realise the Leader of the Labour Party had changed to some dude named Keir Hardie…who?
Timorously, I poke my head out into life in the UK like a timid rabbit…is it safe? No time for doubt, in fact now is the time to push ahead and be an early adopter of the new World. Of course, I’m missing the 2nd Raid and Season in Tom Clancy’s The Divison 2 with no temptation as my PS4 is in another country now..ho-hum.
Outside the gaming industry news of compromised gaming accounts will appear as pretty trivial in the scope of things. 160k worldwide accounts is relatively small but what if your data was involved?
Typically, your account could be used for money laundering activities leading the law directly to your doorstep. Anyhow, I will not be losing any sleep over this and why is 2-factor authentication still an option and not mandatory…when will they learn?
Meanwhile, hours after the news thousands of players are force kicked from all Division 2 Servers without reason. Maybe, just a sanity check from the providers.
It’s kinda worrying when a health workers turns up to your house after you’ve called medical services for a C-19 test.
I’m not panicking yet as at least this way I will know either way why I feel so bad over the past few days. Is it Myasthenia gravis kicking my ass again or something else?
Persistent dry cough, fluctuating body temperate, inability to think clearly, chronic lack of motivation. Feels like chest infection but goes away every few hours.
No contact with friends or family, checking email occasionally, No social media or WhatsApp. Visit the local grocery store every couple of days for food.
