Seems like either Dom or the site keeps taking down threads on this topic. This is at least the 3rd I've seen.

No, this thread is perfectly fine. Just weird how the others were deleted earlier -- presumption being not by respective authors but who knows. Let's see if 3rd time is the charm.

I was the first one, picked a bad article that overstated the depth of the breech. Turns out it was crappy code on an unsecured server. Still funny though.

I'm pretty sure I was second and did the exact same thing, lol.

Anyway, I'd like to these these women learned something about how it's wrong to spread personal info (along with questionable gossip) across the internet but I know better.

Some of the women were putting their ID as proof for the app, that’s just ridiculously stupid. It also tracks that an app like Tea wouldn’t have the best security. I also thought they said they deleted all images? Par for the course on that lol. Wonder if there’s anything in the DMs that got leaked.

Edit: just saw that the photos all had their metadata… someone’s getting sued.

Even better, in one of the dumps I saw one woman used her DoD badge for identification. All that security training was money well spent, I guess.

Tons of uncensored drivers licenses with face photos, name, address, DoB, license number, all the good stuff a bad actor could ask for, hanging out in an unsecured public facing container.

It's just dumb slides and videos you click through followed by a shitty multiple choice test you can endlessly retake until you pass so you can absolutely just brute force it. It's all the check a box, not to actually train anyone. If we were serious about security then 70% of these people wouldn't be getting hired to begin with.

We do have a public mod log so you can check whether something was censored or self deleted. Pick your either domain flavor, although the scored one has more functionality:

https://kotakuinaction2.win/logs

https://scored.co/c/KotakuInAction2/logs

You can go there any time and see how hard chill seeming new users are getting shadow banned by the community filter auto mod until they leave from lack of response.

The one thing I'll give props to Dom for is making these public. The faggots who moderate TheDonald don't. Hell, links to https://unscored.arete.network/ are shadowbanned there. They do not want people knowing how much they censor people.

Somehow I think everyone knows, deep down, that this app is at least 90% blue haired anti-male crusaders using it to play the devil on the shoulder role to other women. As a safe space for that stuff it's definitely going to turn toxic.

90% blue haired anti-male crusaders, and I would be willing to bet at least a third of those were assigned male at birth.

And the rest were just a bunch of alpha widows mad that Chad used them for a night and ghosted. The same women that see the bottom 90% of men as unattractive

Even if AI coding actually gets gud (which it probably won't) what it will never do is stop stupid people doing retarded things like storing other people's license photos in an open, public database without encryption. The AI would have to tell users "your idea sucks and you should be ashamed of yourself, you fucking retard" which is impossible.

Future senior coders are going to become sanitation workers and make obscene amounts of money wading through unimaginable mountains of shit ideas proomted into production by retards.

– Grumman 8 points 313 days ago +8 / -0

That's actually one problem a sufficiently competent AI could solve, since an unencrypted database can still store encrypted cyphertext. In this hypothetical future you tell the AI to store sensitive data in an insecure database so it automatically adds the necessary infrastructure to do that securely.

AI coding is great if you already understand coding. It significantly speeds my development up, but I also know how to do it in pieces and my prompts are basically pseudocode. It's not much different than working with a development team.

Now if you know fuck all about coding, you can eventually get something up that runs by blindly pasting generated code in, but good luck fixing it later if the AI hallucinates its way into a corner.

AI coding is great for two tiers of coders:

those fluent in the language and have it do most of your bitchwork and you can yell at it on the fly when the code doesn't pass the eye test.

script kiddies who know enough to install languages and environments and hit run. They no longer have to go ask the same fucking questions on stack overflow anymore. Limited to scripts rather than projects.

everyone should strive to be at least a script kiddy in 2025, it's like having a digital swiss army knife.

What's a good way to reach script kiddy level? How long does it take? I never got into coding, did a course in highschool forever ago but I just fucked around on online all semester. We were learning an outdated code (can't remember the name) and my teacher literally didn't know it,he was also a pedo freak (true story), so I didn't really give it a chance.

Ironically, start with something like ChatGPT, but ask the right questions. Start with something like python, which is a very multi use language and not too hard to pick up. Use AI to teach you, not just copy paste code in.

Are you talking about hacking? Or just running scripts? I'm talking about running scripts to make your life easier when you have a need for it without knowing how to actually code.

And all it takes for that is to watch a youtube video on how to install python, set PATH, and install visual studio.

Open VS Code, ask AI to write you a py script, paste script (you will need to install some packages, AI will tell you) hit run/save it as a .py file and run it thru cmd.

Try snake or some stupid shit. Once it works, tell AI to modify it and run it again. like what the rebuildingmyself says but you'll more or less learn thru osmosis over time just get comfortable with the tools and don't bother lifting a finger coding unless you feel like it.

Once you've done that you pretty much can have it write whatever tools you need when you need it.

Doesn't have to be python, it's just easy to start with.

I feel the same way about design. Yeah, you can try to design a place with it, but if you don't know how to anyway, it's not going to work. The AI is a tool.

For those unfamiliar with the vague neologism, "vibe coding", according to wikipedia, is

vibe coding emphasizes staying in a creative flow: the human developer avoids micromanaging the code, accepts AI-suggested completions liberally, and focuses more on iterative experimentation than code correctness or structure.

So basically using AI, and not bothering to check anything or have actual knowledge of how it works.

Edit: and the retardation was apparently not necessarily the coding, they just stored it in a public cloud storage(which could be a config issue if they aren't using the same storage as the application itself, if they are, then it is stupid coding)

Further edit: Wasn't this the anonymous Man bashing app? So these was just the verification data to prove you were a woman?(FFS that could have been a wretchedly old school mailto: link and worked just as well, and in this case, more securely)

I bet AI not only recommended Firebase Storage, but also gave the "developer" the instructions on how to create the public bucket, which the retard then followed without understanding.

So this app is like a Glassdoor for rating men in a dating context.

Probably no protections against defamation.

Probably designed specifically to enable defamation while simultaneously making it as difficult as possible for the men being defamed to get enough evidence to get a lawsuit started.

As a rule I absolutely refuse to use any online service that requires sending them a photo of my ID.

Actually, I'll have to made an addendum. I did once, with the ATF, when I e-filed a form 1 to register an SBR.

There really is no good reason to ever do so.

And if a person ever thinks it is for something like Twitter or some other apps verification, its a better sign they should be quitting that entirely.
