Email abuse is still ongoing. It’s like an annoying fly, with a similar lifespan.

Trying the Otter AI transcription of an uploaded MP3 audio file that was created by using Downie to download a YouTube Webinar video as an MP4 that I then converted to an audio only MP3 with Permute.

I'm hoping the transcribing is good. It'll take abut 12 minutes in total for the whole process to transcribe a 50-minute video.

Before it would take 50 minutes as the video played and Otter AI listened and transcribed in real time.

They also tried to sign me up to the SDLP and GBNews sites.

Bad news to whoever it is. I’ve screening on my email. Nothing gets through until I approve the sending address. And when I click no, I never see any email from that address again.

HEY email screening FTW. https://mastodon.social/@ianRobinson/112529871920500866

Okay. It’s starting to look like whoever is messing with my email address is someone who knows me. They just tried to sign me up to the Ulster Unionist Party.

If you are reading this. Get a dog. Go for long walks. You need a hobby.

They are trying to log in to my @atpfm account now as well.

I hope I don’t have to retire the email that I used with TicketMaster. 🙁

It’s handy that TicketMaster built up all that goodwill with their customers (both artists and fans) over the years.

Now they get to cash it in in relation to the antitrust investigation and the new massive data breach.

@WarnerCrocker Sorry. Note the hashtags. I was being sarcastic.

Someone is trying to change my TicketMaster password and my email password. 😡

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster Emails with MFA codes to enter in the website to prove it’s me. It’s not me.

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster It’ll be automated. Not everyone will have MFA enabled.

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster No. I changed the TicketMaster one yesterday. Just tried it and it still works. The email one is because I have it as my TicketMaster login. Ignoring emails with the password reset link for it.

Given it’s those two it’s almost certainly related to the TicketMaster breach https://mashable.com/article/ticketmaster-data-breach-shinyhunters-hack

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster Assume the password is compromised as well.

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster Correct. But be wary of reset emails for the email you use to log in to TM. Ignore them.

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster No. Your login password for TicketMaster will be stored by TM. Ideally it’ll be stored in what is called a hashed form. Which means it’s encrypted. I don’t know if TicketMaster did that. Hence given the breach it’s best to assume the password is compromised as well.

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster BTW. They don’t have my password for my email account. That’s why I’m getting password reset response emails from my email provider.

They only have my email address as that’s what I use on Ticketmaster.

@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster I don’t know. It could just be malicious activity to annoy me.

I changed my Ticketmaster password yesterday. Recommended.

@zippy1981 They were hacked.

Listening to Decoder with Nilay Patel (Google Zero is here. Now what?): https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chrt.fm/track/524GE/traffic.megaphone.fm/VMP5635164199.mp3?updated=1717033911

For nearly 20 years now, the web has been Google’s platform; we’ve all just lived on it…For a lot of small businesses and content creators, that’s suddenly not stable anymore. The number one question I have for anyone building things on someone else’s platform is: What are you going to do when that platform changes the rules?

Woohoo! I've caught up with 2024! I've moved my #business #website & the site for the #EmailDiscussionList #CopyeditingL (I'm the list owner) from being "http" to being secure "https" sites. Yes, I took a long time, but now ... YAY! https://www.kokedit.com https://www.copyediting-l.info/ #editor #NotWebmaster

It sad when people you’ve looked up to as creators, musicians, or sports people, turn into assholes as they age.

Maybe they’ve always been assholes but hid it well.

Maybe attitudes have evolved but they are stuck in the time and attitude from when they were famous.

Jerry Seinfeld is only the latest. He won’t be the last. Sadly.

I can pay for a month of Sky Sports tomorrow to get access on NowTV to watch the T20 Men’s Cricket World Cup. The final is on the 29th of June.

I’m also paying for Netflix for a month as the Geek Girl adaptation drops tomorrow.
