Thanks for the easy 2 factor setup!
I'm amazed when retailers and such do not require it

> I'm amazed when retailers and such do not require it

Because your personal data is your responsibility. If that retailer was not hacked why should it care if your data was stolen by your mistake?

 

[beperov]

@BzzBzz Because the information is always in potential danger if there's not a good security system, genius

 

[Tatsuya-Kai]

@DanYHKim because you'd be surprised how many people don't use cell phones for safety and privacy reasons, it's one of those double edged sword arguments.

 

[tsuu]

As many of people here said, I thought the friend request was real...

 

[TrueGoddessReincarnation]

@Yatsuki. I'm pretty sure those are just the default random ones you get when you can't be bothered to change your avatar.

 

[Yatsuki]

@TrueGoddessReincarnation Nope, the last wave of spam bots we had (the one that had viruschat link) all had the same avatar of 02's cosplay, definitely not the default avatars

 

[TrueGoddessReincarnation]

@Yatsuki, ah I see the friend request I got had a default avatar. So ban all people with cosplay or 02 avatars then instead?

@Zephyrus
What exactly is the harm of accepting one of those compromised accounts as friends? Can they do something to your account just because you're now friends? Does that grant them any extra power?

 

[CharAznable]

I ignore just about everything social wise on the site since I use it for manga. Thanks for the heads up though.

Yes, but you logging in to amazan.to is not amazon's problem.

 

[Yatsuki]

@TrueGoddessReincarnation But then they could just reprogram the bots/scripts to set another avatar instead, I think banning based on avatars is not exactly a good way to prevent bots.

 

[berubetto]

Is mangadex.cc a phishing site?

 

[Yatsuki]

@berubetto No, it's legit

 

[N0Mi0]

But what's the danger of accepting friend requests?

 

[Ahlya]

@xsweetmex

LMAO it is dont worry, Im using the forum as a way to make friends since people are saying they're sad they have no friend requests

 

[Firstborn]

The only one who has a lot of time and consideration in the future

 

[ohfrick]

ok

 

[Sayo_Aisaka]

Friends are just people who haven't become your enemies yet. Thank God that wasn't a genuine request.
