Christine Lemmer-Webber made an excellent blog post ~6 months ago titled How Decentralized is Bluesky really?

Give that a read.

LLM’s produce fan-fiction of reality.

This article is about credentials that are stolen directly from users’ devices that are compromised with malware. So they will be that user’s passwords for whatever services they were using while infected with the malware. This is why the dumps contain passwords for just about every online service that exists.

This isn’t an actual database breach of the major providers.

If your credentials are in an infostealer dump then you need to make sure that you’ve removed the malware from your device(s) before changing your passwords. Otherwise your new passwords will be sent straight to the same people who got them the first time.

What are the pros/cons of piefed for someone who has only used lemmy?
