So. FA is back.
I'm not... super excited about it. This site doesn't hold any special significance for me. It has the largest watchlist of the sites I frequent, mostly because all the artists are here because all the clients are here because all the artists are here and so on and so forth.
This latest security kerfuffle concerns me. It concerns me because apparently this exploit could have been fixed a lot earlier, and it exposes yet another security flaw that FA has that wasn't patched ahead of time. It allowed somebody to mess with the site and skim passwords. People could, yet again, access private information. For what it is, FA has had repeated problems and not a lot of track record of being open about them.
So here we are, yet again.
I don't want people to watch me here. I don't really want to post things here. I'm on SoFurry, which has been a lot better security-wise. It's not like I get a lot of response here period. Or anywhere, for that matter. Not that I'm fishing for comments or anything but just...
I'm not telling you what you folks should do. You guys are gonna do what you want. I'm not even sure that I have a definite answer for myself. I guess I was just speaking out loud.
Edit -How do you even shut down notes any damn way? Notes disabled
