According to the daily mail the new trump social media site was hacked and fake profiles created
if this is based on Mastodon, is this an older version or are there some genuine security concerns here that can affect other instances.
@freemo Thought so, typical daily mail reporting shows how totally clueless they are with regard to technology. Poor reporting too.
🇳🇱
@zleap yea very true, and often true of most mainstream media honestly.
@freemo Which is what worries me, they report what they don't understand so badly what sort of image are they going to pant of the fediverse. ?
@zleap also valid.
@zleap Or they just set up the server poorly and it has nothing to do with Mastodon
@zleap Yeah, saw the reply now. Classic DailyMail.
@Alex Indeed, sadly people who read that who are not clued up just take it as the truth. The daily mail are good at sensationalism,
@zleap Hacked is a very strong word. The dude literally just typed in the standard signup link which had been removed from the main page... Its not hacking, its stupidity on the site maintainers part, nothing more.
