She got an email from “facebookmail . com” (which is apparently, the legit Facebook domain, not phishing) saying her phone number had been removed the account. <br/><br/>After checking it wasn’t a phishing mail, we click the “this wasn’t me” link, go through the restore procedure, and she’s logged back into Facebook in the account.<br/><br/>But the password and email has been changed, and the phone number is not restored, so the hacker is still in control. 2025-07-15T11:39:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqj9t4wypcnvac9wxepp2etl70jl2sle3xlaq6sq5gnk9a9270e3czyz245823c8pvmdtcthm0hzs4p426frpdhcqq2nf5wy7csrwcd2uh5sfh0wg So after finally getting my framework for making tools for classic Mac OS in a usable state last weekend, this weekend my project was to start getting familiar with the AppleTalk APIs.<br/><br/>I&#39;m now scanning all of #GlobalTalk in 8 seconds flat!<br/><br/>A wee bit faster than the HyperCard XCMD setup I was using for TalkCrawler earlier this year...<br/><br/>#VintageApple<br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://files.bitbang.social/media_attachments/files/114/846/489/573/328/191/original/eb0d0ebc913911ce.mp4"></video><br/> 2025-07-13T14:56:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9jjqev2zd4ra0n44t03lvude0c8ag798yxxdqsj03lqgy900s9qszyz245823c8pvmdtcthm0hzs4p426frpdhcqq2nf5wy7csrwcd2uh5vdljtw I was walking back from the mall and figured it couldn’t hurt to drop in to HARD OFF on the way back.<br/><br/>Wandering through the Junk PC aisle, I had a double-take, what is that purple beauty on the bottom shelf?<br/><br/>A SiliconGraphics O2?
