#passwords — Public Fediverse posts

🤦 Okay. My current brico.be account password is 91 characters long, quite safe according to https://xkcd.com/936/

To change my email it asked me to first change my password because it's supposedly not strong enough.

I proceeded using a 50-characters strong password containing A-Z to Extended ASCII.

❗" Sorry, please use a password between 8 and 16 characters."

Seriously? How is this safer?

Fake GTA 6 Extended Look and demo sites deliver an infostealer

Cybercriminals are exploiting the hype surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI by creating fake Rockstar Games websites that appear in search results offering a GTA 6 demo. These sites impersonate legitimate promotional material for Rockstar's official Extended Look scheduled for August 27 on Netflix. Visitors who click 'Play Now' buttons download gta6_installer.exe, a Vidar infostealer. The malware steals browser-saved passwords, cookies, authenticated sessions, autofill data, and FTP credentials from 19 different browsers including Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. The executable uses legitimate browser binaries in headless mode to access protected data, making credential theft more effective. Stolen session tokens can be reused without triggering two-factor authentication, allowing attackers persistent access even after password changes. The campaign exploited recent GTA 6 leaks that began circulating August 18.
